Builder of Oakland's Fox Theater Once Imprisoned For 'White Slavery'
Today, the Oakland City Council voted to ban smoking in "ATM lines, parks and other public places," which is smurfy, health-conscious, makes the bitch behind you at the ATM line stops her self-righteous fake coughing, will result in animated birds singing on your shoulders, etcetera.
And although we understand that it's a private establishment, this always brings to mind the fact that we can no longer smoke at Denny's. One should still, always, and forever be allowed to light up at Denny's. It just seems right.
In related news, Santa Cruz temporarily lifted its ban on smoking in public parks for the Medical (that's adorable that they put in "Medical") Marijuana Festival. Oh, Santa Cruz, we'll always love you. Because you're insane.

Let's not forget that it was the restaurant worker's union who push for the smoking ban in restaurants (using the argument of working in a safe environment).
What? But I can still walk slowly on the sidewalk in front of a baby carriage while smoking right? Dear god don't take away my most treasured right.
Good. And when is SF going to get with it as well? Every day I get stuck in my walk to work behind some inconsiderate loser blowing smoke in my face. I hope their future cancer/emphysema is painful, indeed.
But I guess if Newsom doesn't even have the balls to fire employees to their faces, we won't see him taking the reins on this one anytime soon.
Way to go Oakland! Why did I move? You are the best.
People will stop bitching about smokers when the smokers stop acting like they have an inalienable right to be pissy when they're not allowed to smoke wherever they want.
Smoking's just like felching. I'm not going to say you can't do it, just do it at home where you won't be getting in anyone else's way with it. Oh, and please don't do either in my lungs.

Yeah about walking behind me as I smoke on a public street... you do realize there are millions of cars around you belching out far more malodorous toxins... you are aware of that fact right?
"What? But I can still walk slowly on the sidewalk in front of a baby carriage while smoking right? Dear god don't take away my most treasured right."
feel free to cross the damn street. besides, you're behind us. that means we have the right of way. really though, if it bothers you that much, go around.
