Big day in DC: we got a new Mayor, a complete smoking ban and we might get a vote in Congress

Adrian Fenty became our Mayor today in DC. He postponed the inaugural speech and inaugural ball because of the Ford funeral today.

Also, for the last few months, smoking has been banned in restaurants, but not bars. If a restaurant had a bar (even in the same room), smoking was allowed in that bar area. Not anymore. The full smoking ban took effect today. Finally.

And, we may finally get an actual, voting member of Congress.
