Even the Economist Agrees

Check out the cover of this week's Economist. "The Rise of Soft Paternalism," it proclaims. I haven't opened the magazine yet, but I know this has something to do with the smoking ban in DC bars. (Yes, I know that DC is technically a "federal district" as opposed to a "state," but you have to give the Economist a pass for not knowing the difference. They're British, after all.)

That eye looming in the background? It's Jim Graham's.
