		<description>In response to Michael&#039;s blog:  Wow people are idiots!  But I do love it so...
In response to Cameron: Wow you can&#039;t smoke on your own balcony? THAT&#039;S retarded. I&#039;m severely sensitive to cigarette smoke, so I hate getting a whiff of it even in places where I&#039;m expecting it...but that&#039;s messed up. Poor smokers...should be allowed to ruin themselves on their own balconies!  :(  Seriously. P.S.- that last sentence wasn&#039;t sarcastic; I really meant it.</description>

		<description>I think you are dead wrong on the smoking issue.

		Maybe because I live in California, where we&#039;ve had the smoking ban for 10 years or so already, I&#039;m tired of this being an issue.  It&#039;s just like right-wingers and being &quot;tough on crime.&quot;  No one likes crime, right?  Of course smoking is bad for you, we all know that.  But are you willing to go so far as to turn it into a criminal act?

		I live near Santa Monica, where they have recently banned smoking in OUTDOOR spaces.  I can&#039;t even smoke on my own balcony in my own apartment.  This is stupid.</description>

		<description>&quot;Fred&#039;s not dead&quot;?!? Is this seriously the best slogan you can come up with?? Does anyone think these comments would actually convince a person to vote FOR Fred Thompson? It boggles the mind.</description>

		<description>Fred&#039;s not dead. I would like to see a McCain/Thompson ticket. I just want either one or both of them to go after Big Oil. We are all standing around while folks can&#039;t make house payments, credit card payments, car payments and spending trillions on overseas peace.</description>

		<description>so i think there are people who go on the internet and google the name of a particular candidate and then go all comment crazy on any website that mentions that candidate.  these people may or may not be paid for this stealth campaigning, i haven&#039;t figured that part out yet.

		whatever you do, just don&#039;t mention ron paul.  then you&#039;ll really be in for it.</description>

		<description>Frederick Paxson said

		I did check his record. It’s on IMDB. He’s a TV actor, a doofus, and a buffoon.

		Fred, it sounds like your describing yourself judging from the stupid remark you made</description>

		<description>Does &quot;surging&quot; mean Thompson has no chance and is running fourth or worse in most states?  If so, then I agree with you, he&#039;s surging. Surging like a hurricane, as the rock band The Scorpions might say.

		I thought he ran a much better campaign when he beat out Dianne Wiest for Manhattan District Attorney on &quot;Law &amp; Order&quot;.  Now that was a coup.  He should reach back into that playbook.</description>

		<description>He is surging at a very good time for his campaign if he did it during the states that were already leaning towards other candidates it would be hard to maintain momentum... waiting until now in what amounts to his kind of stomping grounds for a big push might just be political genius.</description>
