SACRAMENTO - Anti-tobacco groups on Saturday protested Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's efforts to return the smoke-filled room to California's political lexicon.
To comply with the state's strict smoking laws, the cigar-loving Schwarzenegger is converting the Capitol's interior courtyard into an all-weather "smoking plaza" where he can entertain lawmakers and other power brokers.

Arnold needs to call some anti-tobacco activists to his office for a meeting... then light up a cigar and blow the smoke into their faces.

"Josh Grahek of Sonora stood upwind at a distance, close enough that the smoke from his cigar still wafted over the anti-tobacco activists. He carried a cardboard sign reading, "You have too much free time."LOL...AMEN...please save us from those who propose to save us from ourselves.

As far as I'm concerned he could stick it up his butt and blow the smoke out of his navel, just as long as he keeps it out of my face.

I tried one of those Perfexion Xs and it was too strong for me. Excellent construction, though.
I prefer the Macanudo Gold Label Duke of York in the 54 ring size. Much cheaper too.

South Park just had an episode on about the anti-smoking lobby. It was hysterical! Some anti-smoking weenies came to school and put on an assembly, and told kids if they didn't smoke, they could turn out like them. All the boys went out back and started smoking. They burned the school down, but only got in trouble for smoking. Guess you had to see it...
