Here at &lt;a href="http://smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com/"&gt;Smoke Cocktail&lt;/a&gt; what Mr. Moran has done is known as fart chasing.  Mr. Moran and Mr. Morrissey seem to enjoy chasing farts while searching for that elusive turd so they can hammer it and smear crap on Ron Paul.

Sometimes that site is a just like a &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/"&gt;fart machine online&lt;/a&gt;.  They definitely have the &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2007/10/27/ron-pauls-campaign-paid-conspiracy-nut-alex-jones-1300/"&gt;highest fart rate&lt;/a&gt; of any website I can think of.  ALLAHFARTCHASER might as well be renamed FART HAMMER for the way he/she &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2007/10/27/ron-pauls-campaign-paid-conspiracy-nut-alex-jones-1300/"&gt;sniffs out farts and hammers them to create a fart spray&lt;/a&gt;.  Other fart sniffers then trap that fart spray in a bottle or jar so they can release that &lt;a href="http://smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com/"&gt;fart in the face&lt;/a&gt; of other people who must like to have their face farted in.  Notice in the comment section (fart list) that the Fartbomb fart-chasers even delve into the topic of &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2007/10/27/ron-pauls-campaign-paid-conspiracy-nut-alex-jones-1300/#comment-754438"&gt;baby farts&lt;/a&gt;.

Now it appears as if 10Questions.com is trying to &lt;a href="http://www.marijuana.com/marijuana-mashup/83350-make-republican-presidential-candidates-address-medical-marijuana.html"&gt;take the issue a step further&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Make_the_Republican_Presidential_Candidates_Address_Medical_Marijuana"&gt;raise awareness as to actually get a response from the circus&lt;/a&gt;.  I will say that I don't think medical marijuana should even be THE issue.  The government doesn't have the right to criminalize a plant or the people who consume it, period.  I am not a product of the federal, state or local government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turkey is &lt;a href="http://voanews.com/english/2007-10-27-voa4.cfm"&gt;accusing the European Union of harboring terrorists&lt;/a&gt;.

The sock, complete with tire mark, &lt;a href="http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=235793410&amp;amp;p=z35794yy6"&gt;went for $1,000 on EBay&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States reportedly &lt;a href="http://www.news.com/Report-U.S.-tops-list-of-spam-offending-countries/2100-1029_3-6215444.html?tag=ne.fd.mnbc"&gt;tops the list of SPAM countries&lt;/a&gt;, by a wide margin.  It's not all from &lt;a href="http://ronpaul2008.com/"&gt;Ron Paul&lt;/a&gt; fans.  Many "spammers" are suspected to be CIA stooges out gathering email addresses, zip codes and birthdates for the &lt;a href="http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=2959"&gt;Total Information Awareness database&lt;/a&gt;.  Much of this may be done by "the machine" without using actual human spammers.  Yes, the Internet clogs its own tubes.  Other SPAM rackets are rumored to be run by organized crime syndicates, which these days may consist of a few pimply-faced teenagers or a room full of Russian-Israeli mobsters.

It didn't go very well.  Mick Huckabee and &lt;a href="http://ronpaul2008.com/"&gt;Ron Paul&lt;/a&gt; each got about 4% of the vote, maybe.  &lt;a href="http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=55091&amp;amp;section=news"&gt;Party officials would not say&lt;/a&gt; how many people participated nor how many votes each candidate received so the results Minot be accurate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John McCain is so desperate for campaign cash and attention that he's &lt;a href="http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2007/10/27/news/politics/12_31_1910_26_07.txt"&gt;appealing for it in the worst way&lt;/a&gt;.  McCain said, "I wasn't there. I'm sure it was a cultural and pharmaceutical event. I ... was tied up at the time."  Now the campaign is using that line in commercials.  Of course torture is bad, but ya don't run 23 bombing missions over a country and expect to get tickled when ya get caught.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite being older than time itself, &lt;a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7378690"&gt;Vinny Testaverde is still playing football&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Fantasy Football squad got off to a terrible 0-5 start but has bounced back with two consecutive victories.  This week I face LaDainian Tomlinson and Steve Smith, well, the team that has those guys anyway.  I hope my running backs have a bright week with LenDale White and Brandon Jacobs starting and Reggie Bush as my flex.  All three have favorable matchups on paper.  I think I'm going to go with Drew Brees over Eli Manning at quarterback and I have the Green Bay Packers slated as my starting defense.  Todd Heap is my usual tight end but he's on a bye week so I am going with Eric Johnson from the Saints.  My kicker is Robbie Gould but I'll have to snag someone else as he's on a bye next week.  I might have too many wide receivers on my team; Hines Ward, Brandon Marshall, Marques Colston, Antwaan Randle El and Ted Ginn.  All of them rank in my Top 10 favorite players though, so they get kept.  I can only start two this week because I'm using a running back, Reggie Bush, at my flex position.  I think I'm going to go with Hines Ward and Brandon Marshall while benching Colston for the first time this season.  Colston helped propel me into the playoffs last year but has been a disappointment this year after snagging him in the 5th round.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/895984988502416401-479638661335078907?l=smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com/feeds/479638661335078907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=895984988502416401&amp;postID=479638661335078907' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/895984988502416401/posts/default/479638661335078907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/895984988502416401/posts/default/479638661335078907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com/2007/10/north-dakota-republican-party-hides.html' title='North Dakota Republican Party hides straw poll vote totals,  should I start Brees or Manning?'/><author><name>John Nonconformist</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895984988502416401.post-1176520893198926533</id><published>2007-10-26T17:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-26T17:58:21.827-07:00</updated><title type='text'>FEMA fakes a press conference.

Now first-lady Laura Bush has made a trip to the Middle East to &lt;a href="http://www.voanews.com/english/2007-10-23-voa52.cfm"&gt;raise awareness about breast cancer&lt;/a&gt; in women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Since 1991 the number of children born with birth deformities has quadrupled," said Dr. Janan Hassan, who runs a children's clinic at a hospital in Basra in southern Iraq. "The same is the case for the number of children under 15 who are diagnosed with cancer. Mostly, it is leukemia. Almost 80 percent of the children die because we neither have medicine nor the possibility to give them chemotherapy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doctors have also recorded an extreme rise in cancer cases among adults. "In 2004 we diagnosed 25 percent more cancer cases than the year before and the mortality rate increased eight-fold between 1988 and 1991," said Dr. Jawad al-Ali of the Sadr Hospital in Basra.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/895984988502416401-500116932567980476?l=smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com/feeds/500116932567980476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=895984988502416401&amp;postID=500116932567980476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/895984988502416401/posts/default/500116932567980476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/895984988502416401/posts/default/500116932567980476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com/2007/10/cancer-rates-rise-in-iraq-due-to-wars.html' title='Cancer rates rise in Iraq due to wars, Laura Bush goes over to raise awareness about it'/><author><name>John Nonconformist</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895984988502416401.post-5666733164910662984</id><published>2007-10-24T09:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T01:52:08.359-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='san diego'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ron paul'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chili pepper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boston red sox'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bhutto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='propaganda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pervez'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='marijuana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fox news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communist red state china'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colorado rockies'/><title type='text'>Communist China bans talk of U.S. presidential frontrunner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QM9XRr8HxgQ/Rx9oSiFCk6I/AAAAAAAAAB0/6hLXwoVoA8M/s1600-h/ortizchick.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124929568565793698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QM9XRr8HxgQ/Rx9oSiFCk6I/AAAAAAAAAB0/6hLXwoVoA8M/s400/ortizchick.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;A relatively scandalous topic of late has been the banishment by &lt;a href="http://www.redstate.com/blogs/leon_h_wolf/2007/oct/22/attention_ron_paul_supporters_life_is_really_not_fair"&gt;Communist China&lt;/a&gt; of any talk about a certain &lt;a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/10/ron-paul-on-mar.html"&gt;U.S. presidential frontrunner&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The &lt;a href="http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=bos"&gt;Boston Red Sox&lt;/a&gt; and Colorado Rockies are about to square off in the World Series and end the daily suffering of housewives across America until next spring.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Oh yeah, &lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1674976,00.html"&gt;San Diego is on fire&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks like Pervez is still trying to get &lt;a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jIE0IUn4WIiaMBpjG8SI_6H5RXzg"&gt;some of that Bhutto&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,304658,00.html"&gt;Fox News is spinning&lt;/a&gt; again.

Be your own good role model.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/895984988502416401-11955026613564857?l=smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com/feeds/11955026613564857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=895984988502416401&amp;postID=11955026613564857' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/895984988502416401/posts/default/11955026613564857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/895984988502416401/posts/default/11955026613564857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smoke-cocktail.blogspot.com/2007/10/politics-terrorism-and-gayness.html' title='Politics, Terrorism and Gayness'/><author><name>John Nonconformist</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895984988502416401.post-8136732216518337010</id><published>2007-10-23T06:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T01:52:09.209-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kid rock'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jesus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yodeling in valley'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='waffle house'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='atlanta'/><title type='text'>Kid Rock brawls in Waffle House after performing "Jesus"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QM9XRr8HxgQ/Rx32RyFCk2I/AAAAAAAAABQ/A2c_LRcZNEE/s1600-h/KidRockPamAnderson.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124522736378614626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QM9XRr8HxgQ/Rx32RyFCk2I/AAAAAAAAABQ/A2c_LRcZNEE/s400/KidRockPamAnderson.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kid Rock, known for getting with shape-shifter Pamela Anderson and for his hit song &lt;a href="http://www.lyricsfreak.com/k/kid+rock/paid_20078157.html"&gt;Yodeling in the Biggest and Dirtiest of Valley's&lt;/a&gt;, was &lt;a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2007/10/22/kid-rock-shuns-ihop-gets-arrested-in-waffle-house-brawl/"&gt;arrested for brawling in an Atlanta-area Waffle House&lt;/a&gt;.
