Saw this on another board.


"WASHINGTON - The neighborly spirit has gone up in smoke on Capitol Hill, and leave it to Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo to be in the middle of the latest flare-up.

According to the congressional newspaper The Hill, freshman Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., called the cops one day last week to complain about the cigar smoke wafting out of Tancredo's office. Tancredo, R-Littleton, is known to enjoy his fine cigars. And now that the new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has banished smokers from the ornate lobby outside the House chamber, aficionados like Tancredo must go outside or retreat to their private offices when they want to light up."

Apparently if you see someone smoking in a restaurant here in Omaha you can call 911. WTF!?

Businesses that don't serve food are exempt in Omaha.
