He might as well have gone next door with a fire extinguisher and fired it on Tancredo's head. Christ, hysterical, anyone?

I think the main point of the story is getting lost here. Common courtesy includes agreement to refrain from activities that might be annoying to neighbors, but it also dictates that the annoyed should politely express his grievance before calling the cops.

Interesting air condition in the Capitol… Depends how the stacks and returns were run. If you ever built'looked at house under construction, you see that ducts and returns are most definetly shared across rooms/floors with various dividers and so on to divert/manage flow. Given the buildings in DC are pretty old, I figure the duct work is probably retrofitted and thus even a bit crazier than normal. Assuming they ment ventsm, then I would bet on the returns being the culprit here. > Isn’t the idea behind vents to take used air out and fresh one in, not just transfering it from one room to another?

That's quite scandalous. Congressmen would be well adviced not to make this a public topic, like Tancredo did. The public climate in the US today is very much against smokers, he won't find much support for his cigar habbit. If I were him, I would have tried to get better air conditioning, without making much noise about it. “Congress routinely exempts itself from the rules and regulations it imposes upon us mere plebeians.”

In Hawaii, smokers aren't allowed to smoke if they are less than 21 feet outside of the next door or window. Is smoking in public buildings in DC really allowed? Must be about the last state in the union where this is so. Btw, what happened to all those nasty anti-smoke laws (dsiclaimer: I’m a smoker, I’m for regulations, but some laws go too far)?

Through the walls???
I already noticed that you in the US tend to build a bit lighter than we Europeans, but walls that can’t keep cogar smoke inside?
Does the Capitol have a severe termite problem?
