		<description>DSW,

What happened to your readers?  Even the ones I agree with have gotten shrill and seem to lack any class and demeanor.  The ones I don&#039;t agree with have stepped into the gutter and spew nothing but invective. No need to identify which group is which, for they are both making a mockery of intelligent and civil discourse.  Your blog and the excellent information you provide command a much higher quality of expression in the comments section.  You should get delete those comments which provide evidence of the demise of our culture, and keep only those which are civil and decent, whether you agree with the comments or not.
You will likely attract more readers as a result.</description>

		<description>Interesting, the other county officials have all recently asked for Smith&#039;s removal.
 
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/10/28/20091028county1028.html

The article also says: Tim McGuire, an ethics professor at the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University, said Smith&#039;s request was &quot;nothing short of ridiculous.&quot; McGuire said the letter was &quot;silly and sophomoric&quot; and another example of &quot;the very odd government that seems to exist in Maricopa County.&quot;</description>

		<description>Legal Eagle
I was just pointing out that the days of guaranteed anonymous blogging are over.  Better to be careful what you say, because you just never know.

The sites and references are specific.  They know who they are looking for, they just aren&#039;t being specific in this letter.  Can&#039;t wait to see where this goes but I just wish it would all just stop.  I have my own bills to pay, I&#039;m sick of paying for their infighting.</description>

		<description>Jason - the charges were dropped for strategic reasons.  They are waiting for a ruling from the appeals court on the misdemeanors before reinstating the first batch of charges.  Once they get a special prosecutor, the second batch will also move forward.  It&#039;s far from over.</description>
