Evidently, we need a more organized and accurate assault. This
lone-nut approach is getting tiresome.

He does get points for creativity, though -- who would think of shooting
wildly on your way through the metal detectors? -rt

Yeah, nuke the caitol from orbit -- it's the only way to be sure.

This one-nut-at-a-time deal is starting to get old... I would reccommend a
more creative assault with multiple nutcases... (In seperate bodies) ;>

Hmm. If they were willing to cooperate with each other, they wouldn't
be nutcases, right?

More seriously (I'm not sure seriousness is allowed, but what the
hey), one of the things that Rep. DeLay and the capitol police and
others were worried about was whether there would be more than one
person. So things were pretty tense for the people in DeLay's office
until they found out that it was only one, and that he had been
subdued.

I don't usually follow the nutcase-du-jour news story, but it is a
little hard to avoid getting a few snippets here and there when I'm
listening to things like CSPAN radio.
