Suspicious package cleared from Baucus office
Source: MSNBC

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Capitol Police gave an all-clear on Wednesday after investigating a suspicious package with a powdery substance that was found at the office of Sen. Max Baucus.

An Associated Press photographer at the scene, in the Hart Senate Office Building, heard officers say there was a threatening note with the package. Schneider would not confirm there was a note.

2. Would any of these creeps not expect things like this to happen?
...NOT that I'm advocating for stuff like this (but from today's readings, sounds like Dickhead Armey does) BUT...

They stand in the way of helping the American people...they pocket millions...they pander to "mega" corporations...and screw the citizens at every turn...while basically bragging about it in front of cameras!

Duh!

I'll bet it's nothing but if it is something I hope it's dog doo-doo! NO wait...that insults doggies...some other kind of doo-doo!

6. Why is it that only Dems are specifically targeted?
Every time something like this happens, whether it's real anthrax or fake, only Dems (or the scourges of the right-wing) are specifically targeted.

7. Perhaps it wasn't in unmarked, non-sequential bills this time?

8. hold on - weren't millions or billions spent 8 years ago to make this not a problem?
I thought all congressional mail now went through some sort of magical irradiation procedure and was sequestered for a certain period of time so that even if something like this happened it wouldn't be dangerous.
