    ... the US House of Representatives is a terrorist threat. They've done nothing but bend over for the Bush regime for years now, and I call that aiding and abetting. So there!

    This is clearly a hoax. I read the bill, and it says "terrorist" and not "terrrrrrrist". This definitely isn't the work of the American government. Quick, pull the other one.

    proof the "silly season" is well underway.

    TERRORISTS are a terrorist threat, thank you.

    the Internet is just another tool, like the athletic shoe, the water bottle, the jet airplane, the hanging chads in Florida, etc etc. at some point, wacko bin loonies found that out.

    since Congress can't tell the difference, it appears the terrorists have won based on superior intellect.

    or, perhaps, if Congress decided to start a farm, they'd die in spectacular accidents the first time they tried to milk the bulls....
