This is a popular topic over at the DU. They quote extensively from Rense.com. A reputable source! Ha!

A couple dozens Dummies got their panties in an uproar last week because Rense said that Bill Frist was introducing legislation mandating Democrats suffering from post-election anxiety be forcibly institutionalized and drugged. Nevermind that there was no record of such legislation, or that the House introduces legislation. One of their ilk actually sent an e-mail to Frist with angry language insisting that he would not be drugged. Good gosh, wouldn't it be a hoot to see some of the e-mails our representatives receive?

A rough talley of your DBs show that around 90% were 55 years old or older.

You're saying this is normal?

How come there isn't a Gaussian spread or some other distibution to their ages, if they're being 'kicked of' because of their activities?

Looks like age is the ONLY common factor here.

Thanks for the info!
