Oh great. It's cocaine. Cindy Sheehan and her well aged hippie friends must be back for the holidays.

Have you heard anything further?
I can't seem to find anything on the website you provided nor on google news yet.

Anthrax isn't a white powder.

They've been peddling 'mysterious white powder' outside a house down the street from me for over a year now and we can't even get the sheriff to drive past.

KVUE TV news:
Suspicious substance found at post office
12:09 AM CST on Thursday, November 17, 2005
By KEVIN PETERS / KVUE
Northeast Austin's main post office has been evacuated after a white substance was found on a sorting machine. The post office evacuation occurred Wednesday evening after a postal employee found the suspicious substance.
Preliminary tests conducted by the fire department showed that the substance contains proteins that can be a sign of biological agents.
More testing is needed to determine whether or not the substance is dangerous.
Crews at the fire department classify the evacuation and testing as weapons of mass destruction response.

More testing is needed to determine whether or not the substance is dangerous. Offer to let a guy off death row if he will lick it and tell us what it tastes like.

After the Prop. 2 vote, I'll add to your list "the decadent county". What was Prop. 2?

Prop. 2 was the Traditional Marriage Amendment that passed statewide 76-24% but lost in Travis County 40-60%.
This powder is likely another false alarm, but you never know if some Eric Rudolph-type nutcase thinks it's somehow justified to send something more dangerous.

After a complete field analysis, the FBI determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line. LOL. That's gonna leave an *ouch* mark somewhere!

It's a tradition around here this time of year. If you could see the 'Announcments' from the Ohio list as I long in (not each day, each time!) it's just one after another. ;)
All in fun of course, the rest of the year there are very few jokes, but it's always "That state up north". lol
It's always a good game and despite the rankings, you can NEVER count on the outcome. The teams just fire up for it and anythign can happen.
