Nothing on the wires yet, but about 20 minutes ago, they announced protestors, one in particular got rowdy, police, FBI, closed the Capitol, so no one can get in or out. Some guy was freaking and ducttaped himself. Thats all they said.

My connection to FR is like eating mashed potatoes through a straw, and I have a 256 ADSL connection.

I have a television on top of my desk where I FReep. I'll be monitoring FOX News because that's my favorite, and I know almost everyone's name.

I'm retired, so I can do this.

For his protection, I hope they duck tape him securely head to toe before dislodging him. ; )

Capitol shut down. How wonderful!Now the Senate can thrash out the filibuster with no excuses.
I LOVE IT!!!

Grandpa Dave already has duct-taped Daschle, so I guess it's public domain, Mo!

[EggsAckley]

Geeez! I haven't see the picture of KSM uncropped! Look at him holding up his gut!

"Depends on whether you're bald or not."

...Or on how badly you want to BECOME bald...

[Slip18]

". . .a judicious application of vegetable oil to the sticky side of the tape will enable you to remove the tape without also removing your skin and hair."

Do you do this often?

"Poor Senator Daschle...he needs some mental help, really."

I don't think it was Senator Daschle who duct-taped himself to the Capitol.

My understanding was that some man duct-taped himself.

[chs68]

Helen Thomas and KSM siblings?

I hardly think so.

KSM is, according to news repors, a mere 37 years old.

Helen Thomas is somewhat older than dirt.

It is more likely that KSM is the son (or even grandson) of some ungodly union of Helen and some camel or other beast of the desert.

"Hopefully he has lots of body hair and they peel it off slooooowly"

Well, if it's a protestor with body hair it must be a female... :-)

Suspicious Protester Wraps Himself In Duct Tape

POSTED: 2:29 p.m. EST March 6, 2003
UPDATED: 2:45 p.m. EST March 6, 2003

WASHINGTON -- Parts of the U.S. Capitol were closed off Thursday afternoon because of a suspicious protester.

News4 has learned a person wearing long white robes was in the area of the first floor of the Capitol and was holding some type of protest.

Witnesses said the man was wrapping himself in duct tape and talking about why the United States should not engage in a conflict with Iraq.

The middle portion of the Capitol was closed off on all floors, but the building was not evacuated.

The man was taken into custody and the building has since reopened. Investigators said the man had nothing dangerous.

ROTFLOL!! Even after dropping out of sight three months ago, AlGore is STILL voted "Most Likely To Freak Out With Duct Tape and Shut Down The Capitol Building"

Man Sues Tom Ridge Over Ductape to Privates...(A MUST READ!!!!)

Man Sues Tom Ridge Over Duct Tape Fears

Corona, CA - Tom Ridge's advice to Americans to stock up on duct tape and plastic has sparked a lawsuit which has been filed against him, the Department of Homeland Security and President George W. Bush.

Steven J. Bosell, the owner of B & B Construction in Corona, California, has filed a lawsuit claiming emotional distress, personal injury and sexual dysfunction after he wrapped his "privates" in duct tape to protect them from a biological attack.

"After watching Mr. Ridge on television advising us to stock up on duct tape and plastic, I went to the local Costco and bought $100 worth of duct tape to protect myself", Bosell said. "When I got home, I taped up my windows and doors. After I did that I realized if survivors like myself are going to reproduce and populate the Earth after a biological attack, we have to protect our privates as well."

Bosell claimed in his lawsuit he wrapped his "privates" in duct tape as test of "Homeland Security". When he tried to remove the tape, Bosell injured himself when the tape began peeling off skin and body hair. After calling an ambulance, Bosell was taken to the hospital where the doctors and nurses laughed at him.

"I told the doctors and nurses at the hospital if they laughed, I would file a lawsuit against them and the hospital. They laughed anyways and I now have another lawsuit pending" Bosell said with tears streaming down his face. "They went out their way to make me look like a fool. Once I saw the doctors scalpel go toward my privates, I totally lost it and blacked out".

Also named in the lawsuit is the President of the United States, George W. Bush. "President Bush is just as liable for injury to my reproductive future because he hired Mr. Ridge to run the Department of Homeland Security and Mr. Ridge gave the nation bad advice. They also make me look like a fool." Bosell sobbed.

The Department of Homeland Security and the Bush Administration have no comment on Mr. Bosell's lawsuit.
