Not too long ago, someone posted a request to send rice to the president
and Congressfolk, encouraging them to feed Iraq, not bomb it.
Apparently, there's another good reason to do it. Sen. Durbin (D-IL) had
his office shut down for an hour while an envelope of powder was dealt
with. It seems that the mail-screening systems that the government has put
into place are quite efficient at turning raw rice into white powder. So
one wonders if a mass protest of rice-mailing would result in a
Congressional shutdown...
