Whoever sent that has to be ---> :smilielol: <--- about now. I'm sure this reaction has to be 10 times better results than they ever dreamed! :lol:

One of Rep. John Boehner's local offices was evacuated Monday afternoon after a suspicious package arrived in the mail.

Message On Pork Barrel Spending Causes Big Scare

Staffers received the letter from Georgia by U.S. mail. After noticing it was leaking an oily substance, they called the Capitol police in Washington, who advised them to evacuate as a precaution and call in local authorities.

Multiple police agencies responded to the Republican congressman's West Chester office and began an investigation.

After an X-ray analysis, investigators determined the package contained bacon.

Boehner voted twice last week for a $700 billion bailout of the financial industry, which passed Friday and was signed into law by President George W. Bush.

Some critics have charged that the legislation contained unnecessary giveaways, which are sometimes referred to as "pork barrel" spending.

A spokeswoman said it's ironic someone would send Boehner bacon because he has spent his career fighting pork barrel spending.

No injuries were reported, and the incident remains under investigation. A note found in the package with the bacon was not disclosed by authorities.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
