[Rainbowreflect]

Firefighters evacuated the Immigration and Naturalization Service building at Eighth and S streets Thursday morning after employees there found a white powdery substance in a letter.

Furasek said some people had been having "issues'' but couldn't say what sort of symptoms they were experiencing.

He also didn't know how many people had been taken to the hospital.

Most of the employees were taken to Richards Hall on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus but those in the closest proximity the letter were in a nearby parking garage.

1. Something to do with a chainsaw perhaps?

[Rainbowreflect]

5. I'm confused. What's a chainhaw?

[meganmonkey]

9. Did you see the picture of that chainsaw guy?

I saw it in the paper today...



(sorry, totally off-topic, but I needed an excuse to post it ;) )

11. I didn't.

Thanks. That's scary. Going for a Danzig look?

14. OMG, Bleachers.

You must read the link. It is scary-funny. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050608/ap_on_re_us/chain_saw_border_14

If they were type-casting a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, he'd be eliminated as being too cliche.

2. Did you know that somebody sent white powder to Feingold last week?

As far as I know, it was only reported on local WI news (that's where I heard it).

It turned out to be harmless, in case you were wondering.

20. Remember: After 9/11 Dashle & Dem's Rec'd Anthrax...

But not 1 Repuk, if I recall correctly.

Why would someone send Anthrax to Democrats, when most knew and still do that our Democrat leaders are basically against War, historically at that. Why?

Why no Repuks?

Wasn't it found through investigations that the Anthrax was made somewhere right here in the US of A at a military base... VA (?)

3. Funny how the anthrax scares are coming back

and coincide with bushCo's failing agenda and exposure as a liar

[shraby]

4. And the Patriot Act renewal push.

[acmejack]

6. Yeah, imagine that.

Distract and delay has been such a rewarding tactic for them.

[RaleighNCDUer]

19. Shouldn't 'delay' be capitalized? nt

[livetohike]

8. You're right and

"white powder" is so easy to get.....

Watch the suspected terrorism events pick up in the weeks to come.

[TheDebbieDee]

12. The return of Anthrax also coincides with many elected Dems

growing a pair!

[Up2Late]

13. Well, *'s Poll numbers ARE in the Crapper right now.

Time to GET Scared again.!
Hey, it's Mr. Yuck! Anyone remember him? From the 1970's?

7. White powder stikes again

What ever happened to the "anthrax mailer"? Vacationing with Osama?

"Furasek said some people had been having "issues'' but couldn't say what sort of symptoms they were experiencing."

Panic attacks and outrage would be my guess.

[uppityperson]

10. I have issues. Can I go home too? OMG-WHITE POWDER!!!

next to the coffee pot!!! Run away!!!!!!!!!!

[fooj]

16. "Vacationing with Osama"...LMAO!!!

:rofl:

17. Chemical Spill?

Was the chemical a "white powdery substance" that spilled into an envelope that employees found? And were bright enough to recognize it as a "chemical spill"? Awesome!!

[Rainbowreflect]

18. Well, hopefully the rain will wash away the white powder.

21. Updates today

Old deodorant culprit in chemical spill/white powder fright at Lincoln, NE INS building. BOO!
