Fuck them. Fuck Swinestein, Klinton, Gingrich, and all the rest. And fuck Dole. (On second thought, don't--it might not be a survivable experience.)
Unsurvivable for which party?
I say they've all earned only our contempt.
A long time ago.
It's time to accelerate our efforts to undermine this foolish experiment in pandering to the masses.
Tell us how o' wise one.

Buy a section of metal water pipe 1/2 by 6 inches long, threaded on both ends. Buy two metal caps to fit. These are standard items in hardware stores. Drill a 1/16th hole in the center of the pipe. This is easy with a good drill bit. Hanson is a good brand to use. Screw a metal cap tightly on one end. Fill the pipe to within 1/2 inch of the top with black powder. Do not pack the powder. Don't even tap the bottom of the pipe to make it settle. You want the powder loose. For maximum explosive effect, you need dry, fine powder sitting loose in a very rigid container.
What about fusing? Mechinical detonation with a shotgun shell, or electrical with a model rocket engine? Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com <prefered for any non-list stuff> snow@smoke.suba.com
