afore everyone gets all bent out of shape (again), check out
http://www.house.gov   (that's the house of representatives web site). and
you can do a Member Search by name for this congressman Tony Schnell ...
guess what? he don't exist. you get sent over to
http://wwws.house.gov/search97cgi/s97_cgi where it lists all sorts of
explanations about the false rumors/stories/whatever about such stuff, both
in the u.s. and in canada.

now, i ain't saying that i TRUST my gummint, but in this case, either the
story is false, or they're doing a lot better job of hiding it than they are
normally capable of. :)
