I think I should stop listening to NPR, it is scaring me way too much.

So, the house is trying to pass a bill where they can continue to meet in the event of a chemical or biological attack. Which, on the surface, seems like a good idea -- but then think about it for a little bit. They are trying to make it so that quorum can be established when some members of congress are not available after multiple requests. How could that happen? Very scary. If members of congress (as much as I disagree with them) can be removed, and quorum established -- the government has be wired for take over by the executive.

This is really scary.
