But, congress is such an introspective gathering of strong-minded individuals

I was taught that the spelling was "tic". Maybe that was because my grandfather had a clock factory.

Oh, be nice. Please don't call Patrick Warburton or Peter Serafinowicz a "blood-sucking nightmare." You might make them feel blue.

Spooooooon!

Poly means many. A tick is a blood-sucking insect.
Put them together and you have politics.

Send them to ...uh, never mind. Carry on.

They had a real problem when they attempted to inventory their collection. As soon as someone went "tick, tick, tick", the staff would evacuate the building.

These people are more active than you would think. Here is some information on what I believe to be one of their projects:

I hate it when
people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple
times unintentionally but this one is real, and it's
important.

Please send this
warning to everyone on your e- mail list.

If someone comes to
your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm
weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with
your arms up,
DO NOT DO IT!! THIS
IS A SCAM!!
They only want to
see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten
this yesterday. I feel so stupid.
