OK, I admit. That made me laugh. I needed that to. Thanks

Hmm, did they ring a bell to declare the old senate dead?

Bill Clinton is smoking in the boys room again....

Yea , but he's not inhaling ...

You know what surprises me? Why is there not more coverage of a possible fire in the Library of Congress? You would think there would be... Who knows with the media today though.

they are too busy talkn about the az shooting and how bad fox and palin are lmao!

I went and checked the @dcfireems site and didn't see anything on the Library of Congress fire. I did see multiple tweets about the aide that got burned up in her SUV though. Would they have pulled the LOC info?

So, there isn't a fire?
At least not a fire that completely destroyed our Library of Congress?

That's what I presumed from the OP.

Of course, if I actually looked up every time someone yelled, "THE SKY IS FALLING!"...
I'd have a a sore, worn-out, broke neck.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Part of the Library of Congress complex in Washington is being evacuated for the smell of smoke in the ventilation system.

A library spokesman says the Madison Building on Capitol Hill was evacuated Wednesday afternoon about 4 p.m. An investigation was expected to take about 45 minutes.

D.C. fire department spokesman Pete Piringer says smoke was initially reported on the sixth floor. A burning odor was reported on other floors. Piringer says firefighters believe they have traced the smoke to an air handling unit.

Here's the entire story.
Notice the air handler part.
