With all of the "punish the evildoers amongst us" and the "Improving
Security by making it illegal" raving in congress, this came to mind...
"The Congressional Definition of the Strength of a Firewall is how many
times you can march the citizenry in front of it for summary execution
before it crumbles."
You may now go back to the regularly scheduled panic.

Ah, you have cleverly rewritten the standard definition:
The Definition of the Strength of a Firewall is how many
politicians one can put in front of it for summary execution
before it crumbles.
McCain, Kerrey, Hollings, et. al. are guilty of treason and should be put
in front of that firewall forthwith.
(As a free citizen, I am free to say that any particular person has
committed crimes deserving of execution. Despite what pseudo-lawyers often
claim. I have never said I plan to kill McCain or Kerrey. An important
difference. But they will surely pay for their crimes. Congress and
Washington need a taste of their own vile medicine.)

You forgot Feinstien. (I know... You are trying to...)

Who said anything about wanting to kill them? A diced jalapeneo enema
will not kill them. (Actually I am not sure of that. We will have to run
a test... The debug process could take some time... ]:> )
