Luckily they caught it.

It was sent to a Republican Senator from Mississippi.

Really? You advocate the assassination of a sitting U.S. Senator? Or, more likely, some intern whose job it is to open mail?

While the sender was finding his recipe online, you'd think he might have looked up the anthrax mailing, and discovered the Congressional mail goes through screening, before it even gets near the office.

(I'm hoping that one reply was a badly made joke.)
