Who's Sorry Now?
You know about "send a brick to Congress" campaign that's all over the web and talk radio? Supposed to be a message about building a wall on the border with Mexico? (Hey, what about Canada? Isn't that where some Al-Qaeda guys got caught awhile back?)

Kirsten Heffron, a spokeswoman for the project, said bricks bring a more concrete message than letters or e-mails. "You can't delete a brick; you can't shred a brick," said the 25-year-old Heffron, who formerly worked for the National Right to Work Committee before becoming a stay-at-home mom in Virginia. "That brick is going to sit there as a reminder." Learn more here
