Hematite

Today's Seattle Times ran a feature on Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. His son Ben has been involved in corruption scandals, and the FBI recently raided Ted's home as part of some investigation involving fisheries and oil lobbyists. The very best part of this story comes in the article's second to last paragraph. Some of the flurry of bills passed before the Senate session concluded are full of topics loaded with irony.

Ted Stevens spent the week in Washington, D.C. On Thursday, he voted in favor of a Senate ethics-reform bill. On Friday, he sponsored a resolution to protect the Arctic waters from overfishing should global warming make harvest possible there.

Wow. In case you didn't get that,

he sponsored a resolution to protect the Arctic waters from overfishing should global warming make harvest possible there.

By the way, hematite is one type of iron ore. As with my other posts, all puns are intended. (lode-ed with iron-y...)
