See this report from Helena, Montana. It begins: “A New York congressman asks, is Conrad Burns really a person? So says Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y., who has drafted tongue-in-cheek legislation called the B.U.R.N.S. Act, which would have the effect of excluding Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., from counting as a ‘person’ in state population totals that the government uses to divvy up the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.” Thanks to Jeff Wice for the pointer. My earlier coverage of the (more serious) Burns proposal is here.
