was one of 10 to vote against Head Start, one of four to vote against
banning plastic weapons that can pass through metal detectors.

Plastic weapons? Did he really say that? I can't believe that nonsense is
still floating around. At least with current technology, a gun still needs
metal to surround the round in the chamber, even if the rest of the thing is
made of a composite material. Was Edwards referring to plastic eating
utensils? :-)
