NIAGARA FALLS — The "Slaughter Solution" on health care isn't the only thing that has come under attack in U.S. Rep. Louise M. Slaughter's world this week. Sometime early this morning, someone threw a brick through the front window of her Pine Avenue office.

The damage was discovered about 12:30 a.m., city police said.

The brick put a hole in the outer-most window at the office at 1910 Pine Ave., but did not damage a second interior window, police reported. A piece of broken brick believed to have caused the damage was found at the scene.

Damage was estimated at $350.

Slaughter, D-Fairport, is head of the House Rules Committee, which will structure the debate on health care reform votes set for this weekend.

Some may call it a brick. I believe it was a strongly worded letter.

I love that we are probably the only people who would think that economic joke is funny.

Why don't we start throwing bad politicians through windows rather than bricks?

Glad to see some in here getting the subtle joke. For those that don't, look up the broken window fallacy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_window_fallacy
