I don't believe in coincidences. Here are two so-called coincidences -- neither of which is anything but a deliberate act of malicious behavior against the United States.
I do not believe these lost or stolen computer hard drives at our Los Alamos laboratory disappeared coincidentally during the confusion from a calamitous fire admittedly set by our own government!
What is more likely is that our government has been dangerously penetrated to the point where someone either set the fire with the intent to steal these valuable nuclear secrets or else used the fire as the distraction needed to steal these hard drives.
Now, you self-proclaimed objective, unbiased ladies and gentlemen of the news media think that dumbbell, Al Gore, should be president. Let me tell you this, if Gore gets in, expect the red Chinese army in your homes before his administration is up. How can the news media support such a stupid, incompetent inexperienced administration as the Clinton-Gore administration? The security of America and the lives of all Americans have been put in jeopardy and now the news media thinks Gore should be a president.
I just give up on newspapers and televised news. You people are getting as bad as Hollywood. I get more objective news off the Internet.
So, it's no coincidence that I leave you with this parting thought: You're backing a dead horse. You're going to lose your audience and your sponsors are going to notice a big decline in sales of their products. The Democrats had better get some different members. Or the Democrats are going to find out this fall, they will not have any winners in this election.
