I saw this doomsday hysteria on the front page of one of those ridiculous 'rags' at the supermarket. I think it was the same paper that showed a picture a few months ago of cats living on Venus. LoL

Wasn't it one of those 'rags' that broke the Clinton/Lewinski story?

Alledgedly Clinton is close friends with the owner of the rag.

Clinton's goal was to diffuse the rumors by having it reported in a 'rag.' "It can't be true I read it in the tabloid, next to the batboy story."

If the oil story is true, a good way to diffuse panic would be to report it in a tabloid.

Just a thought.

I saw the cover as well last week at a supermarket. It's not "The National Enquirer" which is what you are thinking of, Bear. Believe it or not, this tabloid is actually several steps below the "The Enquirer" when it comes to credibility (the name escapes me, "News of the World"?).

This tabloid has had some hilarious stories over the years. They had a "photo" of Rush meeting with space aliens to receive their endorsement for a presidential run. They had a cover story about Bill'n'Hill adopting an alien baby. Their recent "oil" story had a fake photo of desperate mobs around oil derricks. A real hoot.
