Oops, I guess the stop button didn't work in time. I should really pay more attention.

Yeah. Usually going to the front page to check when you're not sure works. :)

I think you linked to the wrong story here. The link goes to a story about a lawyer dying. It's just an obituary.

Did you have a point?

I think the point was that since this was a lawyer that worked with the impeachment, his passing would make for an interesting Conspiracy piece. Who's to say he wasn't poisoned by the govt. or something weird like that?

Just my view on the meaning of the post.

Yes, but that's just MY point. I happen to like conspiracy theories very much. But the link only talks about how the guy died naturally.

Where are the MJ12 references? How does this relate to the recent sightings of Dillenger? Where was Hillary when this happened? Why the cover up? Is it true this guy was actually Nixon's half brother?

Too many questions left unanswered.

Considering that hard-line Republicans love to email around a list of some 50 people affiliated with the Clintons that have supposedly met untimely demises ("Can these *all* be just coincidences?" the email asks), why shouldn't hard-line Democrats question whether the GOP would have Clinton supporters killed?

Personally I think they're all crazy.

Actually, Dave, I think that this death will be added to the list of Clinton's murder victims. You see, he knew too much ...

The Urban Legends References Pages went through the Clinton body count list. I think you can guess what they determined.

Ruff's death hit FR mere moments later. The "where was Hillary?" questions were dutifully asked. They also linked to an obscure story about a soldier in KFOR committing suicide and found good reason to lay that at Clinton's feet as well. Because, well, with a Clinton in office, every death is suspect.

A hundred years from now, the conspiracy theorists will point and whisper: "you see, everyone who ever knew Clinton -- all dead now. Coincidence? I think not."
