According to our Commander in Thief....., ehhhh hehhh hemmmm...., I mean Chief, It's all " wild speculation." He used those words today when referring to the article that ran some renowned rag this weekend.
Oddly enough, "wild speculation" doesn't mean something isn't true. A lot of people have made their fortunes speculating. In a couple of months we'll probably see "wild speculation" going down in the annals of history, right beside "weapons of mass destruction." Let's hope not.
