Wish of the day

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

As hurricane Dennis blows by us, headed north, I can't help but wish it would head into DEE CEE and rip the roof off of Koskinen's house and see if he could put HIS world back together in 3 days. Just listened to his usual line (one can almost spout it verbatum before he ever opens his mouth). I hope someone in his area has a big tree and a strong rope come January!! Wonder if he will have that pompous grin on his face as he swings in the wind?

Taz.... who is so doubtful of the gov't these days, that its really becoming hard to believe ANYTHING the gov't says.

I agree Taz...do you ever go to the cnn y2k forum? I have been looking there for the past year...in the past month, there are more and more people who say they are stocking up "just in case".... always before there was mostly snide, mocking comments about the y2k "nuts". Personally, I don't believe Wolfe believed everything Koskinen had to say....wish he had more time to take calls from people with questions.

Taz, you really need to start saying "gubmint", otherwise Y2K Pro, Doomsuck and Bonkerson get very upset. (And wearing a tinfoil hat doesn't hurt either!)

My God Taz, surely you aren't 'promoting' lynch mob mentality and the murder of government officials, are you?

I have rope, and if it's a calm day, I have a battery operated fan so we can enjoy good twist factor!

If y2k winds up being as serious as many believe, I would not want to be a politician. These folks will NEVER be able to come out of their bunkers !!

You folks should be ashasmed of yourselves. K doesn't lie any more than most of the politicians, lawyers, agribiz representatives, government controlled education administrators or hmo spokespeople that I hear in the media these days.

I should add, though, after hearing him on cnn (realaudio, no picture) , he sure sounded NERVOUS.

So Alexi, the fact that he doesn't lie anymore than the rest is justification?

He lies and if people die.

He should swing.

So should most of the rest.

Whenever I mention Koskinen in NW OH, people have no idea who he is.

And they don't care, either. Just like Y2K.

I'm in SW OH, & it's the same thing down here.
