but the National Weather Service said
the closest lightning strike in the area was hundreds of miles away,
in Maryland.

But....the president repeated that rumor. It must be true. The lightning was
purchased secretly on the international arms market. From Africa.


In the unlikely event that it *was* a terrorist attack, we'd be smart to blame
it on lightning. Take away the credit for the disaster, and the air is let out
of the terrorist balloon double quick.

You want to P off the terrorists? Make sure they stay out of the news.
