BREAKING from Homeland Security: Might be a MAJOR computer problem (wink)
According to recently discovered computer file intelligence, a so-called millennium bug could trigger worldwide computer chaos at the start of the year 2000, foiling stock markets, government payrolls and telephone bills -- and just about everything else involving computers.

People are urged to go about their business as NORMAL as your fearful, I mean, fearless leader Dim-Son scares people from coast to coast for a pre-convention bounce.
