		<description>West Wing not only had a minority president elected, but there&#039;s another strange coincidence. Not exact, but it goes pretty much near. Leo Mcgarry dies on the day of the election, Santos was hit by a drama. Obama&#039;s mother died one day before the election.</description>

		<description>In fact most people believe that SOMETHING was covered up about 9/11.  I&#039;d like to point out one point of interest:  Building 7, which was hit by debris and had a fire in it, fell STRAIGHT DOWN like a controlled demolition. Look at pictures of the Oklahoma City Bombing, and wonder how that building didn&#039;t fall, but a steel building with a fire in it collapsed in 7 seconds...Anyone have evidence of steel buildings collapsing from fire besides the 3 on 9/11?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s funny how the writer intones, (Despite the conspiracy theories, most people don’t blame this on the U.S. Government) Yet, Actually a recent Gallup poll that was dismissed by the Obama White House staff as &quot;inaccurate&quot;, showed that 59% of Americans do NOT believe the &quot;Official&quot; story and DO think the US Goverment was involved in some way. A Whopping 79% of Canadiens feel the same...</description>

		<description>Star Trek Predictions that did come though:

Kirk&#039;s Communicator = Today&#039;s Cell Phone.

McCoy&#039;s Instruments = CAT Scan, etc.

Transporter = albeit only two poor little photons have made the 3 ft trip, so far.

Spock&#039;s computer memory chips = 3.5 Inch disks, or Cd&#039;s - take your pick.

Tricorder = primistive ones today can to temp, humidity, air pressure, infrared, and various other measurements.  Then too the tricorder was a portable computer, otherwise known as a laptop. 

Phaser = US army woking on an eletrical / light beam assault weapon similar.  Then there are the infamous and dangerous tasers...

Romulan Invisibility Cloak = being worked on today, even a sound cloak is being worked on, although this should by attributer to Larry Niven (?) and his cones of silence...

Shields = electronic electromagnetic shields are being worked on now for the proposed Mars mission, although they will not stop a photon torpedo, or move a comet - yet.</description>

		<description>Just waiting to see if Demolition Man&#039;s prediction of Schwarzenegger as president comes true. With the new congress I can totally see them amending the constitution to allow it. He is incredibly popular as a governor.</description>
