I dont follow politics or hidden agenda's too closely, so Im curious, does anyone have any idea why this would happen in NY and not anywhere else? I know it was an isolated event, but NY has a pretty dense population no?

I am pretty sure it happened in more places than NY. I think I read on here it was in PA and somewhere else maybe...

BS is right on the money for this one. Especially since the 's' is the second key from the left on the second row and the 'b' is in the middle of the bottom row. I think someone had a brain scramble on that one and got their stories mixed up. Unless, of course, we have a presidential candidate that is now somehow instantly related to the most wanted terror leader on the planet. Wouldnt that be scandalous.

Well, Obama is Cheney's 13th cousin or something like that, so he is related to one of the terror leaders on the planet, imo.
