"Today Americans would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing that every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government." - Henry Kissinger, speaking before a Bilderburg conference in Evian, France May 21, 1992

"Polls show that, in terms of public trust, the news media now rank lower than used-car salespeople, kidnappers, tapeworms, Hitler, and airline flight announcements. (We [in the press] are still slightly ahead of lawyers.) Of course, these poll results were reported by the news media, so they could be wrong. In fact, there might not actually have been any polls; it's possible that some reporter made the whole 'media credibility' story up." - Dave Barry

So sorry, I announced moyang is September winner when, in fact, moyang and fibsman are tied for first place!  Didn't realize fibsman took 6 points today until I began my calculations on paper.  Sorry.    

We have previously established there will be a 3 pt playoff in case of monthly tie for 1st place only, so moyang and fibsman will need to get together for the 3 pt playoff.
