Each of those savings and loans crooks that Bush pardoned was also from Texas. Go figure, eh?

Coincidence? SM
Gals do a google, type in the word failure, then hit I feel lucky. Try it, hurry up before they take it down. 
Coincidence or set up
Isn't anyone noticing that the person who is out promoting Rev Wright to get out to talk is one of Hillary's biggest supporters. This is not a coincidence. This is what I call Smear! I'm just disgusted with the whole "game".
No Coincidence
It's no coincidence that Jim Webb is from North Carolina, the #1 tobacco-producing state in the union. Who does he think he's kidding by claiming that all smokers are going to quit because of the tobacco taxes supporting SCHIP? "Who is going to pay for it if every smoker quits?" Give me a break.
The main objection to SCHIP is that SCHIP will impact the private insurance industry, which lines Congress's pockets along with the tobacco industry. SCHIP stands to displace private insurers by as much as 60%, and we sure don't want a better alternative to private insurance, do we? SCHIP offers better benefits at a lower cost than private insurance. Children who are forced to drop out of SCHIP cost states MORE money because they shift away from routine care and have to go to emergency rooms.

It's no coincidence that Jim Webb is from North Carolina, the #1 tobacco-producing state in the country. Who does he think he's kidding by claiming that smokers are going to "quit because of all the taxes they have to pay to keep these programs going?" "Who is going to pay for it if every smoker quits?" Give me a break, Jim.
The main objection to SCHIP comes from the private insurance companies who line Congress's pockets along with the tobacco industry. Private insurance companies stand to lose as much as 60% of their revenue with continued implementation of SCHIP. State SCHIP programs offer better benefits at a lower price than private insurance, and children who drop out of SCHIP cost states MORE money because they end up shifting away from routine preventative health care and are forced to use emergency rooms.
We sure don't want healthier children and better, lower-cost alternatives to private insurance, do we?
Strange coincidence.
What a coincidence! I don't know how many times I've been trolled on this board both then and now and had the happy little God bless you and have a nice day or have a wonderful weekend tacked onto the end - kind of jarring, and kind of person-specific. But who knows, could just be a strange coinky-dink. Actually, who cares:) We have stuff to discuss.
An Amazing Coincidence
(The link to the Hannity & Colmes interview referred to is http://www.911podcasts.com/files/video/FetzerHannityColmes200606222.wmv). I would definitely recommend watching this.
There are a lot of *coincidences* here, it would seem. 
Regardless of your position on this topic, you cannot help but admit that a major coincidence (at the very least) took place on the morning of June 23, 2006.
It all began on the evening of June 22, 2006, when Hannity & Colmes (on the FOX/RNC Channel) had a guest on by the name of Dr. James H. Fetzer (see endnote). Fetzer is a member of 9/11 Scholars for Truth. Due to some unexpected initial confusion on the part of the hosts regarding their chosen attack theme (they got their facts FOXED, as Fetzer said), Fetzer was given a rare opportunity to answer an open-ended question -- almost without interruption. As the lawyers all say, Never ask a witness any question to which you do not already know the answer.
Colmes asked Fetzer something to the effect, So can you give us one piece of evidence that would tend to point toward 9/11 being an inside job by the Bush Administration?
While Ollie North (who was guest hosting for Hannity) was apparently still lost in confusion, Fetzer had a rare opportunity to speak a few full sentences without hostile, obnoxious interruptions. He said (and I'm paraphrasing here again), I point you to Secretary of Transportation Norman Minetta's testimony before the 9/11 Commission. Minetta said he had encountered Vice President Cheney in a bunker in Washington, DC, at 9:20 AM, on the day of the attacks [forty-three minutes earlier than Cheney said he had arrived]. Every few seconds a young man would come into the room and say, 'Sir, it's 50 miles out. Sir, it's 40 miles out. Sir, it's 30 miles out,' and so on. Finally the young man asked the Vice President, 'Sir, do the orders still stand?' Cheney replied gruffly, 'Of course, the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?'
Fetzer went on to explain that only later did Minetta learn that the young man was referring to Flight 77 approaching Washington, DC, and the orders the young man was referring to were obviously orders NOT to shoot the plane down. That's why the young man had finally asked if the orders still stood, to which Cheney replied that they did. Shortly thereafter, Flight 77 (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) struck the Pentagon.
Obviously, the producers of the Hannity & Colmes Propaganda Hour had not anticipated such a damning bit of irrefutable evidence to escape over their airwaves to their glassy-eyed, drool-chinned audience.
Here's the Real Kicker... The very next morning, less than twelve hours after his 9/11 testimony had been unexpectedly exposed to the FOX faithful, Norman Minetta resigned as Secretary of Transportation.
What an unbelievably amazing coincidence of timing!
Just for the sake of argument, let's say Minetta's timing was truly nothing more than a coincidence. If so, then he couldn't have picked a worse time to announce it (unless it was his relatively subtle way of sending a message to the masses). Or, if he was forced to resign by Bush/Cheney (for whatever reason), they couldn't have picked a more self-incriminating time to make it happen.
There has been barely a peep about Minetta's resignation in the mainstream media. I saw the same, generic, non-informational, totally uncurious five-second clip about it several times, but there has been absolutely no speculation as to why he did it (although his recent back surgery is implied to be the main reason). That's incredibly unusual behavior for our babbling heads, isn't it? Other high-level resignations in the last few months from the Bush Administration were the subject of endless babble among the MSM elite.
A Final Thought I can only imagine the sudden conflicting thoughts of at least five out of every one hundred Fox viewers who had heard Fetzer mention Minetta's damning testimony just a few hours before Minetta resigned. What must they have been thinking for a short time before their self-hypnosis kicked back in?

Wow - talk about coincidence
DH & I watched this and they could be talking bout whats happening today.
Good clip - thanks for posting. Gotta go run to my window now :-)
Coincidence - people are manipulating the market
DH has been working in the stock market for close to 23 years now. He knows how it is manipulated. I used the same argument to him that whenever Obama appears on TV it goes up. He told me it has nothing to do with that (even though he supported him). He said remember back to the campaign and whenever John McCain was ahead a little in the polls or there was good coverage of him (whetever little there was) the stock market went up and when Obama was ahead in the polls or news the stock market went down. He has two computers. One he watches the market and the other computer he tracks the news all over the world, so he sees what affects and doesn't affect the market. He told me that it's just a coincidence with Obama in the news and the market on the rise because that is the way the media is making it look. He said there are literally thousands and thousands of bankers, investors etc (including overseas investors) that are pourind and dumping millions of dollars on different things to manipulate the market and that's what causes the ups and downs (of course DH takes 3 hours to explain this all to me), but that is it in a nutshell. He said just coincidence. - Darn!
