Jan. 8, 2007, 8:11 p.m.While in Washington, recently, I was aware of a foul smell emanating from the White House. However, It is impossible for Dumbya to have been in all three places mentioned in the article at the same time.

Jan. 9, 2007, 5:56 p.m.I think it's pretty simple. The Rodeo and Bull Riding Championships were in Madison Square Garden this past weekend. If the animals got here in the middle of last week, just figure how much manure all the horses and bulls produced in four days. A cow produces 25 lbs per day on average. Figure in they had to store it all for those days and then ship it out on Monday when they left. I'm sure they sold it to a manure factory. So when the truck (or trucks) with manure left for the tunnel or GW bridge, the Methane gas from the decomposing manure is what escaped into the air. The low cloud cover that morning didn't allow the gas to escape, which is why the smell wafted through the streets of NY, especially around the MSG area on west 34th.
It makes sense to me...how come nobody else is talking about this as a theory?
