I was intending to write a great deal more about Mr. Dubeck, but I got
tired, needed to go to sleep, and lost interest in this project. so I
just slammed it up the way I had it. Here it is.

Leroy Dubeck is a well respected man. He has a long history of good
accomplishment. Unfortunately, he made the worst political mistake of
his career earlier this year.

The above was posted by the Fake Sam Sloan. It is very interesting
because it makes a statement with which I agree and it may provide
clues as to who the Fake Sam Sloan is.

The Real Sam Sloan

You agree because it came from the real Sam Sloan.

Hmmm ... unattributed, unsupported, derogatory hearsay. Just the kind
of factual accuracy and careful objectivity an encyclopedia entry
should have.
