veto message

The governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, sent a special message to a state lawmaker when he vetoed a bill that would have allowed the city of San Fransisco to get the financing they need to redevelop a former shipyard into a new neighborhood. The veto message sent to San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, had a hidden message. Look at the first letter of each line in the body of the message.

“My goodness. What a coincidence,” said Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear. “I suppose when you do so many vetoes, something like this is bound to happen.”

So all those who think this wasn’t done on purpose, raise your hand. Anyone? Bueller?

Update: A statistician on CNN stated that the odds of this being a coincidence were somewhere around 3 trillion to one.
