On this night of news and Open Lines, President Clinton was on TV talking about the weird weather, and seemed very puzzled about the number of weather tragedies, such as the Ohio River flooding with 50 people dead. Art believed officials were finally going to agree with him that the weather was changing. Listener "Joe" wrote to say he advocated the cloning of our species but feels it needs to be out of the hands of the government and administered by entrepreneurs.

There were reports of a new Hawaiian island forming, called Loihi. Another listener wrote in about his own bottomless hole in Wilmington, North Carolina, and claimed he was finding things around the hole, like refrigerators, TVs and miles of fishing line. A fax Art shares details a local newspaper story about a lady who saw a van-sized, triangular glowing object hovering in the sky. She supposedly got one minute's worth of video.

Art said a lot of people sometimes got on his case because he specializes in the weird, etc., but he accused the mainstream media of not doing their homework, or being consistent.
