Thank the internet for the lunacy that gets so much press, and even now is getting time on FOX news. I refer to the 9-11 conspiracy theorists who say it was an inside job. This morning on FOX they actually let one of these wierdos blather on for five minutes. Anchor Megyn Kelly was clearly doing her best to oppose his insanity, but I don't think they should even have allowed him on, it's all so goofy.
I decided to check out one of their web sites today, half expecting it to do some damage to my computer, and I read through some of the lunacy. In a way it reminded me of the film JFK, which advances the conspiracy notion regarding the shooting of the President by means of a slew of wild ideas presented as "facts." I guess some people just get off on believing crazy things. If they had a creed, it would probably run something like this:
I believe in the JFK conspiracy theory and all other conspiracy theories regarding especially the US Government. Since the US Government is so utterly corrupt and beyond all reforming, therefore I believe that George W. Bush is the devil himself, but that even the most progressive President would be powerless to undo all the evil in this wicked realm.
I believe in Nevada's Area 51, where all the aliens are being held, alongside their flying saucers, the ark of the covenant, Jimmy Hoffa, and Elvis Presley.
I believe we never landed on the moon, that it was all a hoax.
I believe in the tooth fairy, that she is really an evil demon planting capitalist propaganda in the minds of unsuspecting children. That goes for Santa Claus too.
I believe that 9-11 was an inside job, that the US Government somehow managed to arrange for all the destruction and murder of that day, without anyone leaking any of this to anyone in the media.
These people are really nuts. And now they're getting TV time. Thumbs down to FOX and anyone else who give it to them. I suppose I should be ignoring them too, come to think of it. OK, thumbs down to me too . . .
. . . it's just that they're sooo nuts . . .

It wasn't Jesse "The Body" Ventura was it?
(Just because I might just "Write in Ron" doesn't mean I'm a conspiracy theorist.)
As Ronald the Great said, "There you go again . . ."
That same Ronald (the Great) once gave Ron Paul his endorsment, something none of the other candidates could claim.
What the first Ronald could not complete, why not let the second Ronald finish (other than that he left the Lutheran Church for Protestanism, even if the Lutheranism he left is now ELCA).
But I will admit, McCain is better than Obama. I can't wait to see him veto spending bills left and right, up and down, and every which way. . . .
