9/11 Truthiness and other links

-Fascinating article on the 9/11 Truthers. I stopped buying what they are selling but I can certainly endorse any movement that is "not conspiracy theorists because they lack a theory. They just have questions." What's wrong with questions?

-My favorite: development and aid economics. (not joking.)

-The NY Knicks are not only pathetic, they fight each other... during timeouts. This is after Robinson attacked a teammate in the shower by the way. Robinson is an idiot. On top of these two altercations, he was pivotal in the fight with the Nuggets last year. He needs to be reprimanded and scared into being intelligible. Yet, Amare and Boris suffered for crossing a line last year... ugh.

-22 worst dunks ever. These are hilarious.

-San Antonio Spurs: the Musical! Need I say more?

-Handicapping the Oscars.

Not a very good article if you ask me. These things are a dime a dozen, always sounding the same.

I'm sympathetic to the first commenter's letter to Utne, however.

I'm never quite sure whether I'm in the MIHOP camp or the LIHOP camp, but any idiot must be alarmed when no one was fired for their failure to halt the action.

Things like the war games, warnings from over a dozen foreign governments, Operation Able Danger and the Official 9/11 Commission Report should be enough to get any person asking questions.

Never really understood the people that got mad at 9/11 truthers for somehow defaming the victims and the like...many of those families are amongst the most vocal in the Truth movement.

Almost forgot...Building 7! I wonder what percentage of Americans even know that WTC 7 imploded and collapsed? I've met New Yorkers that didn't even know!!!!!!

It's not like our government and many other governments don't have a history of false-flag attacks. I pity the fools that are blind to these things although perhaps it's a superior existence.

"I will begin by stating what we know to be a solid incontrovertible scientific fact. We know that it is strictly impossible for any building, much less steel columned buildings, to “pancake” at free fall speed. Therefore, it is a non-controversial fact that the official explanation of the collapse of the WTC buildings is false... Since the damning incontrovertible fact has not been investigated, speculation and 'conspiracy theories' have filled the void."
