More Bad News… and this is a corker. The NY Post: “'Blame U.S. for 9/11' Idiots in Majority; 'Plots' Thicken in Shocking Poll”
And that's not the only conspiracy theory with a huge number of true believers in the
The poll found that more than one out of three Americans believe Washington is concealing the truth about UFOs and the Kennedy assassination - and most everyone is sure the rise in gas prices is one vast oil-industry conspiracy.
Sixty-two percent of those polled thought it was "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that federal officials turned a blind eye to specific warnings of the 2001 attacks on the
Shocking, indeed. Are we really that frickin’ stupid? Don’t answer that…
News You Can Use…Mashable publishes a link to 33 sites with (mostly) free stock photos and backgrounds that can be used on your blog… or elsewhere…without fear of copyright infringement. Most of the photo sites require a link-back or an attribution for a photo you use but that’s only common courtesy, innit? I’ve bookmarked the link.
A Senior Moment… yesterday. Right here at El Casa Móvil De Pennington. I completely forgot it was a holiday Friday, and as such was loaded-up with potentially great college football. I missed another good one, to wit: LSU came up short in a second triple overtime loss. At home this time. Wow. And those Aggies beat Texas, while USC demolished…destroyed…
But I won’t miss today’s games. Not on your life!
Today’s Pic: It’s another cold and snowy day here on The High Plains of Two Three of our current cold snap. At any rate, whenever I find myself feeling sorry for myself (about the weather, anyway) I only have to go back into the archives to see it could be…and was…worse. Once upon a time.
This is a (grainy first-generation digital) photo of the Ol’ Homestead in Perinton, New York, taken on a crystal-clear and numbingly cold morning following a six-inch (or more like eight inches) snowfall. As I said: worse.
January, 1999.
Wow... first to comment.
ReplyDeleteI know you said not to answer, but I feel I must.
YES! We can be that stupid. Too many examples support that fact: Bill Clinton, Jerry Springer, Bell Bottom Jeans... there is more, but I won't rant here.
But on the flip side... we have our moments. To be fair, Ronald Reagan, 60 minutes, and Levi 501's... balance the previous list.
My $.02.
My thoughts: too many people out there just seem to take the MSM as gospel. That's why they believe these wacked out theories.
ReplyDeleteHow bout that Tennessee-Kentucky game? Quadruple overtime. I didn't have too big of a dog in that fight, but it was exciting to watch.
I am sad about Australia - John Howard was a great leader and ally. He will be missed..
ReplyDeleteSam: Yeah we can be that stupid. Good offsets, though!
ReplyDeleteBecky: I didn't have a dog in that fight, either, but was rooting for Kentucky. Mainly coz I wanted to see Georgia play LSU for the SEC title. I think LSU will cream Tennessee, whereas I think Georgia could beat 'em. YMMV.
Cynthia: Agreed on Mr. Howard.
LOL! I was rooting for Tennessee for the very same reason. Still, you never know. No one expected Arkansas to win either.
