Conspiracy Theories

Refried, question our government, or the police for that matter, who always have our best interests at heart? How dare you. Remember, there are no conspiracies ever. It's always one lone nut with three names. You must be a loony to think otherwise.

Conspiracy Theories

One more thing regarding conspiracies. Not all conspiracy theories are the same and it's easy to pick out the most outlandish and use that to dismiss them all. Oswald for example may or may not have been the only shooter but I will always believe there were other people who helped him prepare if they did not pull the trigger themselves.

Conspiracy Theories

They certainly used the attack to further an agenda that existed before they even took office.

Conspiracy Theories

Refried, it is certainly possible, if not probable that the reason they give is the right one. In fact, if the WTC never fell it would not have lessened the fact of the attack one iota. I wouldn't say that Bush and Cheney wanted it to happen but they were given intel that it might. I think they wanted something to happen to give an excuse to invade Iraq and/or establish a presence in the middle east. You've probably heard of the project for a new american century, a conservative group all wishing to increase America's military presence in the world. This is their statement of principles in 1997. Many of the signers were later in the Bush team and set up the war including Dick "I'm supposed to help pick a running mate but it seems like I'm the best choice" Cheney. http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofpr...

Conspiracy Theories

There could have been a smaller conspiracy with JFK. There are too many questions with LHO. Obviously OJ did his crime. I'm not saying the gov't planted bombs or was involved in 9/11. But WHY did building 7 fall? Just asking.

Endless Summer, Oldboy, Pineapple Express

"Seth Rogan is the comic genius of our time." Perhaps you've had a little too much brew.

Usher in a New Baby

Do we have to know this for the test? Who's Usher again? A "singer" like Madonna?

David Letterman Controversy

Didn't know that Dave voted for Bush. I would have given him a lot more credit although he is in the right tax bracket. Of course so is the democratic "Hollywood elite". He certainly atoned for it with the thousands of Bush jokes over the years. Low hanging fruit to be sure. Hopefully Sarah will run in 2012 so we can have four more years of Obama. BTW, congratulations refried on the best story award. I enjoyed it.

Drumming is My Madness

I believe Steve Gadd is the drummer on 50. I really hate to disagree with SD but I think John Cusack is very overrated. I did like the movie but the book was better. As is often the case, the movie dispenses with dialogue and inner thought for the sake of editing and commercial motivations.

Banker’s Hill/Mercy ER Patient

SD...let me add my name to the list of well wishers. Glad you are feeling better. Mike
