To Tell The Whole Truther And Nothing But The Truther
April 10th, 2007 at 7:39 am by SmantixWere planes hijacked by 19 Islamic Fundamentalists and used to attack the World Trade Center on 9/11 or was it a devious plot hatched in the labyrinthine halls of The Federal Reserve?
Sorry, I’m off the clock. Check back tomorrow.
Just asking, you know? Whenever you get a minute.
Mikey – For the record, I’m more concerned about you being staffed by Truthers than drunks. We’ve learned to live with the latter.
Update: Past hiring practices as prologue.
Update 2: Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Guess that settles that. And that’s really the crux for why I give so much shit to the locals. Because they play footsie with a Truther After-Downing-Streeter for webtraffic and loose change.

So is Tennessee’s #1 air-head “on the clock yet”?
Or is she trapped in Payless trying to decide between the two-tone oxfords and the metallic-green pump?

You didn’t really expect an answer, did you?
The other question(s) that seem(s) unanswerable is/are “What happens if we leave Iraq too soon, and who will claim the resultant ‘victory’ for the subsequent bloodbath & terrorist nexxus?” It seems so many want to leave yet stick fingers in their ears when the consequences of such “populism” are revealed.
Want to kill a “leave Iraq war now” thread and clear the masses? Ask those questions. Works just as well as offering free showers at a drum circle.

Not really. All my traffic is from BSG nerds lately.
As for Loose Change–I think it’s an insane theory.
Embrace the love, Smantix. Embrace the love.

I honestly expected an answer. I know I would have a hard time being all buddy-buddy with a Truther.
Evidently some people don’t have that problem.

I thought she did answer…
Did she not?
I mean, you and she are going back and forth over there….
I’ll be buddies with anyone who will have me. I’m the anti-groucho marx that way.
A shame your audience didn’t vote for you to forgive me.

I didn’t feel the need to be baited into a ridiculous argument. But, if it pleases the people, no, I am not what Smantix calls a “truther.” The first time I heard the term was when he used it yesterday.
I believe that the terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center were Middle Eastern extremists–Islamic terrorists–most of whom were Saudi in nationality.

Kat,
We all did, it’s just that (according to Brittney) Smantix deleted all those votes.

Billy – quit being confrontational. She hates it when you do that.
brittany – well that is certainly a relief. Because I view Truthers in the same light as Holocaust Deniers. So when you start beating the “fascist comment deleters” drum over Schizo Steve thinking that the eye at the top of the Novus Ordo Seclorum pyramid on the back of his one dollar bill is watching him, do consider the source.

Smantix,
Stop confronting Billy. It makes me and Baby Jesus cry.
…oh gosh. Now I’m confronting Smantix. I’m awash in personal conflict.
I’m melting into a puddle even as we speak.

RE: brittney (Tuesday, April 10, 2007 @ 8:57 pm)
Fair enough, brittney. The “Truther” term has been around for some time, and it is encouraging that you have not joined that clan.
Yes, it does please me to know that you agree that the argument is ridiculous to an extreme. Unfortunately, a not insignificant number of people are getting sucked in to such nonsense and creating a history, whether accidentally or intentionally, that doesn’t exist. Some of it invariably seeps into the public consciousness as valid despite repeated refutations of its “merits”.

So what do you want Katherine? For somebody who doesn’t read this site anymore you certainly seem to be checking in a lot lately.
April 10th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
As much as this is gonna sound like B.S. I’ve actually just been here three times recently. And I’m a blabbermouth so I’ve talked two of those three times.
The first time I dropped in was because you were blogrolled by Just 4 The Record Books and so I popped over.
Then you came up on the NiT blogroll with that piece about Rosie O’Donnell and I was interested in what it had to say. And today I bounced over here because I was following the conversation from Sparkwood & 21.
So I guess I’ve become relaxed enough to check in on the stuff that pulls me in at least. Fair enough?

I dunno. After reading your job interviewer’s response I’m kind of having second thoughts about participating in a site that attracts such mean, bitter people.
April 11th, 2007 at 12:05 am
Yeah well.
She does have a peace quilt.
And she did think I was making fun of her.
But she was SO not a job interviewer. Unless “snake oil drinking” has become a job.
::leaves door open for Smantix to make some crack about NiT::
