I found this link this morning and I got sucked in. You may have heard about all of the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11. That the towers were brought down by a controlled explosion, that the pentagon was hit by a missile (etc, etc, etc). They were all brought together by “truth-seekers” in one movie (that [...]

Dennis was so kind as to grace us with his opinion on this post, and since his comment is so freaking long, I have to respond here. Bear with me. You know the drill — his comments in bold italics.

Nobody alive today has witnessed anything of this magnitude and it will certainly be a thought on my mind [...]

Alarm…snooze…Alarm…snooze… After hitting the snooze button a few too many times, I awoke to check IMs/Email only to receive a somewhat frantic IM: “Pete, are you watching this?” Whatching what? I think to myself, somewhat bleary eyed. “Do you know what’s going on?” I had no idea, but I do now. After listening quietly to the horror that [...]
