On March 2, a Playboy.com article by Mark Ames and Yasha Levine, "Backstabber: Is Rick Santelli High On Koch?" (since removed from the site), revealed that CNBC commentater Rick Santelli's apparently spontaneous rant of Feb. 19th, in which he suggested having a "Chicago tea party" to protest Obama's housing stimulous plan, was really a carefully...

It kills fish! It causes cancer! Oh, wait, that's DDT. As you were. I hoped that the TV digital converter box hysteria would die down after numerous people opened up their boxes on YouTube videos, revealing the conspicuous absence of any cameras, recording devices, or tiny aerosol-spray compartments full of Gay Gas . I hoped... Continue Reading →
20something guy overheard in a coffeeshop: "Primordial bacteria are killing fisherman; the planet is fighting back, just like in The Happening." He went on to say that Steven Spielberg deserves props for including the "suppressed" knowledge of head-binding in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, even though it was a crappy movie....

Note: This is the last time I'll be devoting a post to Alex Jones on this blog, because I've started up a separate blog just for him: Leaving Alex Jonestown. It won't contain play-by-play analysis of every single one of his broadcoasts, 'cause even I am not masochistic enough to listen to Alex Jones more... Continue Reading →

The three skinheads grabbed her as she stood outside a train station in Zurich, speaking Portuguese over her cell phone.

In honour of the 44th President of the United States, I decided to catalogue the Top Ten stupidest smears, urban legends, and conspiracy theories that have been spun around Barack Obama since his election campaign. He's here in spite of them all, and I think that says something about smear campaigns: They're a complete waste... Continue Reading →
I have just learned that Christiane Maggiore died on December 27, at the age of 52. My condolences and sympathy go out to her only living child. She did not have to die so soon. Maggiore's friends and supporters say her six-month bout of fatal pneumonia was in no way related to her HIV/AIDS. They... Continue Reading →
A Fun New Year's Quiz! Below are some gloom-&-doom predictions from some of my (least) favourite conspiranoids. You tell me if they're referring to the aftermath of Y2k, or to what they think will happen in '09. Answers are at the bottom. Bonus points for guessing the conspiranoid! Well, OK, no bonus points, but it's... Continue Reading →
Many Truthers and believers in the NWO are excited about a clip from CNN-Pakistan, in which former ISI chief Hamid Gul "admits" that 9/11 and the Mumbai attacks were engineered in the U.S. Actually he's just expressing an opinion. To someone like me, who suspects Pakistan had some involvement in these attacks, Mr. Gul's message... Continue Reading →
One perfect example: Overanalyzing the hell out of Disney Channel programming. "Brainpanhandler" at the Rigorous Intuition Forum is freaked over the Disney cartoon Little Einsteins because he thinks the villainous jet that tries to thwart the kidlets leaves a chemtrail behind it. Also, the jet vaguely resembles the F-14 Tomcat. And another Disney Channel cartoon,... Continue Reading →
