Op-Ed: Crazy conspiracy theorists.

NYT:


So Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, and Karl Rove all claim that the financial crisis was a liberal conspiracy, generated either by evil mastermind Chuck Schumer or by wily journalists.

Why does such stuff flourish? Probably because there is no punishment for it — as long as you’re on the right, and I mean right, side. Let Michael Moore point out, entirely correctly, the close ties between the Saudis and the Bush family, and he’s blasted as a crazy conspiracy theorist. On the other hand, let Donald Luskin suggest, in 2004, that George Soros is planning to engineer a financial crisis to defeat Bush, and he gets to publish front-page articles in the Washington Post Outlook section declaring that there isn’t a recession.

Paul Krugman [Nobel Peace Prize winner] is an Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times.

The still can't believe it's over for the Republicans. Right now they hope McCain/Palin win the election so nothing will charge and Republicans can still steal and of course give pocket money to Dems who cooperate.

The cat went looking to see if Bristol had the baby yet and look what I found:

Does this high school age boy look and act like he's with his own son or with the little brother of his girlfriend?

Interesting pic, Mr. Kitty. From looking at that pic, Swami says that Bristol and Levi are the parents of Trig.That would rule out a "brotherly" affection. And of course, the DNA would prove otherwise. But, a picture tells a thousand words. ;-)
