Peter Dale Scott now moving into the MIHOP camp

Doesn't surprise me that Scott moved over. LIHOP is inherently untenable.

Poets are highly regarded for their insistence on the facts and their rock-solid mental equilibriums.

Sylvia Plath wrote an excellent primer on IQ and race, The Bell Curve.

Using a Ouija Board, James Merrill wrote a rigorous treatise on optics, The Changing Light at Sandover.

Robert Frost, in addition to being a poet, was a Road Engineer who worked on ergonomically-improved divergent color coordination to enhance safety.

John Ashbery has this to say about LIHOP:

The room I entered was a dream of this room.
Surely all those feet on the sofa were mine.
The oval portrait
of a dog was me at an early age.
Something shimmers, something is hushed up.

We had macaroni for lunch every day
except Sunday, when a small quail was induced
to be served to us. Why do I tell you these things?
You are not even here.

(italics mine because they're pretty)

Don't forget the poem William Carlos Williams penned when he joined the CIT:

so much depends
upon

a flight data
recorder

filled with incongruous
data

beside the burning
pentagon.
 
A Poet? A Poet? FFS. Talk about grasping at straws.

In other news, twenty three Chicago hookers have joined the Truth Movement, in a staggering move that has shaken the foundations of the Bush Administration. US Military Forces were put on DEFCON2 last night, and the Governor of Illinois has declared a state of emergency. Stay tuned for the latest on this evolving crisis.

How dare you impugn the reputation of my fine city's hookers by insinuating some of them have joined the truth movement! :mad:

What is it about Literature Professors that makes them so vulnerable when it comes to conspiracy theories and political woo in general?

In my experience Literature Professors view their classes as a chance to indoctrinate their students into some sort of political belief. They thus start reading highly political works and, by virtue of their position of authority, don't have anyone to call them on it as they get more and more radical and detached from reality. Before you know it they're tenured ideologues of some extreme movement.

It's OK WC. In a further development the hookers immediately left the truth movement when they determined that none of the truthers could afford their services, not that any of them knew what to do with a hooker in the first place. Several moms had some choice words for the girls, however.
 
Oh, Canada!

Since this has become a comedy thread, may I summit this video of some Canadian truther dudes and chicks socking it to the Evil Amerikan Empire. (No need to watch the whole thing but don’t miss what the Mohawk dude says at the 1:00 mark). Caution: NSFW language.



Note: When I first saw this video I thought it had to be a parody and left the comment, “This is a comedy routine, right?” My comment and other comments were removed and the comments closed but this comment below remains which just has to be a parody. Right?

This young fellow with the mohawk would make a great on-air personality for you ;)

He manages to take complexities and make them understandable to average people.

LIHOP is less tenable the MIHOP?

I think the phrase should be "even less tenable". One of the few vaguely tenable CT hypotheses, in that although there's no evidence for it whatsoever, there's no obviously compelling evidence against it, is the MIHOP-LITE scenario, in which the only US involvement is that some agent provocateur supported the planning and funding of the 9/11 attacks, which otherwise unfolded as we know they did. It has the rare benefit of not being obviously stupid at first sight; it requires a closer look before its stupidity becomes evident.

That could make sense, as could Let Something or Other Happen on Purpose; high level (presumably cross-party) functionaries decide that gradually lowering defences against terrorism is in the long term geo- or internal political interest, and disguise their action as cost cutting or tactical redeployment.

Anything else, I submit, is so wildly implausible as to be worth discounting out of hand.
 
Shouldn't we be taking this calamitous news more seriously? That is, we shills of the New World Order. And that is, calamitous because one of the most important voices of our time may or may not be joining the other side. And also that is, seriously, because this means that the tottering edifice of our collective, oh whatever it is, is now about to teeter into twittering oblivion?

Just my opinion, of course.

Where is this gateway you speak of? And how much are quarters there?

Is anyone else quaking in their boots at the prospect of this Truther Mega-Army of poets, theologians, radio hosts and burnt out ex-wrestlers?
 
Then of course there's the poet laureate who wrote the following about the towers:

Some say the towers fell from fire;
Some say from thermite.
From what I've seen of corruption
I hold with those who favor eruption (in pyroclastic clouds).
But since they had to do it twice (three times if you count 7),
I think I know enough of thermate
To know that for destruction it
Is also great
And would suffice.

(apologies to Mr. Frost)
