I've now listened to the appearance of Jim Fetzer on the "Colmes" show, whatever that is. The good news is that he comes across as insane, which I think he is, and this can't be good for the troothiness "movement".

I've also listened to part of Jim Fetzer's own radio show in which his guest is Judy Wood. At the first, he was starting to ridicule NASA's explanation of what killed the Columbia space shuttle, saying that there was no way a piece of foam could have attained a speed of 500 mph before it hit the wing, which I can understand if it was simply that the acceleration surprised him, but in fact Fetzer showed a complete and total misunderstanding of the physical world while trying to explain his thoughts. He backed off when Judy Wood told him that was really what happened.

But the point I wanted to raise about this show is the commercials. The podcast doesn't have the commercials edited out, so you get to hear what kind of advertisers would sponsor his show. So far I've heard:

* Dietary supplements to ward off the effects of various ills, including Chemtrails.

* Naturopathy.

* Magets to put on the fuel line of your car to line up the fuel's molecules and increase efficiency.

* Bible-based school curricula.

* Our favorite news source, the American Free Press.

* An advertisement for an exciting career in knife sharpening.

And I'm only about halfway through the first of two podcast files. I especially liked the part about how the towers' destruction could not have been actual failures due to impacts/fire, because, as everyone knows, trees don't spontaneously turn into sawdust from the top down.

Sometimes I wish I lacked scruples. Marketing to the paranoid and gullible would be so easy and fun.
 
The Kevin Barrett thing is really starting to blow up, at least on the libertarian- to slightly rightward-leaning side of the blogosphere.

Here's a quote from one of Ann Althouse's commenters that I really liked:

There's a certain abandoning of intellectual inhibitions with this stuff, isn't there? You've been raised all your life not to believe stuff that's patently crazy, but then one day you try a little, and the sky doesn't fall. So you try a little more, and the next thing you know you're doing the intellectual equivalent of running down the street naked with a lampshade on your head. Most people don't consider this as an option unless they're crazy, but you really can just let loose and believe absolutely anything.

Barrett's capacity for rational skepticism went where Deb Frisch's manners went. The id is all that's left.

She also has video of Barrett's appearance on Fox's "Hannity & Colmes". Her comment thread is like the JREF vs. LC debate in microcosm. It's interesting to see people refer to arguments that have been debunked, rebunked, and then de-rebunked again (e.g., Popular Mechanics, "free-fall speed", put options, etc.)

The usual blood pressure warnings apply.
 
I guess its time for a series of CT lightbulb jokes.

Q: How many Conspiracy Theorists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One to tell us how light bulbs are part of the neo-con agenda, another to change the bulb anyway.

Q: How many Conspiracy Theorists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Five! That light bulbs must be changed because the ZIONISTS WORK THEIR DEEDS IN THE DARK!

Q: How many Loosers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One to talk about his skill at changing light bulbs, one to tell how light bulbs are actually invincible, thirty seven to pat them on the back and hand out 'thumbs-up' smileys.

Q: How many Conspiracy Theorists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None, if you fix the light 'they' will find you.

Q: How many 'Scholars for 911 Truth' does it take to change a light bulb.
A: None. In accordance with the second law of thermodynamics the bulb should have toppled over on its own and fallen out of the socket. The only explanation for why the bulb remains is that someone filled the socket with superglue when it was built.

Q: How many 'Scholars for 911 Truth' does it take to change a light bulb.
A: I would have beaten the light bulb to death with my luggage.

Q: How many Government Agents does it take to change a light bulb (according to CT schedule of events)?
A: three agents to get the new bulb, two to remove the old bulb, one to keep an eye on the electricity level, three to make sure nobody saw the bulb changing, two to asassinate those who did see it, fourty seven to bribe all the electrical engineers in the country to say bulbs do not burn out, 193 to bribe engineers world-wide....

I have an alternate for the last one...
Q: How many Government Agents does it take to change a light bulb (according to CT schedule of events)?
A: I don't know but I KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE GOVERNEMENT changed it and it didn't go down the way they said it did.
 
Q: How many CTers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: It doesn't matter how many you have; they will be too busy arguing over if the lightbulb is real; how it burnt out or, alternatively, that it isn't burnt out but that the switch was flipped; demand evidence for the bulb being burned out, then deny said evidence when it is presented, etc.

Q: How many skeptics does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Only one, but before the lightbulb is changed:
1) the switch will be toggled
2) the breaker/fuse will be checked
3) outlets in the room will be checked for power
4) bulb will be removed and reseated
5) new bulb will be placed in socket and watched for effect
6) if new bulb performs differently from old bulb, old bulb will be put back in socket to observe if old bulb retains previous behavior or adopts behavior of new bulb
7) new bulb placed in socket as fix
8) old bulb is checked in a different socket to confirm it is not a socket-only problem

Indeed, there is the "Mainstream" CT'ers, meaning those that take LC as their gospel, and the "Heretics" who espouse even wilder interpertations (I rather like broodlinger (IIRC), who is now in favor of a 767 hit, but that it had been redesigned to have a Depleted Uranium or Thermite nose put on the aircraft to allow it to crash through the WTC...:boggled:

but of course, they all hate the "infidels" (that's us, BTW) :cool:

ake a tour of some of the weather-related photos on the net...
Broomstraws stuck in trees. 2x4's through brick and concrete walls--
And those things are wind-borne, and at speeds of less than 300mph...

Q: How many Conspiracy Theorists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Why do you ask, you neo-con Zionist??

Q: How many Government shrills are needed to change a light bulb?
A: None, see they secretly planted C4 when the light fixture was installed. Then when some one else changes the bulb, the C4 will detonate, the ensuing chaos will be blamed on a patsy and used and as an excuse to rescind the constitution and plunge us into a Illuminati controlled police state.

Huh,

Illunimati, light bulbs. Do the figuring.

Hey, I'm just asking questions.
 
Going back downtown on Saturday.

I'd love to build my own catchy pamphlets to combat the CTers catchy pamphlets, maybe even with suggestions on how to fight problems with government without becoming a conspiracy theorist.

Any suggestions?
