This one's for miss Ramp, who is dismayed to find that not only do I own an older mac (yes, tis true) but my dad is considering one, even though I'm trying to convince him otherwise :)

Why do I keep hearing about this Loose Change video? Four times this week. For something so poorly done, I'm amazed its gotten such traction.

Then again, one in four Americans is probably legally retarded, so I'm not too surprised.

or as Maddox put it "Watching this video is like being bukkaked with stupid"

Indeed. I have nothing against conspiracy theories, but damn it kids, use your brain. Pick up a book. Learn. Don't just become a lemming and believe whatever you hear because some umemployed philosophy major with an agenda and a mac and too much time decided to punish us all with the garbage in his head.

Because I don't have faith that people can be counted on to look up an authority on the subject, and because I don't want to post on this myself for lack of time, I present you with a detailed point-by-point rebuttal of the Loose Change videos by well-respected authorities in the fields in question.

I can always count on Popular Mechanics to set the record straight :)

Thus has passed another Xangage Service Announcement, gentle readers. Enjoy :)

So after stumbling upon the Infowars website again recently (many of you may remember a couple years back I had many prominent posts dedicated to tearing their "articles" apart) I stumbled across this little gem:

http://www.infowars.com/articles/science/space_neo_fascists_in_space_part_2.htm

The title is "Neo-fascist pigs in space". With a title like that, the quality of the writing is, as you'd expect, at about a fifth-grade level.

But I digress.

I'll leave it up to you, gentle Xangers, if you would like me to comment on it. So I made a poll, because lets face it, polls are flippin sweet.
