CSICOP Hoax Watch

CSICOP has a page dedicated to the various mystical garbage that sprung up around 9-11. The latest update shreds L’Effroyable Imposture, the steaming pile of dung which lately stank up the French bestseller list with its claims that the Pentagon attack was a hoax.

I have a question. If you can go to jail in France for selling Nazi memorabilia, why not for this sort of lying idiocy? Instead, this guy gets rewarded with a bestseller. I’m not saying that he should go to jail — he should not — but that the French have a very odd attitude towards acceptable and unacceptable speech.

Arab TV’s ‘Millionaire’ is political

One of the catchphrases is “Greetings to our steadfast people in Palestine”. No, I’m not kidding. Nor am I kidding about the special “Martyr’s Mothers” episode, where the women in question donated their winnings to “charities”. Nor about how the show is on a Saud-owned TV station.

Actually, they declined to hear it, thereby sparing Lord High Executioner Nino the need to justify voting to execute a man whose lawyer slept through a trial.

Why Pakistan might turn to nukes | csmonitor.com

What it comes down to is that Pakistan might not be able to head off an Indian invasion or airstrikes without them. I don’t think either side really wants to use them — other than a few zealots — but at the same time they haven’t tried nearly hard enough to avoid a war that would likely go nuclear.

Chris Rock Script Takes a Crack At Marion Barry (washingtonpost.com)

Oooh, this could be good. Produced by Chris Rock, starring Jamie Foxx, and Barry is already claiming it’s inaccurate and “outrageous”.

I suck

That’s according to N.Z. Bear, whose new objective list of bloggers (by the number of incoming links) has me as an “insignificant microbe”, albeit near the top of the range. I’m like an amoeba, I suppose, as opposed to the bacteria down at the bottom. And everyone is getting an Instapundit link but me, by the way. I’d jump off the roof but it’s only two stories and anyway there are workers up there who might stop me.

(The above is obviously not meant to be taken seriously, I’m not really suicidal.)

You’ve Got Ethnic Cleansing!

Testimony: Milosevic Got Atrocity Reports by E - Mail

Also by “post” (I’d guess they mean snail mail, this is Reuters) and fax. But especially email; they even include his address in the story, though there’s a plus sign in place of the @ for some reason. That’s just weird somehow. It’s like having Hitler’s private phone number.

You know, next time someone tries to commit genocide, they’re going to have a blog. It’s inevitable.

Not the Britney Spears Story

Just came across a book in the collection, published in 1934, entitled Music Ho!. Really. Look it up yourself. (I’d do a link to the record but I can never get those to work.)
