Proof Of A Conspiracy
One of the geniuses at Democratic Underground has done a scientific experiment that proves the World Trade Center could not have been brought down by airplanes:
"What I conclude is that a fairly flimsy steel structure does not distort and bend and collapse very easily from a simple hydrocarbon fire. And thus, it is not clear why the much stronger steel columns in the WTC towers weakened so much from fires that the towers underwent global collapse.
If kerosene/jet fuel/hydrocarbon fires can indeed cause steel structures to collapse, it should be quite simple to show this in an experiment-- right?"
To follow his logic, check out the link and the accompanying pictures. His methodology is irrefutable, but his conclusions would have been made even more powerful if he had added some ants to simulate people scurrying for their lives, and some packing peanuts to replicate little Xerox photocopiers.
Now if he could only find such an ironclad way of actually pinning 9/11 on Dick Cheney...

Comments
I have never felt a stronger compulsion to damage someone's car than when I was walking my dog a couple of blocks from my houese. There, in a nice somewhat upper middle class neighborhood was a minivan with bumperstickers that said stuff like "9-11 Was An Inside Job" and other crap like it. A minivan in a middle class suburb means these people are not your typical seedy urban hippies, and that they have reproduced. These people are mentally deranged. Bizarrely stupid. If you want to see idiots in a kind of otherworldly sandbox, Google "911 was an inside job" and visit some of the web sites (e.g. http://www.letsroll911.org/phpwebsite/)

LGF gave us a HatTip for this link. As usual, the comments are pretty funny.

I gotta look through my unread stuff at home. I have an article somewhere that I haven't read. The teaser said it was about how the left has been ruined intellectually by the JFK assassination, or something like that. Might have been Commentary Magazine. Since I didn't read the article, I don't know exactly what the angle was. I would not say the crackpot left was ruined by the assassination as they were shown up by it. Their reaction to it back 40 years ago seems to be the way they react to everything (and if you could've read the tea leaves discerningly, the propensity was evident back even earlier). Everything is a governemnt conspiracy. The conspiracy is vast and all encompassing. Somehow, the gnostic Left are the only ones in tune with just how vast it is.
The sad thing is that some liberal commenters back in the 50s had argued that the right is particularly prone to conspiracy theories. Now I'll grant that there are a quite a few nutjob rightwingers, and back then it might have been worse (John Birch Society, etc), but the "mainstream" right turned out to have been right about their conspiracy theories. There really were commies in every part of government, Hollywood, etc., and Russian documents from the Cold War prove it. The Left OTOH can't get over it. It's their mind set. Everything from Kennedy to Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 to 9/11 is a conspiracy. And the thinking of the looniest precincts has seeped into, if not the rank and file of the Democratic party, then at least their party leadership and activist cadres...oops I meant activist groups.

The original DU member who posted this "experiment" was criticized a bit in their comments for not re-creating the WTC structure accurately enough. Soo.... to improve his methodology, he did his experiment a THIRD time and added more kerosene, more newspaper, bigger "airplane holes" and (I shit you not) wrapped the whole structure in tinfoil to retain heat. It still did not collapse. QED.
You just can't make this stuff up.
