    The Coincidence Theorist's Guide to 9/11

    I've only made it about a third of the way through, and I'm already pissed off. Oh well. Time to think about rainbows and kitty cats.

    But before that, I must link to Patriotboy, and again to The Rude Pundit, because they're working along similar vectors.

    My only complaint about those similar vectors is that sarcasm puts off all but the choir you're preaching to. It's an automatic waste of any persuasive value your information might have had if you express it thusly:

    Rodney Paige, Secretary of Our Leader's Ministry of Propaganda, Youth Division is delighted to report that the voucher movement is a splendid success. One way to destroy the Godless communist atheistic Christophobic public education is by siphoning off their tax-dollars to fly-by-night fads, the more expensive the better, such as charter schools. And now, the results are in and the charter schools have taken in more than 600,000 students that would otherwise be exposed to liberal teacher-unionists. Charter schools are instead run by private corporations, who understand Jesus' admonition that the invisible hand can't manage a vineyard as well as a no-bid sweetheart deal.

    Not that I'm really complaining, and, as I've said, I'm sick of seeing everyone play nice while the fascists kick their heads in, but it sure would be nice to see this information repackaged, and I'm too lazy to do it.
