Good to know you have options, because BlogTalkRadio is all about censorship now and using draconian measures to keep targeted people and friends off their network.

Enjoy your 4.6 million in investment money BTR… and great job forgetting the “little bloggers” that got you to the point where you are. *applause*

So I’m looking at the Idiotic E-Mail of the week
(just use the link. The message is really long).

Snopes has it as “Undetermined,” because it’s obviously next-to-impossible to verify a second hand account that also uses anonymous sources. About.Com is trying to verify it as well.

I did a Google search on “Denny Keast,” and, outside of this E-Mail hitting the Right-Wing circuit like wildfire (word-for-word), this guy doesn’t seem to exist!

So let’s look at it with common sense.

• What is the writer trying to tell us?
• Also, do you get the impression he REALLY likes one political party over another?

Barely anything about Nixon, Ford, Carter or Reagan… was this guy on vacation for 20 years? They rely on certain historical facts on JFK and LBJ to get you to trust them on what Hillary, Bill and Gore were like to these people flying them around.

LBJ was a good ol’ boy, womanizer and all-around jerk? REALLY?
JFK had affairs? WOW!

But some of this, you need to swallow with a shot of Jack Daniels to get it down:

16 years of almost non-stop Clinton bashing in the beltway with almost every personal aspect of their lives in the news and tell-all books… and this is the first I’m hearing this.

I have no doubt both President Bushes were courteous to all the staff taking care of them and guarding them. But I find it hard to believe they were the ONLY ones like that. Hell, common sense dictates that anyone whose job is to keep you alive… you BETTER be good to them. LOL!

Now the part about Dubya cooking and serving them at BBQ’s? I think they’re kind of stretching it. Outside of this E-Mail I’ve never heard of him doing this as well.

If you ask me, I think this email is total bullshit with it’s only objective is to slam Hillary and Gore (and what a coincidence it came out as she announced her candidacy, huh?). It has all the earmarks of a Right-Wing hit piece with as much credibility as the “Starbucks hates the Troops” and “Pepsi hates God” hoaxes (and you’d be amazed how many stupid people fall for this stuff).

And if I’m wrong, look at it this way:
When a tough decision needs to be made, or a bad guy needs to be faced down, who do you want doing it?

• A Cross-dresser?
• A Mormon?
• A Conspiracy nut?
• Or A Stone-cold bitch that doesn’t care what her enemies think?

I said it, Maddox said it, and Bill Maher said it. THERE IS NO 9/11 CONSPIRACY! Together, we know everything. What more do you want?

Now despite the fact that Popular Mechanics debunked ALL of the 9/11 myths, someone took the movie “Loose Change” apart line by line, and a PLETHORA of sources on the JREF forum (who ridiculed every nut that came their way)… THE CRAZIES STILL CLING TO THE CONSPIRACIES!

Bill Maher is forced to eject so-called “911 Truthers” out of his audience. (YouTube video).

Watch these arrogant”Loose Change” kids as they are confronted with facts by the editors of Popular Mechanics.

• Video 1 | Video 2 |Video 3 | Video 4 | Video 5

In “Loose Change” they encourage people to do research and share their findings, HOWEVER… if your conclusions are different from theirs, you’re called a “LIAR” in a childish temper tantrum, and will find yourself banned on their forums.

And people still listen to these assholes? Do people have such a “MAD-ON” for Bush that they’ll just about accept anything they hear?

OK, let’s just say for the sake of argument this WAS a massive government conspiracy involving hundreds (maybe thousands) of people:

1. A blowjob in the Oval Office didn’t stay a secret for long… and that was just TWO people.
2. With all of the ex-Bush administration people resigning and writing “Tell-All” books, don’t you think a chapter called “How we pulled off 9/11 (Ha! Ha!)” would make theirs the biggest seller of all?
3. If the U.S. government has no problem killing off 3,000 of its citizens in one day, then why the hell are these “911 Truther” nutjobs still around???
4. OK conspiracy theorists, riddle me this…
   If this was an inside job by the Bush Administration… wouldn’t it have made more sense to frame Saddam Hussein and Iraq from the word “go”?

Remember KayCee Nicole? The Chipper, 19 year old who wrote beautiful poetry, suffered from Leukemia… oh yeah, and never existed?

Here’s a quick recap:

• The Sad Yet untrue Story Of Kaycee
• Snopes article about the KayCee hoax
• Deconstructing Kaycee

And well for all my haters here, thought you’d get a kick out of the beating I take from morons who twist everything I say in their Yahoo Group. Never mind the fact that I already apologized not once but twice on Metafilter for thinking that two web heavyweights vouching for KayCee, several people speaking on the phone with KayCee Swenson and a New York Times article about her was sufficient proof of her existence over their lame ass gut instincts. (Gee what was I thinking?) .

Ahhhhh fond memories of the past…. most of those losers, you can’t even find their websites anymore….
*waves off into obscurity-land and hopes they see me from down there*

Anyway…. I stumbled across the most interesting article last night:
Protect Your Community from a Hoax

Lo and behold, it turns out there is a blogger by the name of Widow who joined a community of cancer survivors called Hyster Sisters. Weaving beautifully descriptive tales about all her sufferings
(compare her writing to my Debbie Swenson spoof here) .

But wait… the plot thickens! Last month, Kathy, the owner, was tipped off and shut Widow down as she was exposed elsewhere as Silver, Silver-Jouie, jouiegoy, Dorota Dinte, Widow, Dr Widow T Elliott Lee, Natasha Astra Elliott

• One post on MySpace where Silver, a breast cancer survivor, tugs at someone’s heartstrings and then in December of 2006 suffers from every health issue under the sun, including (wait for it…) BRAIN ANEURISM (What did KayCee die from again? YEP! You betcha!).
• Six months earlier, June 5th 2006, a (wait for it again…) POET named Silver-Jouie Goy and her death is TOTALLY BUSTED on MySpace as a fraud.The reaction of her death from her fellow poets here and this one sure looks like a mini version of the ugliness on Metafilter …..
• Silver Jouie’s page on Zorpia. Much like Kaycee’s request which made people suspicious… please don’t send flowers or cards…. donate to charity. hmmmmmm

A new epidemic of women dying and then being uncovered as frauds?
Or the same person moving on to bigger and greener pastures?

Hell if I know.
But the parallels are uncanny.

I’d really like to hear how they got into the President’s Club of the BBB in the first place. Hasn’t anyone over there heard of that Google thingy?

(Hat Tip: Lolo, the Ninja strikes again!)
