Spend Your Loose Change On Something Else

Seeing the story about the accident in California that caused a section of the I-80 East connecting ramp to partially melt, then buckle and collapse, I am happy, for two reasons: first, that no one was killed or seriously injured; second, that some of the exponents of the "intentional demolition" theory of the 9/11 WTC collapse (yes, they're still around) might at long last -- seeing the effect of thousands of gallons of burning fuel on steel girders -- shut the fuck up. I say this as a dyed-in-the-wool lefty who has no use for the Bush administration or its half-baked policies: if I hear one more radical "progressive" say that there's no way the towers could have collapsed without the use of explosives, I'm going to use explosives, on that person.

Governments do plenty of bad things, and ours is no exception. Enough of those things are done in the open that we don't need to make shit up.

Have you heard about Charlie Sheen, finally coming to his senses, or at least thinking of it? He was apparently going to narrate this new film, "Loose Change" (aka Loose Thinking) about how the whole 911 disaster was secretly planned by Halliburton, Uncle Sam, etc. Apparently, Charlie's getting cold feet and has asked for time to think it over. Hmm, lots to think about... I wonder if this is because he actually saw it for the first time (on You Tube), or more likely because of the negative feedback he's been getting from fans and people with any sense at all.
