Most of this article is grist for Art Bell's bull-mill. Toss in sasquatch, the Face on Mars, and UFOs and you'll have a complete set.

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Someone is trying to lay the groundwork to accuse the US of causing the earthquake in Iran.

That gives me an idea. Let’s have the Pentagon start a rainstorm over the Afghan mountains that keeps going for 40 days and 40 nights. Then when Mullah Omar and Osama Bin Laden get into their ark, we can nuke them with manmade lightning.

I never knew we had these weapons, but if a person with a PhD title says so, it must be true.

A Darth Nader voter in 2000 and an anyone-but-Bush voter in 2004. She's probably an ugly, fat b*tch, as well.

Well, it was inevitable. The tree-hugging peace pukes have run low on fresh boogeymen, so they're attempting to vilify the armes forces now. And I'll bet that these deluded malcontents will actually try to get the military to make their tanks and planes 'greener'!!!!!!!!!! Oh, where's a stray Daisy Cutter when you need it? >:-)

Need to gear up for next years funding request from the Congress. The Chicken Little Industry is big business these days.

[MediaMole]

Start digging, there has to be a pony somewhere.

[vladog]

The twits at DU seem to think so. That's where I found the link to this story. I was looking for an "Evil That People Do" post for my site. Sure enough I found it.

I should have given a tin-foil-hat warning here on FR.

[exnavy]

LOL You called that one, nailed it.

"Someone is trying to lay the groundwork to accuse the US of causing the earthquake in Iran."

Check out what they're talking about on DU.

According to her, the military has got away scot-free from responsibility for polluting the environment and ecological disasters.

It is hard to enforce your will on the winners of a war.

And shouldn't it be, "...has gotten?"

[headsonpikes]

Don't tell me - this whack-job is Howard Dean's science advisor!

[thoughtomator]

Well, if one were ever tempted to take them seriously over there, that should clear up all doubts! Absolutely amazing... seems that more than half of them are buying into the crackpot.

...says Dr Rosalie Bertell, renowned scientist and nuclear activist.

Nevah hoid of her.

More of a familiar refrain.

[optimistically_conservative]

Nevah hoid of her.

Really? She's famous in the UN/feminist/commie circles. How could you miss her? </sarcasm>
