1. Actually begining with the Bush inauguration in January 2001....
...hasn't virtually everything that has happened under the Bush administration been either MIHOP or LIHOP? The deepening recession, over 10 million high paying jobs lost from America forever, tax cuts for the very rich, military build up, increased diplomatic tensions around the world, Iraq invasion with no plan for peace, smear campaigns against all republican opponents, the outing of CIA secret operatives, voting fraud and vote theft, and on and on and on. So why not MIHOP or LIHOP on the events of 9-11?

2. Jillette should be the silent one.
From a recent blog post:

Cocksureity seems the hallmark contradiction of such skeptics. Stage magician Penn Jillette is such a one. He says that people should "learn to carry their intelligence the way James Dean carried his cigarette." In other words, as an affectation.

Jillette could have said the way Peabody carried his bowtie, but it wouldn't have been as cool.

3. i missed much of the moon show
but i saw a show on 911.He dismissed LIHOP and MYHOP ..hes under the belief like you,me and the rest of america bush was shocked and surprised..Most of his bullshit shows are on the money.Tonight he debunked miraclous "jesus and mary" immages appearing on grilled cheese sandwiches and in a door stain .The 'Amazing Randi" said,nothing can dissuade a believer from what they see.Penn showed a pic where people would look to see "deity's".All were shocked to learn the pic was 5 slices of head cheese..I like penn and teller,dont always agree their just entertaining...just MHO

5. they also think there's no such thing as an endangered species:
they're with CATO, which is featured in the "Toxic Waste is Good for You" books.
