Random Thoughts: Thor, Cosby, and Conspiracies

The trailer for the new Thor movies make it look… comparable to the first one. So “meh.”

Can’t wait, though, to once again hear Thor’s catchphrase: “Hammer to the face!”

Suggested headline: “Min Baucus”

Seemed like “news” backwards would have been a really good password for the AP twitter account.

In search of something we can watch with Buttercup in the room, we’re now watching the Cosby Show on Hulu. It is really really good.

The Cosby Show also gives me this big “nostalgic for the good old days” feeling.

For my generation, the 80s are the “good old days”, the 90s the “pretty okay days”, and after that… well, smart phones are nifty.

New gun bill: Anyone who buys a gun gets a tax credit for being awesome.

Wait, they were acting like gay marriage was this inevitable, progressive thing and France hadn’t even legalized it yet?

I don’t think many conspiracists really believe their conspiracies. That’s why they do the “just asking questions” when pressed.

They know if they follow it to the logical conclusion, it’s insane, so they avoid following their ideas to the logical conclusion.

None of this is to imply that Obama isn’t a Kenyan-born Muslim.

It’s a good thing Obama wasn’t really injured in a bombing; the White House had to drop his health coverage because of Obamacare (paying the fine was cheaper).

The only conspiracies I tend to believe are ones about people in government trying to cover up their incompetence.

  1. Again, Frank, you fail to address why “asking questions” is such a problem. (Twitter-sized snarks do not count.)

    Again, I, humbly, in non-lip-flipping fashion, ask how, if one does not question, how does one separate the intellectual meat from the gristle?

    This seems to be the crux of your dilemma.

  2. You know Hollywood is having a hard time finding anyone with new ideas at this present time, right? People who can write clear sentences, without vulgarities, spell, punctuate and oh yes read. Our fine educational system has finally hobbled the reality resistant factory. How about that.

  3. So just asking questions is all but if the Build-a-Bear group is in league with Meyer-Goldman-Meyer and Sax from 5th Avenue, then do the Illuminati have control of Da Bears or do Da Bears have control of the polar icecaps? And why do high ranking government officials keep saying that being furloughed is hurting all of the penguins if china does not have a space program? So I ask, is the global warming hoax real or just YGDFT!YLTARTSOTE? Just askin

  4. @6:

    Plenty, as Keln was told in the Purge thread, you dared to ask questions. That, according to post-purge regime policy, is default proof of crackpot-nutjob-tinfoil hattery.

    Prepare to be fitted for a clean white coat with rear-fastening, extra-long sleeves and carted off to Premier Frank’s Question-Free Gulag For Non-Interrogatory Mental Rehabilitation.

  5. The only conspiracies I tend to believe are ones about people in government trying to cover up their incompetence.

    What does it matter?!!!1! People are dead, and all you can do is focus in on the entirely inconsequential question of whose fault it was. How uncaring! How callous! How inconvenient!

    Only Republicans need cover-up conspiracies; Dems just deliver their Talking Points to the press corps, and the King’s Guard takes it from there. Why cover it up when the press will turn a blind eye to what is in plain sight?
