Mark My Words - commentary on news, politics, religion, philosophy, science and social issues

Now this is something the Donald should sink his teeth into. Rosie O'Donnell is peddling 9-11 conspiracy lunacy on her blog. One has to wonder if Barbara Walters will allow this drivel on the View.

wtc 7 (thanks to Debbie Schlussel)

for the third time in history
fire brought down a steel building
reducing it to rubble

hold on folks
here we go
• The fires in WTC 7 were not evenly distributed, so a perfect collapse was impossible.
• Silverstein said to the fire department commander “the smartest thing to do is pull it.”
• Firefighters withdrawing from the area stated the building was going to “blow up”.
• The roof of WTC 7 visibly crumbled and the building collapsed perfectly into its footprint.
• Molten steel and partially evaporated steel members were found in the debris.

She goes on to imply that it was to cover up various investigations. If this is what hanging upside down results in, we need to bolt her feet to the floor before she infects others with this tripe.

Or as Heather, that gorgeous Kentucky woman I've quoted before, said to me:

loon. I guess it never occurred to her that perhaps that building with said offices in it could have been attacked b/c Al Qaeda knew that those offices and certain people were/would be there. Geez, buy a brain cell or something. I'm willing to donate one of mine.

If only it would be that easy. While Heather missed that it was about wtc7, with her off the cuff and justified slam of the Rosie, the point stands, there are other explanations other than conspiracy that are available. If we merely take the time to consider all of the evidence at hand, we can see there is no need for appealing to huge, secretive plots that rest mostly on creative story telling. Sadly, what I've seen here and here, with conspiracy theorists, reveals they care nothing for facts. Those previous posts already contain enough to deal with Rosie's silliness, so take the time to follow the links there.

It's rather interesting how she ends her blog post:

lets start here
ok…go slow
remember 2 breathe
use google

Remember 2 breathe? Yes, that would prevent oxygen starvation of the brain. Too bad Rosie didn't think to remind herself to do that before she typed out that post.

The View is bad enough as it is, now at least one member is a 9-11 conspiracy nut. Hard to believe, but daytime television just descended to even lower depths.
