#1 I suspect the 'seed' for that article can be found somewhere credible, though likely in a less scary form: one could go look for it.

#2 An absence of due diligence. My apologies.

#4 We don't do paranoia. That means no black helicopter citations.

While my Inner Lunatic is mildly disappointed, ya gotta focus on the mission.

Ima seeing a need for Nutburg.com, but I suspect someone has beat me to it.

#5 Yeah, SteveS, just go check out Pravda. There have been some recent examples of the Ruskies attempting to appear as if they're making sense. But upon closer examination it had a strong odor of nutty, state sponsored propaganda, kinda like ABC.

#6 You deny your Inner Lunatic at your own peril.

#7 I have mixed feelings about these sites. There's some stuff they cover that doesn't get covered in the mainstream press, but it comes with an enourmous amount of baggage, almost like they're trying to tell the truth in such a way as to discredit it at the same time.

#9 Does this mean I have to turn in my tinfoil hat?

#10 Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they are NOT out to get me.

Now, since we're talking yellow journalism, there is this from the National Enquirer. But remember, National Enquirer is the rag that went after John Edwards for his philandering with Rielle Hunter. Ordinarily I wouldn't bother you with such nonsense but I was standing in a super market checkout line and it caught my eye.

#12 You deny your Inner Lunatic at your own peril

I don't deny my Inner Lunatic. I just tell it I want at least three corroborating sources before I take it seriously.

#13 That left a nasty [but well deserved] mark :-(

#14 Pappy, I never seem to have a problem those who agree with my inner lunatic - the problem is finding those who don't.

#15 I prefer the Weekly World News, and I'm pig-biting mad that it's no longer in print.
