No evidence of what? I’m saying it makes no sense to try and link this to Lieberman’s political situation. **That’s the conspiracy theory** that was floated in GD. I think another one was that people were trying to tank the market.

I’ve got this really cool hat made out of tinfoil. It’s shaped like the Pope’s mitre, but has flaps that hang over your ears. The flaps filter out most of the voices, (keeps your ears toasty in winter, too!) The roll of duct tape I keep in my blacked out panel van next to the bag of cheap candy, beanie babies, and stun gun filters out the rest of the transmissions between the mother ship and the black helicopters. I could send you the instructions for assembly written in invisible ink, but then I’d have to kill you.

**Zuma** I’ll tell you what. If the guy who says he killed Jon Benet turns out to be true, I’ll pay your SDMB membership If not, you’ll pay mine.

I’m bumping a thread I wish I could just let die. I accept your challege. Looks like I spoke too soon and insulted a lot of people. I think I could have formed a pitting worthy of something other than ridicule, but I screwed up.

It’s looking like the Ramsey guy is just a nut, and I was wrong. DanBlather will probably have his subscription paid when its due.

I won’t apologise, as this is the pit, but I’ll own up to my own stupidity.

Dude, no problem. I won’t hold you to it. I’m tired of conspiracy talk as well, it’s just that the Ramsey confession isn’t one of them.

The fluoride they put in the water makes that impossible.

You’ll find a couple at the IMDb, just visit any form devoted to a 9/11 film.

Sure, there are many things that Bush says that make one go :dubious: , but the example in the OP is a good one-- The UK terror plot being exposed because of the “Liebrman situation”. That hypothesis just doesn’t stand up to even a cursory examination of the facts.

Stop persecuting people for being like Galileo, John!

On August 17th, Zuma was about to blow the consipiracy wide open.

On August 18th, Zuma makes a lame apology and says there never was any conspiracy.

Those Illuminati bastards got to him fast, didn’t they?

Your pitting of a post that purportedly is a non-pitting is puny patter. The pitter-patter of little keys. 😉
