A serious question

Does the Air Force really think terrorists blog?

What's this really about?

UPDATE: Social-networking expert Valdis Krebs thinks he has the answer.

Lex, I understand the USAF is using their Black Helicopters to conduct this intel gathering...you'd better put a new layer of tin foil on your beanie.

Lex said:

Students of history are going to laugh someday when they review how the citizenry went all paranoid about government during the Clinton years (Remember when and how the phrase "black helicopters" originated? Mena? Vince Foster's "murder"?) while completely ignoring the quite real, quite factual overstepping of the executive branch since, at least, September 2001.

So put that in your beanie and smoke it, jaycee. You're entitled to your own opinion, but not, as Patrick Moynihan famously observed, your own facts.

jaycee said:

History is already calling Clinton one of the most immoral and corrupt presidents in the past 100 years.
President Bush will be remembered as the man that confronted 8 disastrous years of Clinton's fumbles and resurrected our country to decency and worldwide respect as a leaeder of freedom throughout the world.

Lex said:

No kidding. Got a link to any kind of documentation for that "most immoral and corrupt president of the past 100 years" claim? A link, that is, to reputable scholars of presidential history and not WorldNetDaily columnists or their ilk. Thanks.

jaycee said:

Why should I provide proof to you, Lex? Every time I do you either pooh-pooh it as "right wing blather" or question the source or question my integrity. You can't handle the truth, so why bother telling it to you?

Lex said:

shorter jaycee: "Waaaaahhh! Lex won't let me make stuff up on his blog! Waaaahhh!"

jaycee said:

Dude, you crack me up.

Jay Ovittore said:

jaycee,

What are you smoking? I might want some. What ever it is, is making you delusional. Oh...I get it, you must be smokin Fox news. Sorry, I understand now.

jaycee said:

Naysay if you will, but Bush has done more good for this world than Clinton (either one, take your pick) will ever do.

Bubba said:

jaycee, have you noticed that Lex has become testier lately? What was it that set him off?

Lex said:

Bubba, if you think this is testy, then, in the immortal words of the great and wise philosopher Tweety Bird, you don't know me very well.

jaycee said:

Naw, he's not any testier than normal.
You just gotta know how to push his buttons.

Lex said:

Well, aren't we the perfect little dysfunctional family.

Bubba [TypeKey Profile Page] said:

We're too mean to him, jaycee. Let's treat him a little better.

jaycee said:

Obvious self-esteem issues.
Little-man syndrome.
Pity.
