Michael Moore says that 911 could have been an inside job. His idiotic comment about the difficulty of flying airplanes takes him into Rosie-stupidity territory.

[Update an hour or so later]

Speaking of the Stupid White Man, Kyle Smith is less than impressed with his latest crockumentary:

Even Moore does not believe what he says, and his films don’t bring about change-—union membership did not skyrocket nor corporate downsizing trickle off after "Roger and Me," there was no movement towards banning guns after "Bowling for Columbine," and John Kerry did not have to fill out any change of address forms in 2004. Moore's documentaries are mere political slapstick that could have been made by a third Farrelly brother or an eighth Stooge. I will pay him the honor of treating him with his own meds. How else can I deal with a film that calls Hillary Clinton "sexy"?

...takes him into Rosie-stupidity territory.

You just noticed?

Actually, I take it back. Michael Moore was and is far from stupid. He is a very successful con artist, and like all con artists he is smart. And I am sure he does not actually believe "truther" nonsense -- but he knows it goes well with his intended audience.

Just testing the waters for his new documentary no doubt.

There's got to be at least 100 video cameras ringing that building, in the trees, everywhere.

No.

Because, you know, if you know anything about flying a plane, if you're going 500 mph, if you're off by that much, you're in the river.

If you know anything about flying a plane, you'll realize hitting a building the size of the Pentagon is easier than landing on a runway.

See, I'm not very good at the physics and all that.

That's apparent.

I find it funny that this came out at the same time that Moooore came up with his new conspiracy belief.

Obviously, Purdue University is part of the conspiracy. The BusHitler administration probably threatened to cut off federal funds unless Purdue played the game.

My job does sometimes have its good side.

Today, I was treated to the sight of a female Black Bear and two cubs. She walked mabey 20 meters from me crossing the major recieving stream with her two new cubs just below the confluence with the stream I was assessing. I was reading some insturmentation and looked up and she was there! She was non-chalant and did not seem to worry at all about my presence. Even though I was over a mile from the nearest house I suspect somebody might have been feeding her as she was entirely too comfortable with my being there.

Once she had left, I realized I had forgotten I had a camera around my neck and cussed myself profusely for the oversight. This was truly the neatest bear encounter I have ever had and regret not having any pictures. Made my day!

I feel sorry for those who never learn the necessary fieldcraft to be at ease in the outdoors.

Hey Mike, I think you hit the wrong thread, but I've been in your shoes with the bear. My grandfather lived in a rod and gun club area on the side of Mt. Pocono. I remember the wildlife as if something from freakin' Snow White. Deer, wild turkey, chipmunks, and a bear with her cubs. The only thing was when I had to leave and big bear was sniffing near my rental car. No problem with me getting in the car, but I was concerned about the issurance situation when I started the engine and the bear reared onto its hind legs.

Yep, wrong thread.

If the British could hit the back of a dam wall through fog and without instruments using a rusty old lancaster, I'm damn sure that a trained CIA operative could hit the Pentagon with a 767.

Besides, we all know avgas can't melt steel.
