Quote: Kevin Murphy @ December 21 2009, 5:21 PM GMTWhen Americans say "Only in America", they usually say it with pride, having seen a local boy done good or somesuch.
Everyone else in the world uses the phrase only when they see yanks acting like absolute f**king cretins.
That's true, we do that too though.

Prison justice:
DURHAM, NC (WTVD) -- ABC11 Eyewitness News has learned that Bernie Madoff was treated for serious injuries consistent with an assault.
Sources told ABC11 the disgraced financier was treated at Duke hospital in Durham last Friday and discharged earlier this week.
He is serving a life sentence at the federal prison in Butner.
According to sources, he had facial fractures, broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
Prison officials won't confirm that. They say the 71-year-old is in the medical clinic at the prison in Butner.
Madoff admitted to cheating investors out of billions of dollars. A judge sentenced him to 150 years earlier this year.

That's a damn shame.
Quote: DaButt @ December 11 2009, 6:37 PM GMTThey're going to carry out the largest controlled demolition of a concrete building Sunday and I won't be around to witness it. I live about 120 miles from there and I would have made the drive if I weren't in California.
It's a 31-story condo building on the beach which was never completed because it began sinking (up to 18 inches!) into the sand.

Nice video of the implosion:
Another demolition?

Larry Silverstein (owner of the World Trade Centers) admits on PBS to having demolished ("pull it") World Trade Center Building Seven.
I don't really understand. Did he previously say he hadn't?

Morrace (and the rest of the conspiracy theorists) are fond of that brief sound clip, but they tend to ignore the man's later clarification. But they do look spiffy in those shiny tinfoil hats ...
Pretty good blog for debunking this kind of nonsense.
Quote: DaButt @ December 24 2009, 6:07 PM GMT(and the rest of the conspiracy theorists)
A rather pedantic point, but a conspiracy is defined as a plot involving two or more people, isn't it? Hence, those who accept the official version of events are themselves conspiracy theorists. The Keane Commission report outlines a conspiracy theory, as accepted by the US government and most of the media.
All I will otherwise say is that a basic knowledge of the laws of physics makes much of the official story a pile of horse shit.
Merry Christmas everybody!
