    Where is that guy who refers to himself in his signature as my "nemesis" (even though I've taken more memorable shits than him). He was on here several months ago claiming in various posts that planes didn't really fly into the buildings (despite my standing on my roof watching the second plane hit) and that the buildings were knocked down on purpose, that building 7 was brought down by a demolition crew by Larry Silverstein after the initial buildings came down (despite the fact that the city was in panic and that every entry in and out was closed off, yet he believes they pulled dynamite and a demolition crew out of thin air) and various other attempts to discuss something that was real to so many people like it was a CGI effect he had just seen in a movie theatre. We really need this guy to tell me that pile of rubble and stench I spent three days a week on was a figment of my imagination.

    From NY Post:

    March 22, 2007 -- SOME celebrities don't know when to keep their traps shut - like Charlie Sheen and Rosie O'Donnell, who are throwing their weight behind the twisted theory that the United States government was behind the 9/11 terror attacks.

    Page Six has learned that Sheen, the hooker-loving Hollywood hunk, has agreed to narrate a new version of the loopy YouTube documentary "Loose Change," which claims that a corrupt faction within the federal government orchestrated the mass murder at the World Trade Center.

    Sources say Sheen - whose father, Martin Sheen, has been arrested 63 times protesting on behalf of various leftist causes - is in talks with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's Magnolia Pictures to distribute "Loose Change." Sheen has called for a new independent probe of the attack, telling Alex Jones' radio show: "It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75 percent of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions."

    Sheen's rep confirmed his participation. Cuban e-mailed us: "We are having discussions about distributing the existing video with Charlie's involvement as a narrator, not in making a new feature. We are also looking for productions with an opposing viewpoint. We like controversial subjects, but we are agnostic to which side the controversy comes from."

    Meanwhile, on her blog, O'Donnell has pasted in a widely debunked rundown of the collapse of 7 World Trade Center from the whatreallyhappened.com Web site, created by conspiracy theorist Matt Rivero.

    O'Donnell repeats his discredited theories, which include the notion that because the fires were not evenly distributed, it made the building's perfect collapse into its footprint "impossible that landlord Larry Silverstein told the FDNY that "the smartest thing to do is pull it," a phrase conspiracy theorists take to mean that he ordered the skyscraper's destruction; and that firefighters withdrawing from the building feared it was going to "blow up."

    O'Donnell's rep declined comment

    I would pay to see a Cuban-distributed 9/11 film, only to see how long it takes for him to blame David Stern.

    Paste is the chosen tasty treat of 9/11 conspiracy theorists.

    Especially those who raise my ire by failing to properly spell the word "eerie."

    I call bullshit on your "theory." I care NOT where you were standing. I have all knowledge on this topic. 9/11 is the work of Oompa Loompas. The little buggars just needed a way to send the world into a tizzy.

    The planes you saw hitting the building were really a result of drinking the "water" in Willie Wonka's chocolate river. ::)

    Seriously, how anyone can claim a conspiracy theory within the government, replete with all the other "details" they usually provide, is ridiculous. People like Ragu didn't just imagine these planes hitting the freaking building.

    One thing that has always bothered me is this. If they were truly Lone Gunmen, shouldn't they have been by themselves?
