^ One of my neighbors claims "Fox News is the only news network that will actually tell the truth". Among his numerous gems of information: "Obama has never released any evidence of citizenship" and "it was unconstitutional for Obama to create the TARP program". I'd feel better if I didn't hear the same sorts of things repeated by others multiple times per week.
All information is biased, but Fox is hovering around the "willful deception" area. My opinion is that no news network is worthy of being a person's only source of information, but I meet far too many people who trust Fox and ignore everything else.
Rush isn't delusional, he's calculated. His intent, besides increasing his listener base, is to increase votes for conservatives. I don't think for a moment that he believes everything he says, but he sure has convinced many of his listeners (who I meet far too often).
Conservatives, unfortunately, have the home field advantage. It's much easier to scare people about the consequences of "new" legislation than it is to scare them about current practices. Rush's goal is to "hurt them and help us", regardless of where the facts stand. Some think he is detached from reality, but I'm fairly confident that he fully understands the nature of what he is doing.
...how the FUCK do you jump from unusual cloud = end of the world
People are stupid.
It wouldn't be unusual for people to think that. Heck, a couple days back a neighbor was telling me about how it can't be a coincidence that the would "is supposed to end in 2012", the same year that Obama will be running for re-election.
For observable phenomena, I think it goes something like this:
1. Unusual occurrence. 2. No immediate explanation. 3. ??? 4. God did it.
Indeed. I know that the guy in the truck that drove down the hill between the two bridges died... the video here cut out before the huge fireball erupted from the wreckage.
If I remember correctly, he had a seizure or went unconscious because of a diabetic situation.
Looks like he's on a dissociative (DXM, Ketamine, PCP, etc).
Lots of people get DXM through cough medicines (preferably without acetaminophen), so a few bottles could easily do that to a person. I wonder how much of that he remembers.
We already have plenty of areas where "enforcement" falls on the people rather than the police. Go to many high-density low-income neighborhoods and see how that has turned out.
When no police are around then the people will fill the vacuum, but the effect is not necessarily increased safety. Pray that you don't live near two opposing enforcement groups.

Several people undoubtedly died.
Indeed. I know that the guy in the truck that drove down the hill between the two bridges died... the video here cut out before the huge fireball erupted from the wreckage.

Kids, don't do drugs and then go to the store!
