Moonbat

So, this interesting conspiracy theory video was in my inbox. Actually, it was a few days ago that it appeared but have been attempting to appear focused and responsible. Video appears to be produced by a UK-based organisation (from web address) and questions the claim validity of 9/11's Flight 77 being reported object that slammed into the Pentagon.

Anyhoo, when one decides to send a potentially controversial item, esp. when one has not taken time or effort to investigate origins, political leanings of origins, paper or plastic preference of origins, alternative video statements that vaporisation of a plane at 500mph is entirely possible (since one is supposed to be frenentically writing. and not on one's blog. smirk.), or really anything of substance at all re: origins, one should be prepared to be called a moonbat, i suppose.

Subsequently, term moonbat came into question by the British contingent (Matthew and Eamonn). Southerners LOVE creating double names and compound nouns, you know.

My version of semantics behind said term is: brainless creature spreading inane theories from UK-based loonies.
Wikipedia (props Eamonn) version: political epithet, originally known as 'Barking Moonbat'; often refers to proponents of conspiracy theories.

Readers may be amused by Barking Moonbat (from whence above image was borrowed). Or not, as the case may be.

And, Al, you really think I should be worried about that black helicopter that appears over the hill every time I go out the front door?

Now, must get ready for go-carting! As one does.
