Was George W. Bush our first Muslim president?

Over at Ask Geo, one of our sister blogs here at rrstar.com, a commenter who calls himself “gowader,” an occasional visitor to Applesauce, had this reaction to news that President Obama granted a long interview to Al-Aribiya, a Middle Eastern outfit (the mispunctuation and misspelling are his):
“What have we been saying all along!! Obama is a closet Muslem who has a hidden agenda to help destroy conservative America. When will you idiot liberals wake up????”
gowader (he doesn’t capitalize the first letter of his pseudonym) apparently is unaware that George W. Bush granted six interviews to Al-Aribiya during his presidency.

Why do nitwits think snowstorms and cold spells disprove global warming?

Internet news aggregator and gossip monger Matt Drudge is living proof of P.T. Barnum’s adage that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
Drudge loves to focus on news of heavy snow or record cold temperatures as indications that global warming theories are a hoax. And the booboisie all across the blogosphere readily follow Drudge’s cues, as we see HERE.
Media Matters CITES a classic Drudge example.

Why would anyone with half a brain pay heed to the advice of the people who got this country into the mess it’s in?
Bob Herbert WONDERS the same thing.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I believe wacky conspiracy theories. I just love the sheer nuttiness of them.
About eight or 10 years ago, there was a talk-show host on local radio who frequently made a big deal about the sinister plot to sap us of our precious bodily fluids through the use of what the loonies call “chemtrails” (above).
And now I note with delight that conspiracy theories about chemtrails are gaining ever WIDER CURRENCY.
Latest example of your “liberal” media in action
