Or Maybe It Was Bill Clinton Again...

From today’s Corner:
Plane Crash [Jonah Goldberg]
I just assumed someone else would’ve mentioned it already. But a plane has crashed into a building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Doesn’t sound like terrorism.

“doesn’t sound like terrorism” [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
I always assume it is until it is proven otherwise.

Because paranoia makes life so much more interesting, and adds meaning to a rather sad, pitiful existence.

Anyway, until it’s proven otherwise, I think that we should all assume that New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidie was piloting the plane which is registered to him, that he died in the crash, that he is an al Qaeda mastermind, and that only the Steely-eyed Rocketman prevented him from killing you and your children as you went about your daily activities today.

Annie Jacobsen will know exactly why the plane went down. Why has no one in the terrorist-coddling pinko press gotten hold of her? Is the code of silence more important than our national security?
Sweet Auntie Fanny, what the hell else does K-Lo always assume until proven otherwise? A few more rational suggestions:
1. I can fly. By flapping my wings.
2. Cauliflower is actually a clever PCP delivery system.
3. Pierre Salinger was right. The first time.
4. There’s a million dollars in my bank account. Oh yeah? Prove it.
5. Mitt Romney is hot. Really.
6. Tin foil is an attractive headcovering in church.
7. George Dubya Bush, who is also hot, won two elections for president entirely fairly.
8. Dinesh D’Souza and Ben Stein are smart. No, really. Really. No, really. Really, really.
9. I should absolutely be paid to tell people what’s on my mind.
The Doughy Pantload and the K-Lo activated their wonder-twin powers in the form of idiocy, and saved the day once again.
Superheroes rule.
Are you sure you didn’t mean to say “wonder TWIT powers”, lemonheads?
D. Sidhe, tin foil actually is a good and attractive headcovering if you get forced or tricked into going into a Roman Catholic Church. Teh parishioners will avoid you, you’ll have a pew to yourself, and you won’t have to do that creepy handshaking/hugging thing. I did this last time one of my cousins got married. Didn’t have to kiss or hug any of my uncles, either. And I still got just as drunk at the reception.
Damned Yankees!

Wonder where she gets that paranoia from?
