It's only a matter of time before that link shows up here on Blogit as "proof" of Dick Cheney being a lizard shapeshifter.

mysteria - Re: gome this blog has a hella lotta visitors
There are some blogs that have had a lot more visitors but I can say that this blog is read by a few people. I had to do something concerning email, if you can imagine, I've had a few that border on insanity.

cantey_1975 - Re: youtube
It boggles the mind that someone can think that a website with user contributed content can be used as a reference source. Yet we have seen this numerous times here on Blogit. The NWO link I provide in this post was actually emailed to me by someone that was scared to death that it was real.

Talion_ - I've often referred to this as the "misinformation age"
But I'm still surprised when someone attempts to back their contentions with some bogus website. Many of these people do not know the basic criteria for citing reference, let alone know what a credible reference source is.

The Internet has made "research" too easy. In the old days, when we had to get off our duffs and actually go to a library, and open a book, it was a lot harder to be taken in by the crackpots. Anyone can start a website claiming proof of the unsubstantiated and unfortunately, more often than not, they do.
