Why do people listen to Mr. Jones? Well, I listen to him because he backs up everything he says with publicly accessible documents. Moreover, he dares his audience to confirm the facts by doing the research for themselves. I strongly recommend "Terrorstorm" to all. Great documentary. Fact filled. There is nothing funny about the Bilderberg group and the purposeful devaluation of the dollar, among other things... Check it: inforwars.net

It's really just his delivery that puts it over the edge for me. People want to believe half of the theories Alex presents because of their distrust of the government and the illogical excuses given for 9/11. But more often than not there is a tangible level of lunacy in his rants. Not quite to a Perry Logan disturbance level http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Awards/BestOfAustin_Category?seentheform=1&BOACategory=Media&Year=2004&Poll=Critics but it undermines his message and makes it laughable. In a perfect world, I imagine Alex Jones uncovering the truth for everyone with the smooth, gameshow host-like public speaking skills of Joel Osteen.

Some day i should tell you the funny story about a dinner party I went to in which Kevin Booth (bill hicks manager), Joe Rogan, Ken Lieck, and Alex Jones were a part of...oh indeed. I get excited about your weekly posts as I did about Blue States Lose (though for an entirely different reason). Do you blog elsewhere?

Jones is no Bill Hicks.

***SPOILER ALERT*** Jefferson and Hamilton ended up secret BFFs, grew pot in their backyards, and smoked out all the Freemasons. I have no problem with some of Jones' ideas - that in general many of our personal liberties are being taken away and that elements of our government act in illegal ways - it's his evidence I usually have a problem with.
