Eat It, Rosie

World Trade Center 7 Report Puts 9/11 Conspiracy Theory to Rest from Popular Mechanics via Instapundit

Apparently fire can melt steel. Who knew? What I find particularly amusing (aside from allowing additional light to be shed on general the idiocy that is Rosie O'Donnell, and enabling the use of the subject line above...) is the idea that's been included in pretty much every article I've read on this findings in this report, as in this headline, that the findings will put 9/11 conspiracy theories to rest.

Are they joking? Have you met some of these people hawking these theories, or read some of the theories in question? These people, and I include the above-mentioned Rosie in this group, have very little concept of reality, or need of "facts" to actually back up their theories. Therefore, I have no idea why a report is supposed to put these theories to rest. The majority of the Truthers out there blame 9/11 on our own government. Is a government-conducted investigation expected to mollify these idiots? Not that I really care whether they're mollified or not, I'm happy to let them waste their time and money perpetuating this craziness, just found it amusing that the media seems to believe that the report will have any affect whatsoever on these people. And I like writing "mollify." Good word.
