I love a conspiracy theory, how about you?
Although this one isn't necessarily new -- lots of folks have opined about the convenient coincidence of an escalating so-called pandemic mixed with an under-supply of vaccinations while the country debates healthcare reform -- it's all the more delicious when it comes from a rock star of some note.
With that in mind, when singer, songwriter, and leader of the now defunct alternative band The Smashing Pumpkins suggests swine flu "is not a naturally occurring virus," and that "President Obama has declared a national emergency" when "there isn’t one," you have to pay attention just for the entertainment value alone.

Bingo. I thought Billy Corrigan was a lib. Maybe more people are opening their eye.
Judge David O. carter is not - he sold out his honor and manhood.
I guess Sting isn’t going to ask them to open for him anytime soon.
I thought Clancy was a conservative but he is a lib. Cast libs in all his movies.
Saw them in there first show in the US since 2000, Asheville, NC in June 2007 and it was fantastic. Sure, their new stuff sucked but the old stuff was incredible. Corgan has never regained the genius of Siamese Dream and MCIS but he still puts on a good show.
He actually mostly donates to Republicans. Vary rarely do authors and script writers get a lot of say in casting. They get a check for the rights to their work, that’s about it. (His address is the Huntingtown one below, I don’t know if the Baltimore is also him)
But I did enjoy what happened in the end to the greenies at the hands of the Rainbow Six team.
Ironically, that sounds like some of the “conservative” posters here at FR.
BC: “Hi, I’m Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins.”
HA: “Homer Simpson, smiling politely.”
Gish. GREAT album!
It’s been years since I’ve listened to that.
I’ll have to bust it out this weekend.
Thanks for the reminder!
I was thinking the same thing.
Getting worse lately.
I believe the Global Warming issue has made a lot of people overly skeptical of ‘science’ so they cling to anyone or anything that challenges conventional science, no matter how kooky. What they don’t see is the difference between so called science that attempts to play fortune teller- predicting the future, and real science that tests, analyzes, and actually has to make accomplishments regarding real life issues or problems. You see it far too often when people compare global warming science(sic) to vaccinations, etc.
I don’t hold that against anyone. We need to change minds in order to win.
I’ll say what I said on November 5th: The American people were given a choice between a radical leftist and a man who’s entire campaign was based on the idea that he’d ‘go across the aisle’ to work with radical leftists.
The American people, in electing Barack Obama, made the most quintessential of American decisions. They cut out the middle man and went right to the source.
Let’s worry from now on about giving people a PROPER choice rather than trying to berate them with a choice that really amounted to the evil of two lessers.
He’s a kook, but he’s smart enough to not trust the Federal Government. That puts him ahead of most non-kooks out there.
Some of his blog posts seem OK.

I really enjoy the music of the Smashing Pumpkins though.

Great way to sum up what happened and what needs to happen!
Despite all his rage, Billy is still just a rat in a cage...
To borrow a phrase: shut up and sing.
Not a RnR PING!
