P.S. I can imagine nothing more offensive today than screening the DVD of Loose Change 9/11, a film made by and for "truthers" who believe that the same administration that couldn't find its ass with both hands when Katrina hit a few years later had masterminded the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and orchestrated the ensuing coverup with the cooperation of hundreds of governmental employees and civilians.

To me, that is more disrespectful and defamatory than any joke could ever be. The "facts" presented have been refuted again and again by reputable means. But Dylan Avery, the man responsible for this abomination, should feel good about himself. After all, Charlie Sheen agrees with him. There's a ringing endorsement. Politics certainly does make strange bedfellows but with Charlie, be sure to use a condom. We know where he's been.
