"POSSIBLE"

Is it possible that the Bush administration commissioned the 9/11 attacks? Lots of Germans are willing to say, "yes." See the coverage at the Newsrack Blog, here, and Dormouse Dreaming, here.

I hate these kinds of questions. Is it "possible" that the moon is made of cheese? Well, if you're willing to entertain the brain-in-the-vat hypothetical, then, yes, it's "possible." Lots of things are possible, depending on how low a threshold you're willing to set and how literal you're willing to be.

On the other hand, Anita thinks I'm too literal. She might be right.
