Subject:	How To Be A Truther In Five Easy Steps
Time:	08:32 am

1) Hate the Right. This is essential. It's not enough to have an intensely irrational black-helicopter fear of the Right, you need to hate them, even if it's only a deeply buried passive-aggressive hatred.

2) Repeat the phrase "something just doesn't add up" a lot. Hey, stuff usually doesn't add up when you're using Leftist math, as opposed to Rightist math because, hey man, THE RIGHT IS SUBVERTING MATH.

3) Cultivate "the look." "The look" is key in being taken seriously. Little black-rimmed glasses are best, oval is good, rectangular is better. This look says "I am a thoughtful, intellectual person, and probably bisexual. You should listen to me and take me seriously because I probably have a college education and listen to Saint Michael Moore."

4) Fail basic physics. If you don't know anything about the melting point of steel, you can score big points with your postmodernistic, arty, lit-geek friends. Just don't let any of those pesky science nerds spoil your fun, and you should be okay.

5) Release a YouTube video explaining why things don't add up because, hey man, THE RIGHT IS SUBVERTING MATH.
