- Applied kinesiology.
- Believing that dolphins enjoy being molested and that you are "connecting" with them.
- Paying 50% more for "whole" food.
- Crap circles.
- An economy based upon flipping stocks of companies that have no discernible revenues but plenty of "eyeballs."
- An economy based upon flipping houses.
- Technical analysis. By using the word "technical" it sounds really scientific, when in reality it's no different than reading tea leaves. If technical analysis works, why isn't everyone rich? If it worked, all we would have to do is trade based upon the fantasy signals that are generated. (TxChic57 and I used to get into long arguments about this. She chalked up her success to using various trading "tools" like Bollinger bands. I pointed out the fact that anyone posting on the Housing Bubble Blog in 2005 was savvy enough to make sound investing decisions and you didn't need psuedo-scientific mumbo jumbo to recognize that we were sitting upon an enormous bubble.)
- Astrology.
- Anything Alex Jones rants about.
- Keith Olbermann.
- Rush Limbaugh.
- Chariots of the Gods?
- Whitley Strieber and the whole "alien abduction" nonsense that got addle-headed people so frightened in the late 1980s.
- Hal Lindsey.
- Schmucks who refuse to get their kids vaccinated.
- Truthers, birthers, peak oilers.
- Adults who still believe in "ghosts."

Kook Trails.
Religion.
Believing anything any politician says, ever.
Man made global warming.
Peak oil.
I think I've just alienated just about all of the dozen people who read my blog. :-)
Casey Serin believes in every item on that list.
Emotionology!
Emotionology is good, although it is only practiced by deceased Canadian alcoholics.
I have a number of astrologer friends here from way back and I hope I didn't piss you off. :-)
Mutual funds. If you can't *consistently* beat an index fund, then why am I paying you anything at all other than postage to mail me a statement?
Homeopathy - it's WATER!
The TSA - the best way to make a future terrorist attack more difficult is *not* to train your population to become subdued little barefoot orders-followers.
"Amazon" John Easterling has to be on the list
an excerpt:
"Foods actually carry a homeopathic element. This element is present in all foods, herbs, supplements or anything you ingest into your body.
It is imprinted onto those foods and supplements by the people who come into contact with them during harvesting, production and marketing. And so it is the intention, mindset and character of these individuals that become imprinted in these products that we ultimately absorb into the cells of our body. Therefore, if we consume nutritional supplements that are manufactured by companies with nothing more than a profit motive, then we absorb the energy of greed (along with the chemical constituents of those nutritional supplements).
In contrast, if you take an herb that has grown in its native natural environment, that has been harvested with care and with sacred intention by those who consider that land to be their home and by people who impart positive intentions onto that plant, and then if that plant is prayed over and imprinted with even more positive intention, and then finally packaged and marketed by a company that also has positive intentions because of the character of its founder, then you have a very different nutritional supplement than the supplement from the greedy company, even if these two supplements contain the exact same chemical constituents. There's a lot more to supplements than just what's listed on the label."

Not at all Lou.
It was hillarious and spot on.
For me it is reiki all the way for biggest sham.
Don't forget Rachel Maddow. By the way, Lou - I once saw a ghost, and I am about the most sober person you'll ever meet. I mocked those who believed in them until it happened to me.
Well, I still mock them. But I pause before doing so.
Anybody who has ever read this blog knows you are too nice to seriously alienate anybody. Yer just goofin'.
Oh yes one more, anything that Kevin Trudeau is hawking.
Oh man, Kevin Trudeau. Don't get me started.
How about Acutonics.
Heard about it from Penn & Tellers show.
Total scam.
can you add "infinite oilers" to your list?
