Lazy ass fact checking

I know it's cruel but sometimes I just can't help myself.

From yesterday's Resistance Is Futile Sunday offerings:

But there were no WMD... 500 tons of yellowcake Uranium...

1.8 tons of partially enriched Uranium...

Centrifuges...

Blueprints...

Bomb-making parts...

New construction at known WMD facilities...

Sarin gas...

Mustard gas...

Mobile biological weapons labs...

300,000 of his own people killed by chemical weapons...

But there were no WMD and there was no imminent threat...

I didn't leave out a link. The author never provided one. It appears on the blog, as you see it above.

So being me...I left a comment:

Source citation...?

(rolling eyes)

Here's the reply:

typical liberal answer. I AM THE AUTHORITY. I spent 6 years working in a USAF nuclear research laboratory for the sole purpose of identifying foreign WMD capability. MY SOURCES ARE CLASSIFIED.

However, if you want to see someone else print it, try going a simple Google search for "yellowcake uranium iraq" or any other key words you desire.

MY JOB IS NOT TO FACT CHECK FOR YOUR LAZY ASS.

The burden is on you to prove me wrong, not on me to prove me right.

So I lazy assed fact checked:

George W. Bush is a rapist who eats the heads off of live chickens when the moon is full. I can't tell you how I know this. But I'm an authority because I say so.

MY SOURCES ARE CLASSIFIED

(It sounds just as dumb coming from you, incidentally)

The burden is on you to prove me wrong, not on me to prove me right.

Prove my assertions about Bush wrong. It's not my job to fact check your lazy ass.

(Getting more dumb all the time, isn't it?)

Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
