my favorite is from Colorado Springs, where they turned off street lights in front of homes who didn't pay the fee or whatever, only to have meth heads strip all the copper from the lights since they were unpowered

Also - pitch dark so no one could see it happening, and even if they did the police were so underfunded and thinly stretched they wouldn't send anyone out for such a minor 911 call.

They ended up spending 10x what they "saved".

LOL.

This is the second time at least Quilette has published an obvious fraud. Who was that rear end in a top hat that claimed he was working for the Blair Foundation?

They probably did, and are just lying to save face.

Edit: although if their standards for contributors really are that lax, someone who's good at writing should see what else they can be tricked into publishing.

The hoaxer had planned to create a persona that he could use to pitch essays other right-wing websites, intending to expose them for falling for his trick.

For real though it's surprising that leftists don't ratfuck the right more often like that, though I guess we live in a world where conservatives don't just say the quiet part loud, they blast it through megaphones, so there's really nothing to parody or expose.

The Sokal thing worked because there was an audience for it that valued accuracy in citation. He later apologized for going after a left journal and wrote a book about how climate deniers employed relativism.
