9/11 Truther Loses Millions

Unfortunately, a couple of hundred sane people are also losing out (from Morning Jolt):

Some good news to close out the week: A 9/11 Truther just lost millions. "If you're outraged by Charlie Sheen's interviews today, here's one fact that might make you feel better: The actor won't get paid for the axed Two and a Half Men episodes. Sources say Sheen will not receive his estimated $1.2 million per-episode salary for the remaining four half-hours that CBS had commissioned from Warner Bros. (There were originally eight episodes left in the season, but CBS reduced the order after the show went on a production hiatus so Sheen could seek treatment.) Sheen is currently ranked the highest-paid actor on TV."

By the way, if my job was to stand around in front of cameras looking pretty unhealthy, recite some tired punch lines, and then collect a $1.2 million check each week, it is possible that I, too, might become a jerk of epic proportions.

I've only seen one or two episodes of Two and a Half Men, and in every one of them, it seemed like every punchline was easier to see coming than Halley's Comet.

I'm with Jim Geraghty - I've only seen maybe two episodes of the show and found them generally insufferable. Sheen is clearly on an ego-maniacal bender and not only took himself out of a pretty sweet deal, but has put the 200 or so people working on the show out of a job as well.  It's pretty clear he doesn't much care about that.

My guess is he'll be found dead with his underwear around his ankles in some sleazy apartment before too long.
