Margaret Atwood thinks moon landing might have been a hoax (audio)

Yes, we have actual audio in which Margaret Atwood wonders if, like, Capricorn One was a documentary.

This is the same woman who wrote a novel in which “fundamentalist born again Christians” take over North America and enact bizarre sex rituals based upon a single line in the Old Testament nobody but her had ever paid any attention to before (let alone so badly misinterpreted.)

An award-winning novel that’s required reading by Canadian students and presented as a prediction of events that could transpire at any moment, even though the novel came out before they were born.

Margaret Atwood also solemnly signed a petition calling for the banning of an alternative Canadian tv channel, even though the petition managed to get the very name of the channel, and its owners, completely wrong.

And she’s absolutely certain that George W. Bush was a dangerous doofus.

You were saying, Ezra…?
