Conspiracy Nuts Abducted by Aliens
I’m ready to believe anything about those conspiracy theorists who are ready to believe anything.
Tuesday, HuffPost had a headline, “The 12 Weirdest Right-Wing Conspiracies of 2009.” The story’s lead told about Michele Bachman’s latest — a claim that Obama would use the new census to “round up the opposition.” The story said this time she was being too weird even for Glenn Beck, and offered a video of an interview to prove it.
And that’s it. No further copy. But there is a link, “Right-Wing Conspiracies,” repeated three times, so I clicked on that — and up comes a blank page.
Eleven weird right-wing conspiracy mongers, vanished without a trace. Death panels, communist takeovers, evil acorns, gun confiscations, Obama birth certificates issued by non-existent countries – all gone. Like those cases where a person’s footprints go out into a field and stop.
Coincidence?
Sure hope they stay lost. Happy New Year, and don’t lose track of The Horse You Rode In On.
