"Ishmael Reed says in 'Mumbo Jumbo,' 'The real history of the world is a history of competing conspiracies.'"

OK. You can call me a Conspiracy Theorist if you call everyone else a Coincidence Theorist.

But n-o-o-o-o, only conspiracies are "theories." Well, that and Evolution.

Ya, right, if this is "Intelligent Design," what is a BAD idea?

I keep seeing all these so-called journalists barking at Conspiracy Theorists who think anything the government or the rich do could be less than benign.

You might get away with criticizing the government for stupidity or incompetence, but if you even hint at intent or intelligent design on their part, you're ONE OF THEM -- a Conspiracy Theorist.


Of course you could just take recent headlines and imagine saying them, say, even a year before they broke in the New York Times or the Washington Post, and who would have believed you then?

There you are before 9/11 saying: The President is deliberately manipulating intelligence reports to sell a war with lies.
