The week in conspiracy (Christmas edition)

Even though I am officially on winter break, it turns out that irrational fear and paranoia never take a break.

Shit, I'm starting to sound like a PSA. Well, at least it gives me something to fall back on.

Anyway, this week brought forth new variations on the old stories that we are all so familiar with.

• Fox's pundits seem to have taken the attack on Prince Charles and Camilla in stride, by which I mean, panicking over the upcoming socialist revolution!
• Of course, Fox would never promote a transparently bogus conspiracy theory.
• Rahm Emmanuel has his own Birthers! Very cute. (With a shout out to my buddy John at Johnsebben.com for pointing this one out to me.)
• Birther who refused to deploy now faces 3 years in prison. Good.
• This one is...just odd. First Harvard spawns the Unabomber, now the LGBT pee-vandal.
• I'm dreading the upcoming conspiracy theories that will doubtlessly be spawned by Apollo 18, the film that will not take the hint that The Fourth Kind sucked and every associated with it should send me a personal apology in iambic pentameter.
• A vague sense of conspiracism suffuses this article written by the only old lady who uses the Internet. (I am, of course, assuming that all old ladies are just like my mom.)
• My favorite article title of the week: "When Brains are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Brains." Indeed. (From the notorious Canada Free Press.)
• Evil truth-suppressing judicial cabal dismisses charges against guy selling conspiracy theories in Dealey Plaza.
• David Aaronovich appears on the Lay Scientist to discuss a variety of conspiracy theories.
• Turns out Wikileaks was able to find Obama's Birth Certificate.
• Wikileaks Leaker Bradley Manning is a Fictitious Person. I mean, asks the author, where are the interviews of his parents? HMMM? Answer that one. Buahahaha!
• Wikileaks is populated by Jew-haters.
• Also, it is a Zionist conspiracy supported by the Mossad. If you don't understand how it can't be both, that's not my problem! :)
• I'm sorry. I take it back. My favorite title this week is, "Why they want to homosexualize the military."
• Nevada's GOP preoccupied with conspiracy theories.
• NASA confirms that David Icke is right: the moon is hollow. (I mean, the moon rings like a bell, and bells are hollow. QED, biatches!)
• Ooops! Scratch that Illuminati Jesuit conspiracy. It was actually the RAND Corporation planning to start WWIII. And they foolishly, as super villains often do, allowed full access of their super secret files to a total nutter.
• Age of Autism finds that John Stossel's brother has BIG PHARMA TIES! Declines to explain, So what?
• The Deadly Broccoli Uprising!
• Paul discovers my beat!
