Culture Buzz Don’t just talk about conspiracies to your children, let them play with them. You’ve got to start the indoctrination process young.
Culture Buzz A whole cabal of conspiracy theories and perceived discrepancies surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden. Between this and Obama's birth certificate, the conspiracy mill has been cranking out crazy like it's going out of style.
In case that's not immediately apparent on the first listen. I maybe would have turned down the autotune a little bit for such a serious, provocative song, but that's my only real criticism of RB's profound analysis of one of America's most devastating historical events. (Via)

Brain eating vaccines are here and it's all part of a government conspiracy to lobotomize the general public and rewire our brains into subservience. If you believe this, you deserve to be lobotomized.

I've decided to post a partial transcript of one of a number of taped conversations in which Rob Richer and I discussed, on the record, the Habbush letter. We discussed it many times through the spring of 2008.
Yes, that would be aliens in the extraterrestrial sense. Says Dan: They're out there, but they're not ruining the country. Cocaine is. (To which i say: 1. People in glass houses 2. This is all a joke, yes?)
Music Buzz Gawker's Alex Pareene pointed out a persistent and alarming conspiracy theory that claims Andrew W.K., he of partying fame, does not exist. Instead, the theory claims that a number of actors have posed as Entity Andrew W.K. over the years since 2001. Gawker does not believe the theory, but you should judge for yourself. This is kind of perplexing.
BIRTHER ALERT: Obama had a fake ID when he was 10 (because he couldn't get a real one in “Hawaii,” obv). He used it to get into R-rated movies, which is Step One in the 12-step terrorist program.
Glen Beck explains how the Rockefeller building, and the son of the oil tycoon, was a communist fascist. In an awesome twist, he also proves that Obama is a fascist communist (who probably also flagellates himself for the catholic church or something).
Whatever happened to to the innocent days, when eight-year-olds examined each other's bodies without the implications of government-sanctioned propaganda? Also, let's never put a surgical mask on a child. It just makes the world sadder.

Indisputable etymological evidence that Barack Obama is the antichrist predicted in the Bible. The amount of retrofitting work that goes into a piece like this is really something special. This is like five-star quality sophistry. I love it. There's more on this growing antichrist conspiracy theory at Salon.com.

Culture Buzz Three nearly invisible drawings were discovered on the back of a 500-year old Leonardo Da Vinci painting, “The Virgin and Child with St. Anne”. Conspiracy theorists around the world are busy dusting off their 'Da Vinci Code' books and scouring for clues. Skulls! Horse heads! What does it all mean?!

AP - The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at birth. An equal-opportunity conspiracy theorist, Leo Donofrio contends that John McCain and Socialist Workers candidate Roger Calero are also ineligible to serve. Another dude from Pennsylvania still has a suit before the court claiming that Obama was born in Kenya, or possibly in Indonesia, but definitely not America.
Politics Buzz An investigation into allegations that U.S. intelligence officers have intercepted, recorded, and shared hundreds of phone sex calls between U.S. citizens is underway. That part about eavesdropping on phone sex calls must have been the juicy part no one got to in the Patriot Act.
Politics Buzz The PBS anchor has mysteriously broken her ankle just days before she’s set to moderate the upcoming vice presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. Ifill reportedly slipped and fell down her stairs at home, making this a very unfortunate happenstance that just stinks of some old Republican Party Stair Grease. Conspiracy theorists…have at it!
Sports Buzz Did Michael Phelps actually lose the 100M butterfly final? Or did he deserve his (briefly contested) seventh gold medal in the 2008 Olympics? An anonymous writer at 001ofasecond.com claims Phelps benefited from an Olympic conspiracy because the event’s official timekeeper, Omega, is a Phelps sponsor. The theory is written in delightfully broken English and peppered with ad hominem attacks.

Culture Buzz When the body of the Private First Class was returned to her parents in Missouri from Iraq, LaVena Johnson’s father called bullsh*t on the Army’s claim that her death was the result of a suicide. Footage clearly indicates that, in reality, Johnson was likely beaten, raped and murdered (in fact, a trail of blood was photographed outside her tent). The Army, however, has refused to provide further information regarding the case, proving that, even in an “army of one,” it’s not hard for a soldier to be easily forgotten if she isn’t a white male (or, better yet, a star football player).
