Conspiracy Theory of the Day

So as I told a bunch of people back in January, to look for Iran to be the next target in the global war on terror, it seems to be coming to fruition. But not for the reasons most people think about.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Oil_Bourse

By opening up an oil bourse and trading oil in Euros, the US will start to lose the petrodollar funding that our country depends upon. I predict that we will be at war with Iran by the end of the year or early next year.

Separation of Church and State

Just like Todd Akin (an elected representative) trying to immerse our government in religion, Jerry Falwell is doing the samething from the other side. Maybe we should take any tax exempt status he has and remove it. For the last time people, POLITICS AND RELIGION DO NOT MIX. To see how well they mix all you have to do is look at any kind of extremist group like the Taliban or the right wing agenda of Todd Akin. Falwell acknowledges Clinton comment - Yahoo! News

Any surprise?

The conspiracy theory of today... So with only 1 month to go before the November elections, is it any surprise that the price of oil is declining? Isn't it quite convenient that the price is going down right before the elections? Hmmmm. Somehow it just seems too coincidental. See what happens come February. I'll bet that they go through the roof. Oil dips below $60; gas now at $2.38 - Yahoo! News

What:   What is Harfestivus?
The battle of elves and underpants gnomes lasted for centuries, until an
elf that had fallen
down a well was rescued by a drunken underpants gnome.

The elf's underpants were stolen during the process, but a life long friendship
had begun.
The gnome went on to achieve great profits.

This friendship created a truce that eventually led to an everlasting peace
soon engulfed the land.

He has not read Orwell

Ummm, a correction, Orwell was talking about the state intruding upon people's lives, not the other way around. This seems like another attempt by a right wing fanatic to garner more votes from the freaky Christian Conservatives. Just leave us alone already.
