Seeing all the pics of Rick's office, hat and car (damn funny, by the way), made me remember my conversation yesterday with my ex-wife. (We’re still on good terms, so we chat from time to time.) Her boyfriend is one of these conspiracy theorists… only he’s not really smart enough to come up with his own conspiracies, so he just buys in to ones other people have come up with.
So she tells me that today (since it’s 6/6/6), “they” are planning on nuking Las Vegas, LA, and other big cities around the country. Then she proceeds to tell me “it’s the government that is planning it, and they’re going to make it look like terrorists did it… just like they made it look like terrorists when the government attacked the WTC on 9/11”.
I was like WTF?? She was never the sharpest tool in the shed, but I never thought she’d get duped by conspiracy theories, especially one so outrageous. And, I’ve heard a lot of different conspiracy theories about 9/11, but the idea that it was our government that actually perpetrated the attack but blamed terrorists was a new one to me. Has anyone else heard this?
