We continue to hunt for conspiracy theories involving each President of the United States. To qualify, the story must be more or less contemporary with the President involved, and must be discounted by a majority of Mainstream Historians. I was expecting the boring Presidents of the late nineteenth century to be fairly free ofContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VII”

PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VI
We continue our quest to find a conspiracy theory for each President of the United States. To reiterate the rules, we need something that was not just made up yesterday on the Interwebs: a conspiracy theory is best if it is contemporary with the president, or arose shortly thereafter. And to be a REALContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VI”

WeContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES, PART II”

Just got hit with a new one. Some unknown conspiracy theorist just let me know that these phone calls about choosing my medical plan are NOT coming for ORDINARY robocallers. No, no:: these are people prepared to alter the fabric of our country by moving (should you be unwise enough to use the wordContinue reading “Presidential Tall Tales, Part I”
