Stug’s eyes went all round, and nearly rolled down his pale cheeks at the sight of Creston putting the big jeweled hat on. It just sat on top of Creston’s head, being the type of crown that wasn’t designed to come down over the ears. “Hmmmm,” said Creston, “I guess I’ll have toContinue reading “THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: Creston and the Crown, Pt. 2”

PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES XII
So we move on into the twentieth century in ou quest for presidential conspiracy theories dealing with every President of the United States. To be considered for our list, the theory in question should be about as old as the administration in question, or at least nothing something somebody came up with on theContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES XII”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES XI
As noted, the ground is getting treacherous underfoot as we sally forth in search of conspiracy theories about the U.S. Presidents. Ideally, you will recall, we are looking for stories more or less contemporary with the Chief Executive which have since been dismissed by most “mainstream historians”. We hit quicksand hunting for anything aboutContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES XI”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES IX
We continue to pore through history to find good solid conspiracies involving each of the Presidents of the United States. To recap, we need a story about a president which involves him in some deep plot, or one that seemed deep at the time. We prefer theories which are more or less contemporary withContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES IX”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VII
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”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES iv
You will recall our mission in the search for a conspiracy theory about each President of the United States: we are looking for old theories, not something somebody on the Interwebs made up last week, and we seek accusations which turned out to be untrue, or at least unproven. The mid nineteenth century wasContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES iv”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES III
We continue our hunt for the conspiracy theories which bedeviled the Presidents of the United States, following the same rules as before. These have to be contemporary conspiracy theories accusing the Presidents of nefarious plans, not something made up by me or the Interwebs later, and they must be conspiracies which Mainstream Historians, byContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES III”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES, PART II
Remember, as we return to our attempt to find a “conspiracy theory” about each of the Presidents of the United States, that we have two basic rules: the conspiracies must have been debunked by a majority of Mainstream Historians, and they can’t be something I or some other Interwebs rumor-monger made up recently. WeContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES, PART II”
Presidential Tall Tales, Part I
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”
