Now here's the ultimate tinfoil hat theory which I have not seen posted anywhere. As crackpot theories go, this one actually makes the most sense...

The race was essentially a dead heat in the polls. Wellstone led slightly in some, Coleman led slightly in others. But in no poll was Wellstone ever close to the 50% mark. Nearly ever pundit acknowledges that an incumbent under 50% is in serious trouble.

The Clintons knew that Wellstone was in trouble as well. Having seen what a success the New Jersey switcheroo has turned out to be, the Clintons began to contemplate such a move in Minnesota. Unfortunately, Minnesota law does not permit such a late switch. Of course, neither did NJ law, but the prospects of the Minnesota Supreme Court permitting a switch this late seemed too iffy for the Clintons' taste.

But then the Clintons' army of lawyers discovered that Minnesota law would permit a late switch if the candidate dies. So Clinton made a few telephone calls and the Dixie Mafia sprung into action.

However, under this theory, Wellstone caught wind of the Clintons' plans and decided to stage his own death. Because of this, the Clintons agreed that they would not go forward with their plans. With a replacement candidate in for the election, the problem was solved.

The Democrats now believe that between Mondale and the sympathy vote, they will retain the Minnesota seat for sure. This might explain why last night's "memorial" was so festive... the Democrats are in on this dirty little secret as well.

So goes the theory. The crackpot theory. But hey, this is no worse than the DU's theory that George Bush is somehow responsible.

Can we please cut out the BS like this post. It's just as wacko as the plane never hit the Pentagon silliness. It makes us look as goofy as the teenagers and lowlifes at DU.

If ALL the dems in on it commit arkanside (which I am not hoping for...) then your theory will be proven correct. Bubba ain't one for leaving witnesses. Heck, Bubba ain't one for leaving people that took care of witnesses. Imagine, an endless series of hit men whacking hit men that whacked hit men......

Hence the reason it was moved to "chat" although it deserves deletion. In the spirit of the holiday and the chattiness of the post's location, here is a ... Spooky Ride ...


A man stood on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a storm. The night was rolling and no cars passed. The storm was so strong, he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he saw a car come towards him and stop.

The guy, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door only to realize that nobody was behind the wheel. The car started slowly. The guy looked at the road and saw a curve coming his way.

Scared, he started praying, and begged for his life. He hadn't come out of shock, when just before he hit the curve, a hand appeared through the window and moved the wheel. The guy, paralyzed in terror, watched how the hand appeared every time before a curve.

The guy gathered strength, got out of the car and ran to the nearest town. Wet and in shock, he ran into a cantina and asked for two shots of tequila, and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he went through. A silence enveloped everybody when they realized the guy was crying and wasn't drunk.

About half an hour later, two guys walked into the same cantina, and one said to the other. "Look, that's the character who climbed into our car while we were pushing!"

Reminds me of this scary story;

A man who owns a pharmacy showed up at work one day around noon. He saw a man leaning against the wall outside with a grimace on his face. The owner asked his assistant manager who the guy outside was.
The assistant said, "He came in looking for cough medicine. I could not find any, so I gave him a bottle of laxative and told him to drink it all."
The manager said, "You can't cure a cough with laxative!"
The assistant replied, "Sure you can. Look at him, he's afraid to cough!"
