Want to see how easy it is to create a conspiracy theory? Here's one of my own. I was driving from Dallas to Austin this weekend. Two pileups shut down I-35, one outside of West, and the other in Temple. Each had a line of stopped cars 15 miles long. a brutish 3 hour drive transformed into a mind-numbing 6 hours. Delightful.
On the surface, seemingly random bad driving events. A 10 car and a 15 car pileup. Folks driving too fast and to close. Dig deeper, and you will find that over 50% of the drivers inconvenienced by these snarl ups regularly fly on Southwest Airlines on business and some pleasure. Ominously, they chose NOT to fly SWA that day. You do the math. SWA would only have to pay a small amount of money to an uninsured guy in a beater car to slam on his brakes in order to create a mind-numbing and infuriating delay. I watched as the guy in front of me, driving some sort of Volvo SUV, which goes together about as well as Texas and Soccer, screaming at his cell phone and banging his fist on his dashboard. Wanna bet he thinks twice before driving I-35 again? Who wins? Southwest Airlines. Rick Perry. Toll Roads. NAFTA. Grassy knoll indeed. The confluence of big business interests, republican politicians and internationalist money men. A rich broth of intriguw indeed.
This is guerrilla marketing at its best. Instead of a multimillion dollar billboard and tv commercial campaign, a few thousand dollars to folks that can create multi-car pileups on I-35. Genius! We are all doomed.
That would be something to investigate to deflect attention away from high fuel prices, good idea!! Much better than Big Oil and Little independent oil man screwing everyone on the planet with high gas prices.
I need to sell my Land in Alaska WITH Mesquite Trees to someone. Everything in Texas is green and it is relatively cool for now, I guess George finally got the weather modification to work . He just needs a little tweeking for his process. Quick someone print a "story" on Global Flooding and Global Cooling. We need to keep our stories straight if we are going to succeed!!!

Open Choke - NAFTA is already a winner for you and your libertard friends. I thought your gang loves toll roads. King Juan Carlos has got to be smiling.
And just another reason to go long on Cotton.
