Yes, the “C” word used to have some punch. Now it’s just a term of derision. But seriously, a lawyer friend of mine told me that one of the most commonly prosecuted crimes is conspiracy — literally thousands and thousands of cases prosecuted each year. But when anyone by the Fed or sacred local forces that prevent us from the utter chaos and hell of freedom invoke the “C” word, it goes through a process similar to transubstantiation.

It is precisely because of the darts that I don’t sell conspiracy theories in front of my home.

Tom - thanks for the link to your deft analysis.
I can only hope that Christine O’Donnell will stop this kind of legislative self-abuse after she gets elected.

Lawrence - yep, prosecutors love to pile on those conspiracy charges. And they find enough jurors to swallow such hokum….

And it doesn’t even have to be high quality ***, either.
