Sean Hackbarth links to a new conspiracy theory tied to an old OTB Caption ContestTM: Dubya fell off the Sedgway on purpose in order to help out his buddies in the oil industry. Heh.
Update (21:24): John Hawkins has the story and some commentary, too.
Update (12:25, 6-19): Reader Paul thinks the piece may just be a poorly written satire (of what or whom, I’m not sure) rather than a poorly thought-out conspiracy theory. This strikes me as plausible, as a skimming of a couple of other pieces by Maning reveals no widespread tendency to write about party politics.
