Two theories
Politics October 22nd, 2002 |Just tossing these in really quickly — I may come back and revisit them later on tonight.
Sitting around at work, doing something mindless, so my mind is wandering.
Theory 1: Bush must be pissed — the sniper is stealing all his press.
Theory 2: What if that’s the point?
Theory 2a: The sniper is a government operative (and probably future fall guy, once he’s caught), unleashed to distract the American public from the buildup to invading Iraq, making it easier for Bush to work out all the schemes and deals he needs to in order to set the invasion in motion.

Could be true…. It wouldn’t be the first time though.

Just to clarify, I don’t really think that this is the case. Much as I like to play with paranoid conspiracy theories, I rarely (if ever) actually subscribe to them. However, that was the direction my brain took me in while being bored at work, and it amused me to toss it up.

No clarification needed. I like to play along on conspiracy theories. It’s alwayes fun.
