Interesting breakdown on the partisan particularities in the various conspiracy theories that people in America tend to believe in. From shape-shifting lizard aliens secretly ruling the country (so secretly that 12 million Americans believe in that shite), to Truthers, Birthers, Osama being alive, Moon landing hoax believers... there's a lot of crazy stuff a surprisingly large number of people seem to believe in.

The question as to WHY there's so much crazy around, I leave to you.

I'd never heard of the one about Paul McCartney - and I thought it had been more or less proven that the CIA at least allowed the cocaine to come in (which may not be exactly the same as helping distribute - so maybe I'm on a slightly different conspiracy there...)

Elvis is still alive, he was spotted working at a gas station somewhere in the Midwest :)

So if I'm reading this right, only 12 million Americans are aware that the lizards are in control? That explains a lot!

Dailyquote:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
