O.J. Simpson is on the White House payroll

While I stand firm in my belief that conspiracy theory believers are barking (incessantly in many cases) up the wrong tree, I do admit to understanding the attractiveness of many conspiracy theories. And it's not like I'm totally immune to them.

After all, literally five minutes ago I came to the conclusion that O.J. Simpson is getting his marching orders directly from the Executive Branch.

"Police: Simpson questioned in alleged casino theft"

(CNN) -- Former college and NFL star running back O.J. Simpson has been questioned as a possible suspect in an alleged theft, a Las Vegas, Nevada, police spokesman said Friday.

Sgt. John Loretto of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said there was an allegation of a theft, "involving Simpson as a suspect."

"We're waiting right now to see if we can put together a press conference," Loretto told CNN. "We haven't arrested him or anything else; the investigation is very preliminary right now."

Asked whether Simpson is a suspect, the officer replied, "It is an alleged theft, and he is an alleged suspect."

O. J. Simpson. Las Vegas. Casino robbery.

Seriously, the neocons could escalate the Iraq occupation and nuke Iran right out of existence, and it's possible no one will even notice.
