    As if things in the Eastern USA aren't tragic enough, the conspiracy theorists have of course been busy fingering their favorite scapegoats for Hurricane Sandy. Southern Poverty Law Center has compiled their five favorite conspiracy theories on what caused the "Frankenstorm".

    #1: It's because of gays! The storm is God's punishment for the American government promoting homosexual marriage.

    #2: The evil policy towards Israel. Natural disasters happen in the USA when they try to divide Israel.

    #3: Obama dunnit! The hurricane was caused by secret navy units in an attempt to make Obama look like a strong leader!

    #4: The government wants to take your guns! In a national emergency (such as during a hurricane), the authorities can take away your guns and never give them back.

    #5: It's an excuse to delay the job report. At least 'till after the election so nobody can see how badly the Obama administration is doing.

    I go for #6: It's nature's way of giving conspiracy theorists something to discuss.

    :facepalm:

    #7- It was a plot by Karl Rove and the Republicans to prevent liberals from being able to vote. Apparantly, the communities hit hardest by the storm in NJ and NY are overwhelmingly Democratic. I read one moonbat who was convinced NY will now go to Romney without Long Island and NYC being able to vote.

    #8 - Too many young boys have been masturbating and eating Cheetos at the same time while playing the classic Leisure Suit Larry series causing a cataclysmic event in nature...

    #9 - Christie had a second helping of beans while dining on the Jersey Shore, you can take it from there...

    Actually Frankenstorm Sandy was backing Obama and knew that if she hit the East Coast all those iffy states would line up for him.

    She won the election for Obama so I must be right. Even Virginia managed to pull up enough votes to finally after it was all over cast their electoral votes for Obama.

    Its a toss up between conspiracy theorists and the universe.

    The universe may have gotten irked at conspiracy theorists who claimed scientists make up excuses to advocate government action on pollution and/or fund their research.

    The latter was especially irksome to the universe as fossil fuel industries have been willing to give grants to scientists (especially ones who proclaim the other scientists are just making a hoax) and sent a Hurricane at the US as this nation is the home of so many of these conspiracy theorists and their think tanks or institutes.

    :( For a second I thought you said "Cheerios," not "Cheetos." In which case I would have applauded you for having read the Cheerios story.
