Break out Your Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Gear

That's right folks, once again you are a member of a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, as designated by President Clinton this weekend. Long-time Rush Limbaugh fans may have coffee mugs and shirts informing the world that they are members of this conspiracy. It is time to break them out again!

Note: there is no conspiracy, right or left . . . it is a 'conspiracy' of common cause. There is nobody pulling strings behind President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, et. al. They are all leftists and think the same way. There is nobody pulling strings behind Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, or Sean Hannity; they all have similar inclinations.

The American Heritage Dictionary (which all American English speakers should be using, by the way) defines conspiracy as follows:
"An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act"

This requires a conference and agreement. If you and I did not sit down to conspire, but still both agree that 2+2=4, we are not co-conspirators, we are in agreement.

Duh?
