1. Severed internet cables in the Middle East.
Have you guys been paying attention to this? I feel it's not getting enough news coverage. First, 2 undersea cables were cut, severely limiting internet access to parts of the Middle East and India. The fishy part is that the cables were over a mile apart. They are blaming it on a storm. Ok, maybe. Even though we've never heard of this happening before. But the conspiracy part is that over the next few days, at least 2 and perhaps 3 more undersea cables were cut. Ok, whaaaaaat? Well, I won't make any suggestions as to who may be responsible for this, but somebody is up to no good, and it ain't no fisherman with an anchor. (Pirate, maybye. They are crafty.) Here's wired's take on the conspiracy, and someone else telling us all to calm down. Although I would point out that at the end of that last link, the conspiracy nay-sayer suggests that the cable failure could be due to "seismic". Well, I happen to know a little something about "seismic", and it's just not that hard to figure out if there was an earthquake damaging enough to sever some undersea cables. Let's play a game called find the earthquake that broke the internet. If you find one, I'll knit you a sock. Dr. J, what is your take on "volcanic" playing a role here?
2. Hillary Hating
What is up with all this seething hatred of Hillary Clinton? She has the same policies as Barak Obama but no one hates him. What the heck did she do? Besides the fact that she can't do anything right--if she is aggressive, she's a bitch, but if she cries, she's too weak to run the nation--there are people that just hate her but can't tell you why. The NYT says it better than I can. I call subconscious sexism. Interestingly, a lot of this seething hatred comes from women. Well that was not a conspiracy but I felt like pointing it out because it pisses me off.
3. Double Agent Ann Coulter
In a fascinating counterpoint to #2, Ann Coulter says that she will not only vote for, but also campaign for Hillary Clinton if John McCain gets the Republican nomination. There is video evidence. The conspiracy: She's a closet liberal and this was her plan all along. Ann Coulter has been gaining the support of the ultra conservatives for the past few years with her roundabout reasoning and crackpot ideas, and now when it counts, she's switching sides and using her crazy logic to sway the ultra conservatives over to their ultimate rival (see #2 above) Hillary Clinton! It's quite brilliant.
Next time on conspiracy theories: spinach! My favorite conspiracy of all time.
UPDATE: DC's favorite volcanologist has responded to #1 with a thorough geological analysis which corroborates the conspiracy theory. Thanks Dr. J!

I refuse to believe your crackpot theories about spinach!
The rest though, is velly interesting. More later
Oh, my dear Anti-Frog... did you think I could really respond to Item #1 in a mere Comment? I agree that something is rotten in the house of TeleGeography, so I felt compelled to use pictures in my answer. It's a Double Blog Conspiracy Throwdown! Read and React Here. I can't imagine how, if this happens all the time, we've never heard of it before. And the Mediterranean, while totally tectonically active, is nothing compared to a mid ocean ridge, or Indonesia!
