Post your unfounded rumors in this thread.
But please, don't just write down any old idle speculation here. I want to reserve this thread for examples of idle speculation with some real buzz behind them. You know the stuff--Bloomberg for Vice President on both parties' tickets, Bush set to start bombing Venezuela in mid-October, NSA psy-ops planning to disrupt the next G-8...

Gimme your quality stuff, dudes.

1. With McCain down 15-17 points in the polls in October

6. Pope Benedict XVI is in the closet now, but he's planning to
Edited on Tue Jun-17-08 09:33 AM by Boojatta
move to California and become the new governor of California, with Arnold Schwarzenegger as his deputy. Pope Benedict XVI plans to bring troops from the Vatican City nation state to help train and lead rural California militias. The combined Vatican-City-California military forces will then march on Washington, replace Cheney with Schwarzenegger and force every American to use a wide stance in airport washroom stalls.

14. Actually, I've tested this
Not laboratory conditions, unfortunately. I was sneeze farting and threw a cough in just to see what would happen. I didn't die, but the lack of spontaneity may have inadvertantly Heisenberged my results.

37. Tim Russert is not dead - far from it!
Edited on Tue Jun-17-08 07:20 PM by kenny blankenship
A big chunk of his options in Genocidal Extermination corp. vested, and he bought an island --Madagascar since none of the larger ones are currently on the market-- to rule over as his private principality. He was essentially forced out of his "blue collar job" by peer pressure. It didn't look right anymore for him to keep working -- you have to pay taxes if you're paid a salary and if there's one thing worse and less clubbable in his set than voting for taxes it's agreeing to pay them. After a certain number of zeros pile up to the left of the decimal on your financial statement you run out of excuses. Hence the staged sudden death.

45. It's only an unfounded rumor mind you...
but I have heard, from a reliable source and some people, that I, yes, that is correct I...










































will acquire a sense of humor.



It is, however, as noted, unfounded and as yet, unsourced.
