Thelma called me this weekend and told me that there’s a whole new conspiracy theory that birds aren’t real. Yea, that’s what it’s called – the Birds Aren’t Real conspiracy theory.

And it’s got to be true because it’s on a billboard and the internet machine.

The theory goes like this: birds are being replaced with drones by the government and they are spying on you.

Yep. And the sad part is that it’s not even the most outrageous conspiracy I’ve heard this week.  I think the far left is just that crazy.

However, come to find out – it’s satire. And the kids made it up. Because they are brilliant.

You can read about it here.  And yes, it’s the New York Times and I do not want to hear that you don’t subscribe because the only answer is “I can’t afford it.” That’s caca del toro. Right now you can subscribe for $4 a month.  At the end of the year, it goes to $17 a month however, if you call the number to unsubscribe and tell them that you’re over 65 and you love the NYT but can’t afford that much, they will extend your $4 a month for another year.  So shuddup and support journalism.

The Washington Post offers the same deal and it’s even cheaper. Give yourself a damn Christmas present.
