Two theories

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on October 22, 2002). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Just tossing these in really quickly — I may come back and revisit them later on tonight.

Sitting around at work, doing something mindless, so my mind is wandering.

Theory 1: Bush must be pissed — the sniper is stealing all his press.

Theory 2: What if that’s the point?

Theory 2a: The sniper is a government operative (and probably future fall guy, once he’s caught), unleashed to distract the American public from the buildup to invading Iraq, making it easier for Bush to work out all the schemes and deals he needs to in order to set the invasion in motion.
