"The 1919 World Serious," wrote Ring Lardner. "Which the Cincinnati Redlegs won - much to their surprise."
After Sen. George Norris got a law passed in Nebrasak that political candidates would be on the ballot with party identification, his enemies found a couple of stoogies named George Norris to run against him.
The wingers imagine vast perfectly left-wing conspiracies unfolding over decades. Forged birf certs, with planted newspaper announcements; gun walking stings that will repeal the Second Amendment; Vince Foster murder cover-up, etc.
But their own conspiracy <i>between two people</i> fell apart under the weight of its own idiocy. Either the left are diabolical geniuses at conspiring. Or conspiracies are hard to do. OK, third possibility: Among Repubicans, Dubya is the smart one.

There are a lot Schmidt-heads in Michigan.
Even die-hard Stalinists would think that this scheme was a bad idea.
Sometimes, brevity is also more correct (than, for example, briefness).
