my conspiracy theory

today, the ny times posted the second article in a week about how an insane number of tourists are wreaking havoc on our lives. of course, we know that the europeans have been coming in droves due to the weak dollar, but what about all of those hicks from the red states? my conspiracy theory is that george bush has secretly put into action a different currency for the red staters than for us blue staters. yes, i'm talking about confederate money. it's back and it has an awesome exchange rate. i actually believe that mayor bloomberg came up with the overall idea because he is quite the savvy businessman and is always looking for ways to create more revenue for the city.

p.s. right at this moment i'm wearing a really cool tin foil hat!
