Those Unending Wacky Obama Conspiracies, 10:30 a.m. E.T. Near rural Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where Flight 93 was brought down on 9/11, the Rev.

The self-styled Anabaptist bishop, who gained the support at least one Congressman when he complained that the proposed Flight 93 memorial "Crescent of Embrace" honored Islam and pointed toward Mecca, has now supposedly interviewed Barack Obama's Kenyan grandmother to prove that the Democratic nominee is not a natural-born citizen.

This was the luckiest break of his life. Had McRae hit a grand slam to win that World Series, he would likely be retired now, because he almost certainly would not have been traded the following season to Kansas City. "That's the start of the sequence," he figures, "of all the rare events that brought me to this rarest one."
