...here's an example where the conspiracy obviously failed and failed miserably.
And if you like their Chanukah specials, you'll love their Ramadan lunch specials.
You'd think they'd know better in New York City, though.

Hey,
I just wanted to drop you all a note to say sorry about that football game yesterday. I know I've already admitted that rugby is a superior game, but honestly, the NFL can do better.
You see, the thing is, the Miami Dolphins are a really bad team this year. And the New York Giants, much as I…
If you haven't heard of the internet phenomenon Second Life, you probably will soon. It's an online world where players create virtual representations of themselves, or rather, themselves as they'd like to be. Then they go about "life" in the way they would if the tedious flaws of everyday life --…
DrDrA just posted on a currently 37-comment-long thread of a post by PhysioProf at DrugMonkey based on a quote from a post by Dr Brazen Hussy (opening sentence almost as long and convoluted as the title, eh?).

Some good news first: Dembski gave a talk in Kansas. Kansas! You'd think they'd love him there, but his audience was better informed than you might expect, from the example of their elected Board of Education officials.

I remember in -- was it 1984? Sometime around then -- there was a rabbinical convention in Denver. The catering firm chose to provide them with ham-and-cheese sandwiches for lunch.
Dear Orac:
Glad you "enjoyed" (although that's not really the proper verb) the link. Similar to Conspiracy Theories and Conspiracy Theorists, "clueless" seems an appropriate description.
Ignorance is not a complete answer. But, . . . it's a good start.
I think "mindlessness" is the best answer. Over the weekend, my father was visiting my mother in a nursing home. We had had a bunch of freezing rain, and the walkway from the sidewalk to the entrance was very icy and treacherous. He noticed a few other visitors slipping and sliding. Upon leaving the nursing home, he noticed that they had indeed done something about the situation: they posted a sign, on the outside of the door, warning visitors that the path they'd just walked was slippery and advising them to "watch your step."
Doggone it, Orac! I made the lunch special joke to a coworker about an hour before I read your post. Day late/dollar short.
That's OK, GDad, I blatantly stole that line from someone else.
