Well the essay is clearly a rant, but I thought I'd mention this bit:
"(2) You know that all our Presidents are related?! It's true; Burke's Peerage traces the ancestry of all the men who became President-they're all related to Charlemange. What are the odds this is coincidence?"
What's interesting here is the writer's implied claim that because there is a genetic linkage between these people (assuming we take his claims at face value), that this amounts to a sort of conspiracy.
A book I recently read, Before the Dawn, makes the scientific claim that all of us currently living on the planet are descended from a single male, who lived some 5,000 years ago or so. Also from a single female who lived a little bit further back than that.
So I guess the conspiracy just widened to include all of us!!!!!!! After all, what are the odds that this is coincidence???? Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!
