Sounds like a conspiracy on it's own. You aren't suggesting that Shadow Governments exist within, are you, Manhattan? And that Bush and his administration are nothing but a veneer or puppets?
It's not a conspiracy. It's just logical public relations. Any person with a modicum of common sense knows that Governor Terminator is not drawing up California's annual budget. This is a man who once said that "gay marriage shud be between unt man unt der woman!!!!"
