When certain unusual items pop up in the news that appear to point to a Democrat craftsman or underlying Big Government agenda, we’re told that the events are merely isolated anomalies or coincidences that imply no such intentional design.

An opposite assertion forms the basis of an argument for the Intelligent Design of the universe — the “watchmaker analogy“: a person finding a watch lying on the ground would naturally assume it was created not by accident or series of coincidences, but by the intentional craftsmanship of a watchmaker.

In the world of politics, though, “coincidences” abound, and even if a craftsman was involved — intelligence, good design, or design of something good is certainly a matter of opinion. (However, as suggested by the alternative “infinite monkey theorem” — the larger our government becomes, it should be a greater possibility that something in thousands of typed pages of legislation, if not as stylish as a line from Shakespeare, might make sense.)

The Democrat Media Complex reports that the coincidences prove nothing more than the existence of “rogue” field offices, “dysfunctional” employees, overzealous volunteers — or a biased misinterpretation, cherry-picking, or “obsession” by political opponents to turn events into “phony scandals.” Usually the Complex manages to deflect criticism of the events into criticism of the skeptics, whose inquiring minds earn the label of “paranoid,” “obstructionist,” “anarchist,” or “conspiracy theorist.”
