Could things get any weirder?

The other day I blogged about Claude Allen, the president's former domestic policy advisor who'd been picked up for allegedly targeting department stores in a fraudulent return scam.

Well, things just got far, far weirder:

Now, I take it I'm not reading too much into this [NPR story] to think that the idea here is that this is a case of mistaken identity in which the virtuous Claude Allen has been nailed for the crimes of his evil twin.

I have to tell you this new story seems so insane and ridiculous that I have [to] suspect it's actually true. And, no, I'm not entirely kidding. Who could come up with such a story?

I can't wait to see how this one pans out.
