I wonder if the Competitive Enterprise Institute — the group behind the “Carbon dioxide. They call it pollution. We call it life.” ad — is staffed with magicians.

Also, the Heartland Institute turns out to share the same IP address as the “New Coalition for Economic and Social Change”… whatever that is.

Here’s a spiffy diagram to confuse you.
