SURPRISE!!!
SURPRISE, SURPRISE. Sunday, two days before the midterm election in the US, an expected verdict - and possible death sentence - in the trial of Saddam Hussein.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE. U.S. and Iraqi officials have denied that the timing is related to the midterm U.S. elections taking place Tuesday.
IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR NEXT SURPRISE TO BE RUINED, SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH:
Surprise, surprise! On Sunday they will announce a guilty verdict and Saddam will be sentenced to death. The U.S. media will tell us, until the elections are over, what a great victory it is for Bush. Every minute of every hour GOP pundits will tell us how safer the world will be without Saddam, as if he was the most dangerous terrorist.
What is surprising, to me, is how we ignore that Hussein had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack, that the people we should be pursuing are in a different country, and how we ignore the fact that this administration, which claims to be so concerned with our safety, have inflicted damage on our civil liberties while publishing on the internet a detail guide on how to build an atomic bomb.
So, should Wednesday's news be surprising? "GOP Maintain Control On Both Houses". No. But I sure hope I am wrong.

i hope you're wrong too. i wish you were voting, because the only controversial thing i have to vote for down here is whether to keep Nifong as the DA after the whole duke-dancer scandal. can you tell me who's going to win that one?
Thank goodness we were wrong. As usual.
