October Surprise II: Osama Bugaloo A spokesman for the US military said that it is "sure" it will catch Osama bin Laden this year, but declined to detail any specifics. A widely-held theory is that bin Laden is hiding out in the mountainous border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan, protected by sympathetic tribal chiefs, and that the governments of Pakistan and American are letting Osama be momentarily contained there to keep the stability of Pakistan's government intact.

From the state that stole the presidential election from Al Gore, a Circuit Judge named Gene Stephenson publicly apologized yesterday for making insulting comments about a rape victim. While looking at the photo of the victim of rape, kidnapping, beating and robbery, the honorable judge Stephenson told the prosecutor and defense attorney, "Why would he want to rape her? She doesn't look like a day at the beach..."
Can You Enjoy Lighthearted Summertime Beach Reading In The Middle Of Winter?

This Salon article gives a detailed review of this all-you-can-eat buffet of insanity including the authors' suggestions of invading Syria, attacking North Korea, toppling the Iranian government, handing out biometric ID cards to every American, and on and on.
