Perhaps We Should Have A Few More Lunar Eclipses....
What a night, last night!
First, of course, the Sawx won the Series. I haven't looked it up yet, but I assume that coming back from an 0-3 deficit in the pennant race to go 8-0 to win the championship is a record of some kind. Well done, indeed!
Second, it appears more and more likely that CBS's carefully crafted election bomb (in the form of 380 tons of pilfered Iraqi explosives, of course) has gone off prematurely. Oops! Well, maybe it was looted before our troops got to Al QuakQuak. Dang! Maybe Russian Special Forces actually made off with it. Yikes! Did we say 380 tons? Actually, we meant 3 tons. Uh, Dan? Why did this thing suddenly stop tick.........
(I'm going to go out on a Llama limb here and say that J. Francois, by jumping on this story with both feet over the past couple days, just lost the election. Had the story broken Sunday night, as originally intended, the Bush camp would have had no time to refute it. As it is, we go into the weekend with the full force of the blowback punching big, jagged holes in the Kerry machine. Life's a bitch. )
And last, but certainly not least, looks like Ol' Arafat is beginning his final slide into the Pit. Getting a bit warm there, Yasser?
UPDATE: Yikes! Michele has a far more sinister take on things.
UPDATE AGAIN: Ann Althouse, subbing for Glenn, links to a story that suggests CBS was forced to try and move the bomb early by.......drumroll please.....bloggers! Mwahahahahaaaa!
UPDATE MORE: Two-L Michelle (Malkin, that is) has more on the blogger influence and notes that Tom Brokaw is calling us names again.
Okay... I'm guessing that on Friday Putin sheepishly points to the place in Syria where his guys buried Saddam's WMD.
And then on Monday we bag bin Laden.
