8. The most prescient one was the one following Bush's
inauguration. Something like, "Bush election ends long, national nightmare of peace and prosperity."

17. The story where the 9/11 hijackers end up in Hell...
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 12:54 AM by mark11727

Closing line from a torturing demon (from memory):

"Everyone down here wants to have a crack at these guys. Satan has them all day Sunday, and I don't even want to know what he has in mind for them."
