Mommy, what will the October Surprise look like?

[BuyingThyme]

First, there will be a seemingly-insignificant international event, perhaps involving a couple people who go missing under suspicious circumstances.

Second, a would-be ultimatum will be proffered, but only to telegraph an indiscriminate slaughter of brown people.

Third, with a toothy grin, a compassionless American shill will offer limitless support to the ongoing slaughter.

Fourth, the corporate media -- perhaps by way of an inexplicably unprecedented familiarity with jet fuel and rocket trade -- will frame the murders as a cause behind which each and every American should feel obligated to rally.

Fifth, the few Americans who are brave enough to take a stand against murder and hate will be painted as cowardly, "anti-Semitic" Democrats who will settle for nothing less an unconditional surrender to the "terrorists" by all good "Christians" and "Jews."

And, sixth, any firecrackers or stink-bombs that happen to ignite over the first couple weeks of October will be framed as unjustified retaliation by those evil brown people whose loved ones were murdered without a hint of justification, who just might have been firsthand witnesses to the end use of that jet fuel and those rockets, and who, by then, will have been effectively allied with them crazy Christian-and-Jew-hating Democrats.

Surprise!

to ensure free abortions for flag-burning gay teenagers, of course.

4. Bin-Laden, who Bush has built up beyond his wildest dreams,

will make public yet another video so that Bush and the Repukes can scare their way back into control of congress...but this time it won't work.

5. I would hardly describe Katyusha rockets as "stink bombs".

And they were fired at Israeli troops and civilians before Israel retaliated.

Hezbollah fired first - Israel is retaliating. (which incidentally doesn't excuse the fact that Israeli retaliation has been surreally wrong-headed).

6. Why do you?
