Catch-22



I suspect that if you turned on Fox news at the right moment yesterday, you would have seen some conservative pundit doing his best imitation of Kadeem Hardison's victory celebration in the movie "White Men Can't Jump," cabbage-patching vigorously while exclaiming "We're goin' to Sizzler, we're goin' to Sizzler!"

I guess Saddam Hussein is not a vain man. But, if you had spent the last eight months alternating postures between cab driver and frightened rabbit, you would look like Ted Kaczynski too.

It's too bad that he can't be brought before the International Criminal Court to face justice since the U.S. is opposed to it. But, still I'm looking forward to the information that will come out of the interrogations. For instance, did Saddam Hussein and Michael Jackson use the same interior decorator? Finally, we may be able to learn the truth.

However, that may take a while. It's been two years since the height of fighting in Afghanistan and those prisoners are still being interrogated in Guantanamo. There must be quite an interrogatory waiting list, but I'm sure some strings can be pulled.

Well, that was a nice diversion. Does this mean the war is over again?
