Get Ready For It: Bush & Co. are going to come up with an "October Surprise" -- something to force you to vote against the Democrats in November. Secretly, Karl Rove -- "Bush's Brain" -- has even promised Republicans one.
Back in August, Chris Weigant at the Huffington Post gave us ten choices as to what Karly Rover has in mind. Go HERE to place your bets on one of the following:
(1) Announce the capture and/or death of Osama Bin Laden. Odds: 10 to 1HINT: Chris says, "Remember, the last time we were in this situation (the 2002 midterm election), President Bush demanded a vote from Congress to authorize him to go to war with Iraq...."
(2) Gas price relief at the pump for average Americans. Odds: 5 to 1
(3) Bombing Iran's nuclear facilities. Odds: 3 to 2.
(4) Bombing Syria in support of Israel. Odds: 8 to 1
(5) Bombing Ned Lamont's house in Connecticut. Odds: 1000 to 1
(6) The GOP brings the troops home from Iraq. Odds: 15 to 1
(7) Exploit the Fidel Castro situation in Cuba. Odds: 7 to 1
(8) Announce Cheney will step down as Vice President after the election. Odds: 25 to 1
(9) Announce the U.S. has thwarted a huge terrorist plot to ... (fill in the blank). Odds: 5 to 4
(10) Announce that Barbara and/or Jenna Bush has joined the Marines and will soon be deploying to Iraq. Odds: 17.5 billion to 1
The mind of Karly Rover is sick but slick: He knows a whale-load of Americans adore war. Many are called "Christians," and their Holy Book is thick with references to war as the way to solve all sandbox problems -- or at least the way to God & Glory.
I know, I know. We already have a war going. But it’s not going *well*. Also, it's past the fireworks part we all love so well, where we ride in in a blaze of rockets' red glare, and bombs bursting in air. We need our start-a-war fix! The part where we just let 'er rip, boys! Bust 'em up! Show 'em who's boss! Ride 'em cowboy! HEEEE - yaw!

My vote is on Osama. I got this inkling a while back that Bush had Osama in his back pocket "for just such an emergency".
I bet he keeps his feathers numbered too.

You might be right, anti. I hope you're right. But people are really disgusted with the pResident and the Congress right now. Would capturing O alleviate enough of that disgust to ensure the Reps retain Congress on Nov. 7?
It's always been FEAR that's kept these Cons in office. They've used fear from day one to keep us all in line.
I suspect they'll use it again at the end of this month. I think that's why there's a serious military buildup happening around Iran. Shock-N-Awe time again.
My money is on Syria. We don't have the troops to go against Iran - they won't be as easy to take as Saddam's forces were.
He's going to have to do something big - the Xtian evangelical base is crumbling and the new book about them using religion to get votes is going to be everywhere next week.
