Osama Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

Ten days to go before we head to the polls, which means only 10 days left for an October Surprise, that rabbit-from-the-hat, ace-in-the-hole election cincher. As of today, there have been 59 "surprise parties" planned in anticipation of that event, the guest of honor, Osama Bin Laden.

In September, we were teased with a statement from Joseph Cofer Black, the US State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism, that Bin Laden's capture was close at hand.

An article on the website of Spain's El Mundo, (translation here), places Bin Laden China. Rumors and speculation abound on the liklihood of Bin Laden's pre-election day capture.

Get you party favors ready, just in case.
