Superstition III
I caught this letter-to-the-editor in our local paper, and the first thing I did was check the author's name. Nope, not TB, some other clone.
Blowback from the election hasn't taken long to set in. Russian Leader Vladimir Putin kills a KGB agent in Britain, Muqtada al-Sadr launches new attacks and forbids Nouri al-Maliki to meet Bush, and Syria kills another anti-Syrian politician. Our enemies have been emboldened.

Isn't that precious? It's rare to see so many delusions packed so efficiently into so few words. I'm in awe of the craftsmanship. Sure, Bush had Putin on a short leash up until November 7, and of course he never ordered anybody killed before that. al-Sadr was peacefully tending his garden until the election "emboldened" him to take up terrorism again. Syrian politicians have never been assassinated, no never. Nothing bad ever happened in Iraq until November 7, when the Iraqis inexplicably put down their garlands of flowers and picked up guns and IEDs.
And all this, let's not forget, two months before the new Congress even takes office.
Wow!
