Preposterous Universe

 
Precognition

You knew it, right? There was something inside you, as you read just yesterday about the startling evidence of an actual link between Iraq and Al Qaida, maybe even a direct tie to Sept. 11? There was some nagging feeling that it couldn't be true. There's been no evidence worth talking about for any such connection, and it would be very strange for it to suddenly pop up now. Who knows, maybe they did something incredibly bone-headed yet again, like mixing up two kinda-Arabic-sounding names. Ha, ha! Wouldn't that be ridiculous? Any idiot would have cleared something like that up a long time ago.

I'm sure glad this stuff isn't important, so we can all just enjoy a good laugh about it.
