Get me Nostradamus on line 1...

Is the US going to hell in a handbasket? Catholic Cardinal steps down for aiding and abetting child molesters? Nobody seems concerned that we're going to war with Iraq? Nobody seems concerned we still haven't caught bin Laden, the man who actually organized 9/11? Bush announces plans for him and much of the country to take the smallpox vaccine? Kissinger offers to investigate the government's failure to detect the 9/11 attack, but changes his mind only because he might lose some consulting business? An increasing number of states plunge toward bankruptcy? And, all due respect, because he should step down, but we've chosen this moment to notice a lifelong racist is in the Senate? Anyone want to tell me the punchline now, because that's enough setup for me already...
