Oh man -- if Arafat were to cack it, that would make this one of the best weeks EVER.

Oh please, oh please, oh please ...

I'm hoping, praying, that someone near Arafat will announce that Bush's victory pushed the old bastard over the edge.

I'm not a particularly religious person, so I guess I shouldn't feel unseemly about wanting the man to die.

But I still do.

We never had the brass to kill him ourselves, we abdicated our responsibility to civilized humanity.

I guess now my thought is all Drago:

"If he dies, he dies."

I'm more worried about what moonbats come AFTER he slips the surly bonds. . .

Cheers,
Dave

Buck Up, Dave!

And don't you worry about a thing in the prayer catagory either.

I'll pray for you that he dies.

Kerry, Daschle, McAuliffe, Soros, Moore, Euroweenies... today's been a regular gloatfest. You're already levitating on angst rising from millions of moonbats barbequing on the third level of Dante's Conservative Hell and you want your Arafat too! You're disgusting! No Kim for you. Well, not lots and lots of Kim. I mean, there's probably such a thing as too much Kim. How much gloatporn, or Kim, can Acesurfers stand? Knowing you guys, you'll probably try to find out.

No rush! These "grave condition" headlines every few days are toooo nice. I want lingering. Franco lasted weeks!

There will be nothing but chaos and strife when he dies. Unless the Israelis or one of the Arab entities enters and exerts influence.

By the way, Batman? If you're reading this, I'm still waiting for your questions (un-smarmified) on that other thread.

chaos and strife...

You mention that like it's a bad thing.

I say say let them seethe and rage and whine and blame themselves in all of their chaos and strife all they want, maybe there will be an "internal struggle" that will eliminate a few more before the Israelis or one of the Arab entities enters and exerts influence.

Rumors are that Arafat has end-stage AIDs. He was supposedly gay.

Other rumors:

1. Ashcroft will announce he is leaving the Administration. Replaced by his black deputy Holder.
2. Rumsfeld is rumored to be going. Powell is rumored to want to stay and take over as SoD. Powell is keen to clean out the nest of Neocons he has been at odds with since 2002.
3. Reinquist is gravely ill. He will resign in the next 2 weeks.
4. Bush will be bringing a prominant Democrat in at Treasury to attempt to halt the reckless spending spree the Reps have been on and help with Bush's fiscal discipline. One of Robert Rubin's Deputies.

Arafat dead means the Road Map is on again. And involvement in what sort of post-Arafat Palestine emerges. Supreme Court nomination out in days. Purge of the neocons pending. The final attack on Falluja and Ramadi soon.

Bush will have a busy month!

Smack - nice article on your cult, the Christian Zionists, how it was created in the 70's and shaped & guided by the real Zionists:

The last few days have been pretty good. Oklahoma beat Oklahoma State, the Chargers beat the Raiders, Bush beat Kerry, and now it looks like Yasser is getting ready to go his paradise (also known as Hell). The only way it could be better would be if it turned out that his mysterious illness came from one of his close, male companions.

Keep dreaming, paleoboy.

Bring in a Democrat to reign in Republican spending? That's nutty. It's fairly simple to understand the current level spending. Pork is not partisan. It gets incumbents reelected (except for Daschle this year). How do you think Bush got the tax cuts thru, as well as war powers, the suplementals, etc? He agreed to let everything else pass without vetos figuring he'd clean it up later in his second term with the help of an expanding economy.

He will not boot anybody from his cabinet. If you have learned anything about this man, the least should be his overwhelming sense of loyalty.

Powell intends to be the first black President. DOD is a step down from State and he doesn't need additional military cred. Powell wouldn't make that move.

As for AridFart, may he rot in Hell. As far as who may pop up in his place; bring 'em on. If there are tyrannts in hiding waiting to take his place, they're still tyrants, we just don't know who they are or what they're doing. Turn the lights on and start two-stepping.

My two cents.

A Weekend Update Special Report

"This breaking news just in: Generalissimo Francisco Franco has been holding his breath for 10576 days."

Smack:

In the words of Jon Stewart, "I won't be your monkey".

Answer the questions or don't. Otherwise, go fisk yourself. I really don't care one way or the other.

Don't know what that was all about, but...

Rock on, Batman!

"Arafat's condition takes turn for the worse"

Worse? Or better... ;-)
[probably a too-obscure Invader Zim reference]

One can only hope for a swift return of Yassir's body temp to room temperature. As they say - death becomes him.

Yasser was already becoming a non-entity. It is good that he is dying, just too bad he missed out on the napalm suppository the Israelis had in store for him.

My guesses on the cabinet changes are that Powell will leave, and may actually be courted by hillary for the VP spot in the 2008 race. Rice will go to SOS, General Franks will replace Rumsfeld at DOD, Rudy will replace Ashcroft as AG, and reorg with the Director of National Intelligence will allow Rice's old spot to slide into obscutity as Porter Goss will fulfill that role.
