So this morning, my alarm woke me up at 6:00 so that I could hear Paul Bremer announce to the world, "Ladies and Gentlemen. We got'em!" It was rather surreal because I had only been asleep for 3 hours, and my alarm clock radio wasn't very loud at all. It was a normal speaking volume. So I'm surprised that it woke me up at all. At first I thought I was still dreaming, but the longer I listened the more I realized that the NPR reporter was interviewing people regarding what they thought the BIG news was. Some people could only hazard a guess, while others claimed, with authority, that they knew because they had heard Tony Blair announce it already. Whatever. But this is not about capturing Saddam. Whoopity Doo. So we captured Saddam or someone who looks like him or someone with a big haggard beard... blah blah blah. Having captured Saddam won't result in the removal of our troops from Iraq. But now I'm bitching tangentially. No this isn't about that either. What it is about is that my alarm woke me up at 6:00 this morning. No, really. That's what this is really about. "So what?" you may think. Well, this is odd because my alarm wasn't on when I went to sleep last night. Which leads me to believe that one of Dubya's minions snuck into my apartment last night and turned on my alarm clock radio. Almost as if to say, "See! This is a wonderful administration! We caught one of the most wanted villains in the world! Vote for BUSH in 2004!" Bleh. I wish I had caught that minion.
