What are the odds that it is already under way?

8 to 5 against.

This will be a campaign like no other we've seen in the last 60 years except for some semblences to MacArthur's end around in Korea.

There are hints of some classic chess trapping moves and offense/defense reversals with a sprinkling of Troy and Alexander's better efforts.

The woe-is-me chorus will be dumbfounded. The body bag manufacturers will be beating their breasts for lack of business.

To quote the poet:"I see a bad moon rising" (well, sort of a poet :))

From the "Words of the prophets are written on the Karaoke Walls" Department:

Creedence Clearwater Revival
Title: Bad Moon Rising
Album: Green River

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightning.
I see bad times today.

CHORUS:

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

CHORUS

All right!

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

CHORUS
