October Surprise

Via BoingBoing, this site lets you guess what we have in store from the Bush Administration this October:

The most popular choices include:

• WMD’s found in Iraq!
• Osama bin Laden captured!
• Spectacular terrorist attack on US soil!
• Vote is threatened by terrorist attacks, vote suspended due to red alert.
• US pulls out of Iraq in October, leaving the UN in charge.
• Diebold Election Systems fixes the vote in battleground states.
• Escalation in Israel, Iran, or North Korea. US opens a new war front.

I picked the “Vote is threatened by terrorist attacks, vote suspended due to red alert.” option since I don’t see the administration giving up power simply based on the outcome of an election. The “Diebold Election Systems fixes the vote in battleground states” idea is less far fetched, but they’re likely to try something really sneaky.
