Right on cue

Are those my cues?



Yes, and they must be dry by now. Why don't you pull them up out of the cellophane before they scorch. [/Catherwood]

This really is getting entirely too predictable.



From the "Run For Your Lives!" file, right on schedule, here's today's Dire Terrorism Warning, right on the heels of Our Pet Goat's Pet Goat hour and a half last night, otherwise known as the first Presidential debate of 2004:

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - An audiotape purportedly released by Osama bin Laden’s deputy calls for attacks on U.S. and British interests everywhere, according to a broadcast Friday by Al-Jazeera television.



The Arab station said the speaker on the tape was Ayman al-Zawahri, an Egyptian-born surgeon and the closest aide to the al-Qaida terrorist group leader. The U.S. government has offered up to $25 million for information leading to his killing or capture.



It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the recording or determine when it was taped. In Washington, a U.S. official said the CIA was aware of the tape and was looking at it.



The tape emerged one day after a campaign debate between President Bush and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., discussed the U.S. war on terror and the search for bin Laden.



The voice sounded like past recordings of al-Zawahri, but it also made an unusual reference to the possibility that al-Qaida’s top leaders were not invincible.

Sounds like Bush's friends in Al-Qaeda are making sure he knows who's his daddy.
