  Republican Desperation = "Terrorist Attack"

  First: I am hardly a radical. My wife and I own a corporation, have two kids and a house on the lake. I have an MBA from a Pac-10 university. She's a doctor.

  But what I'm about to say will be branded radical by many across the political spectrum: there is going to be a terrorist attack before the election.

  As the polls continue to trend strongly in favor of Obama, McCain's backers will take ever more desperate measures to avoid losing the power they've spent the last 30 years wresting from our democracy.

  Expect the "Bin Laden" video shortly. Then expect a "suitcase nuke" in a city near you.

  I see no alternative to another 9/11. Please, fellow progressives, tell me what other option the NeoCons have left? There are not enough rigged voting machines to pull off another coup. The Rezko/Ayres stories are a wash with McCain's Keating Five. Obama's not going to pull a Kerry and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

  The PNAC boys have nothing left but Terror. Do you really believe the people who brought us the last eight years of misery, death and destruction are going to give up at the precise moment their Corporatist Utopia is materializing before their very eyes, courtesy of the economic upheaval tailor made for enactment of the "shock doctrine"?

  Now is their chance. The next month may be the most turbulent period in this country's existence. Viscerally, I feel it coming. Intellectually, I cannot arrive at any other scenario.

  Maybe someone needs to talk me down on this one.
