CLEVER MONKEY OF THE WEEK

Osama Bin Laden. The Terrorist Jack-In-The-Box.

Never has there been a jack-in-the-box as annoyingly regular as Osama Bin Laden, who keeps popping out of nowhere but getting his message everywhere.

Usama, as he has recently been frequently called in the news, popped up with yet another audiotape, on which he notes the sudden detonation of his lackey who wasn’t an Iraqi, Musab al-Zarqawi. He reminded us that the deceased was “a lion” and assured us there would be vengeance for his and every other lion’s death.

Apparently, he’s not aware that millions of people would prefer if he just stayed in whatever box he’s confined to and anticipate the day when he and his tape recorder go the way of the lion he lamented.
