the Greater Nomadic Council

Tavis

I meant to mention this a few days ago when I heard it but I am a lazy, lazy man (in serious Homer voice). I only bring this up as an amusing comment, not to start a discussion of media bias--I'm sure we're all tired of that debate.

On my drive back from Austin, I was listening to the Tavis Smiley show and he introduced the Saddam topic with the following: "American forces finally caught Saddam after months of fruitless searching."

The "finally" okay, but I laughed aloud (ell-oh-ell) when he said "fruitless." Isn't that a bit like saying that a lost item is always in the last place that you look?
