"None Of The Above" Sues Ba'athist Party Over Confusing Ballot

That's the title of the satire that I would write on Saddam's "election" if I weren't so busy with paying work and writing tomorrow's Fox column. (By the way, why does Reuters use scare quotes on "terrorist" but not on Saddam's "election"?)

So to speak.

Hussein Calls Landslide Vote 'Mandate for Change':
"Saddam Hussein, who captured 100 percent of the vote in this week's hotly-contested Iraqi presidential election called his come-from-ahead victory 'a mandate for change.'"

Iraqi Ballot Controversy Leaves Result in Question:
"Confused Iraqi voters claim they didn't understand the new ballots in today's presidential election, and their votes will be misinterpreted."

ScrappleFace: if it's not already a habit of yours, I highly suggest you make it one!
