I'm betting it will be a doozy. Odiferous. A real real steaming load. Remember the 5:00 Horror ? In the first few years, the incredibly disciplined Bush administration released bad news regularly at 5:00 on Fridays--until either they figured out people were on to the scam, or there was so much bad news they just decided not to bother.

Anyhow, today in six hours we'll have a triple witching hour:

1. 5:00PM (EST)

2. on a Friday

3. before a long weekend

so I'd imagine they've been saving up something very special for us.

My guess would be the list of beneficiaries for $450 million in "meritorious iniatives" under the Softwood Lumber agreement--Can you say "slush fund"? I thought you could--since the due date for that is, erm, today.

But I'm sure there are plenty of other documents the malAdministration would like to dump where nobody will notice. Readers?

And please, nothing routine, like Frist (R-Video Diagnosis) lying on his medical license application, or more stupid racism (Burns, R-Taxi Cabs), or even more stupid racism (McCain, R-Old Confederacy), or destroying the free Internet (Allen, R-Yopipi), or the usual Republican demon-haunted world.

Serious dumps only, please.
