I know that I'm probably a little behind in reporting that Yasser Arafat went into a coma last night, but I do have one piece of breaking news to add to the story.
Reports are coming in that right before slipping into the coma, Arafat was watching CNN and was heard to esclaim, "He was re-elected!?!?" *THUD*
Doctors are still not sure who the coment refered to, and if was part of the cause of the aging terrorist's going into his coma. (They're not very good doctors, but they work cheap.) Some close to Arafat think that the stress of watching the Red Sox finally win a World Series in the past weeks had been too much for the Palestinian leader to take, and his health was suffering from the let-down of emotion after the celebrations of their victory.
When asked if Arafat was really a Red Sox fan, his top aide replied, "Well, we assume so. He was always talking about how much he supported some guy from Boston. Who else could he be talking about?"
