EVEN THEIR ASSASSINS ARE THIRD RATE (via Matt Murphy):
Man Admits Chirac Assassination Attempt (VERENA VON DERSCHAU, 12/06/04, Associated Press)
A man who said he "had failed in life" admitted Monday he tried to assassinate President Jacques Chirac, and told a court he wanted to go down in history with a "shocking" act.
The shock is that the other 60 million don't try too. Posted by Orrin Judd at December 6, 2004 11:55 PM

The Day of the Jack-Ass.
