So long, Zack Attack

Today, 12 intelligent jurors and a judge recognized that the worst punishment to be given to a wannabe terrorist who isn't skilled enough to actually pull off any attacks of his own and who wants to be a martyr for those who support his cause to rally around is to make him rot in prison for the rest of his natural life rather than give him the death he's spent the last few months pleading for.

Yes, that's right. Zacarias Moussaoui was sentenced to life in prison this morning.

It was the right decision. We don't need to give terrorists a martyr. We certainly don't need to give this idiot the death he wants. To me, this was always simple: what Moussaoui wanted, in his mind, was to join his counterparts in sacrificing himself for his cause and getting his 70 virgins or whatever.

Instead, we get to send this blowhard to a place where "blowhard" will take on an entirely new meaning. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Well, Zacky boy, today's song is dedicated to you, as its chorus could easily be sung by you and all your fellow terrorist losers.

Song lyric of the day:
"I'm an asshole
(He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(He's an asshole, such an asshole)"
