Maybe I’m watching too much election coverage …
I’m walking by the television — which is obsessivly tuned to (drumroll) Decision 2000 stuff — this morning, when the anchor starts talking about a lawyer having “four days to appeal the decision to the Russian Supreme Court.”
It turns out the story was about a man just judged guility (in Russia) of spying for the United States — but for just a second I wondered if that was the next step: Florida Supreme Court, U.S. Supreme Court and then, heck, toss it to the Russkies.
The scary thing is that, at this point, that almost makes sense.
