One of my colleagues muttered this afternoon that he might need some therapy to deal with all this. He said this as we stood in another colleague's office, gathered around CNN, watching the numbers of exposed staffers in Senator Tom Daschle's office climb along the bottom of the screen.

The one who got away: Norwegian bin Laden humor (Part II of II)
With Osama bin Laden as the missing value, since his disappearance, these jokes fill in the gaps of uncertainty regarding what will happen in the future, how our identity is defined, and how humanity is a shared condition. They are a response to questions about what we would do, what we have done, and what we know has been done. Furthermore, these jokes differentiate Norway from the US by appealing to previous traditions of war-time experience – those of occupied Norway. With these jokes, a sympathetic hand is warily extended, cognizant of the fact that all hands are soiled. As the saying goes, “In the dark, all cats are gray.”
