IF YOU DON'T RIDE A CAMEL, YOU AIN'T SHIITE

Don't blame me--that's an old Letterman joke from saner times when we all agreed popping Saddam was a good thing and terrorists deserved nothin' but a good carpet bombing.

Anyhow, early exit polls from Iraq ("early" being a relative term, four days after the vote) have the Shiites out in front. If their elections are anything like ours, look for the Kurds to eek out the win.
