"And indeed, the burden of Cassandra's "gift" is evident in mythology. She predicted the outcome of many disastrous events. In one memorable example, Cassandra announced the dire consequences of the Trojans accepting the infamous Wooden Horse from their Greek opponents. But as Apollo made certain, no one believed Cassandra when she warned her companions about the future. And this, in the end, was to be Cassandra's tragic fate."
Earlier today I had some fun with the trackbacks at NewsBusters, and I included Samantha Burns in the joke. Just to show her that I meant no harm, I am happy to plug her blog. She features a regular "Moron of the Week" award, which is worth checking out.
