I think that you can go ahead and award the prize now:
Arbitrator awards Satan two-year, $6.8 million contract
Satan, who represents himself in contract talks and is currently vacationing in his native Slovakia, was not immediately available for comment.
that’s really funny.
American Journalism Review collects these (from reader submissions, I imagine) and puts them on their web site.
I think I remember him being involved in a trade a few years back.
The reporter asked him, “How does it feel to be traded for Satan?”
Bit of background info for non-canucks:
Stockwell Day, the head of one of Canada’s more ludicrous opposition parties, “The Canadian Alliance” has been having some leadership problems. Boring news, but great headlines. Apart from a lot of unintentional irony about “Alliance Rebels”, the Globe and Mail ran a headline “Day Promises New Race.” Since Mr. Day is an atavistic Fundamentalist who isn’t afraid to admit that he believes the Earth was created just a few thousand years ago, I was expecting the sub-header “A race of atomic supermen, which will conquer the world!” or something similar.
