Great journalistic plans laid to waste

I'm so sorry. Verbal Jazz had great plans to offer extensive and groundbreaking coverage of the transfer of Iraqi sovereignty today, but those plans were nullified by the early and secret transfer of two days ago. In keeping with established journalistic practices, Verbal Jazz was going to even forge the dateline: BAGHDAD, IRAQ. As fate would have it, any attempt Verbal Jazz would have made to provide a larger context for Iraqi sovereignty is now ruined. Thus I'll have to report that Verbal Jazz was brought to a Tupperware party yesterday. It seems so banal, Tupperware, when compared with Iraqi sovereignty, but sovereignty isn't new, Verbal Jazz and Tupperware is new. Actually, the Missus Jazz is a great believer in any kind of container: a Tupperware is like finding that there is a god and that god keeps everything neat and organized. The Tupperware presenter did admit to having a house of Tupperware, which left Verbal Jazz wondering if fixing the roof of her house is as easy as popping on a new lid.
