    True. What thrill, what excitement. A 70-year-old sewer rat was executed. I'd hate to see what this guy did if he actually saw a woman naked.

    Rope supplied by Halliburton.
    Cost: $1000000

    In a heartwarming note, they had a touching funeral service so Saddam can be near Uday and Qusay.

    Why the fuck didn't they just incinerate his body and feed the ashes down the sewer? Why give anybody anything to build a shrine around?

    And he still went out like a bitch, yelling back and forth with some of those watching. Fittingly, they dropped the rope in the middle of some Islamic prayer chant he learned I'm sure while in jail.

    Is Saddam, Ford and JB the best dead threesome in history?

    I would have to say so. I would reluctantly make JB the No. 3 on that list and any list where you have no choice but to make The Godfather of Soul the No. 3 person is a powerhouse list.

    I thought it was some kind of bizzare bootleg.

    Not exactly fancy transportation for Saddam's casket:

    It's a pickup truck because they're shipping the body to Crawford.
    Where it will be stuffed and mounted.
    Repeatedly, when Laura's not around.

    You know, I'm surprised they didn't send the corpse to D.C. to show alongside Gerry Ford's. Bush might've attended the Saturday services, then.

    that looks like the parking lot at any Home Depot or a scene from Jackass.

    I like this account where, as they're fitting the noose on his head, his hangmen start evoking the name of al-Sadr.
    Sure, we know what we're doing over there.
