SADDAM TO DIE BY HANGING!

BAGHDAD, Nov 5 (Reuters) - A U.S.-backed Iraqi court on Sunday sentenced toppled leader Saddam Hussein to death by hanging for crimes against humanity. The ousted president, visibly shaken, shouted out "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Greatest) and "Long live the nation!". The Iraqi High Tribunal also handed down death sentences to former revolutionary chief judge Awad Hamed al-Bander and Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti. Former Iraqi vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan was sentenced to life in prison. The charges stemmed from the killing of 148 Shi'ite men in Dujail after an assassination attempt against Saddam in 1982. A death sentence or life imprisonment generates an automatic appeal, delaying any execution by months at least. Saddam has said he wants to face a military firing squad, not the hangman.

This whole thing took only about 30 minutes. That was incredibly fast. Now, those sentenced to death get an automatic appeal. After the appeal process is completed, the sentences must be carried out within 30 days. Still haven't seen the footage of Saddam in court. That's going to be interesting. Everyone is seeing the tape at the same time. He's being called into the courtroom. Switching to al-Jazeera. Judge telling him to stand up, but he won't. Guards standing him up. "LONG LIVE THE COUNTRY, LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE, GOT IS GREAT, GOD IS GREAT!" These cowardly thugs are all alike. He's continuing to shout. Now it's his half-brother's turn to get the bad news. He headed Saddam's intelligence agency. Kind of like Heinrich Himmler. He comes in shouting before even hearing the verdict. Gunfire is heard in Baghdad. Probably celebratory. Th-th-th-th-th-that's all, folks.

Lone Ranger said...: I think you got it backward, rick. It's the Shiites who are celebrating the sentence and the Sunnis who oppose it. I really wish it were the other way around, because then I could have made a joke about the Shiite hitting the fan.; 8:51 AM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
