BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's prime minister on Saturday urged his countrymen to accept the impending verdict against Saddam Hussein without violence, then in the next breath declared the former dictator must get "what he deserves" with the decision that could send him to the gallows.

Yeah, I know. I don't like bread, so I eat nearly everything on tortillas instead.

Explosion in Baghdad?

Heard one about 15 minutes ago. Posted it here.

We are very fortunate that we have Free Republic.

I still think the Iraqis should have done what the Romanians did with Ceausescu after they captured him, they tried, convicted and executed him within 24 hrs. End of story.

OMG! Haven't been able to get on line for a couple of days and am now playing catch up. Just saw the video of kerry's speech only he's drunk in this one. That's got to be the funniest thing I've seen in ages.

Amen! And Happy Birthday JimRob!

I hate when Fox doesn't go live at times like this. Last time this happened I think they finally got the janitor to do the reporting. Sheesh!

And the Romanian news announcer came on that night and opened the newscast with "The Anti-Christ has been executed on Christmas Day."

Fox News reported earlier that everything you see on TV is on a 30-minute delay, that the defendants will each be able to make a speech first, followed by a recess, and then the verdicts - with Saddam facing justice last.

It should be a while.

LOL--- my bod is mad? LOL-LOL-LOL --- I know I am mad --- I guess my bod might as well be mad too. The other night, I did eat some sugar free chocolate instant pudding --- it was sort of awful but I ate it anyway. :)

The wheels of justice grind slow, but they grind exceeding fine.

Who's up watching but us news junkies?

Very moist. Use the broth from the gizzards/neck cooked with onion, carrots, celery (mashed) and olive oil, some Smart Balance, butter buds, Bell's seasoning, salt, pepper. Cook in covered casserole (altho I use the micro) ........ YUMM.

[Rte66]

Not pie, just punkins.
