LOL. This is a day to put the hair in a pony tail, dinner in the slow cooker, and admit you are going to FREEP all day. That's my plan.
The goons in the Lounge backroom have a box of White Owls ready to pass out when the news breaks....
That was a couple hours from being another ShepSmith "Nonononononononono!" moment.
LOL!
LOL! This needs to wrap up by 3:00---I've GOT to get my hair cut ;-)
YOU'VE GOT ME DANGLING ON A STRING -- Chairmen of the Board
You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
My life will surely stop
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose
I'm not half the man that I used to be, and I'll admit it
Your love has become a habit to me, and I can't quit it
Won't you take this half a man and make this man whole again?
You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
'Cause you're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
The feeling is strong and I can't let go
Every time I phone, your number's changed or disconnected
You have made my life a book of games--I feel so rejected
Girl, you've got the best of me, now come and take the rest of me
You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
You're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose
Girl, my nights are so lonely
Ooh, I'm needing you only
I only drink enough from your loving cup to keep me thirsty
Girl my need for you is oh so strong until it hurts me
You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
You're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
The feeling is strong and I can't let go
You've got me dangling on a string...
"He's dead, Jim..."
The confusion was all over the place earlier.
Pinging to watch...

Speculation, Secrecy Shrouds Saddam's Final Hours
By Ibon Villelabeitia
BAGHDAD, Dec 29 (Reuters)(SNIP)
U.S.-backed al Hurra television quoted unnamed sources as saying workers were busy erecting the gallows in the Green Zone government citadel by the Tigris.
Lawyers said they had been told to collect Saddam's belongings and that Saddam was allowed a visit by his brothers on Thursday -- a right a condemned man has before he is hanged.
Another lawyer said prison guards had taken away a small radio Saddam had been given several months ago and that the former strongman had sensed "something was happening." (SNIP)
The prison is down the street from a lavish palace Saddam built on an artificial lake which is now used as headquarters by U.S. generals.
(SNIP) If he is treated like other convicts, he could be hooded and dressed in green overalls with his hands bound behind his back. Under Iraq's penal code, Saddam will be allowed to make a final statement if he wishes. ((Editing by Paul Hughes)) Keywords: IRAQ/SADDAM SCENE
There is no shortage of execution songs:
Hang Down your Head, Tom Dooly
Gotta Get a Message to You
Bohemian Rhapsody
Dang Me
Hi Sionnsar,
It's a great day for a hangin'
Although I thought New Years Eve would be better right at the stroke of midnight.
That picture needs to be broadcast worldwide upon the hanging, lest anyone feel any remorse for "poor" Saddam.
