Yeah in CDT and EDT we already watched him. Either a few pages back or the end of last nights thread you can read many of the jokes.

[JLS]

Ramsey Clark would of course be his attorney.

Here is one I found before(thought it was too small...dumb me). It is very simple and actually very good.

What happended to Major Bob Bevalaqua? Haven't seen him in over a week?

[GOPyouth]

This is out to anybody, but have there been any links posted tonight with larger photos of the take-down earlier today? The only ones I'm finding are small photos.

Good for her ..

I saw part of it and he sounded like a typical liberal idiot, so I hit the mute botton

[Consort]

I think Major Bob was on last night.

We'll do like the rest of the dopesmokers do. We're selling ornaments. They are 'vases' or statues that just happen to have holes. I have a 'dragon' that my eldest son made in art class. Dang if I don't think his children should have this heirloom. Its in the china cabinet right now. What is very wonderful is that my son is an Army Ranger and is very conservative now. But the pipe stays in my china closet. Mothers don't forget.

This is the best one I have found: Map of Iraq [CAUTION 362071 bytes!]

[TheLion]

Can you enlarge one? I haven't seen any large ones. It would be a keeper!

[Consort]

Download the small ones and enlarge them if you can't find bigger ones.

[Cate]

Of course Ramsey would be the obvious choice. We could sell FP bags of popcorn on the courthouse steps.

As teenagers a friend and I thought it would be cool to grow some dope. Only problem was his parents grew hemp for the US gov during WWII and knew exactly what our Science class project was.

I can do that. Hopefully a good high-res photo will pop up within the day. I want a good clear shot of that statue with the flag over Hussein's head. That was classic!

[spectr17]

I've been looking for pics too. Diogenesis usually does a daily thread of gotta see pics but not today for some reason.

[wolficatZ]

i'll wait and watch so his wisecracks will be fresh lol, thanks for tip though

Sky News Headlines reporting .. Al Jazeera: Heavy Fighting in N.E. of Bagdad

[TheLion]

Wow....The mother of all maps. This one is great. I love the detail...Thanks! Check out the one I posted in #323.

Dang the luck, eh? As the wife of a deputy federal marshal, you won't believe that I grew two plants by accident. I had bought a 'ground cover' at the local farmers market, and sure enough, it covered the ground. Well, as I was weeding the flower bed, I noticed these plants. My husband was not impressed. What it got me was a trip to the 'drug' detectives and a walk through at the farmers market trying to remember who I bought stuff from. It was a long week to say the least. I narrowed it down to two stalls, but that was as close as I could come. It could have been a 'hugh' cash crop for Christmas money... but alas, it was ashes on the bbq before I could protest... hahahhaahaa.

Out of everyone in Saddam's evil regime, I hope that he is alive.

Yeah, I've grown fond of him, although we must admit that no one -- no one at all -- in Saddam's regime got anywhere at all without being a ruthless SOB. I've heard -- but haven't verified -- that Bob got his start snitching off his brother-in-law, who was subsequently executed.

You've got to hand it to him, though -- he got attention, he did his job (and you know he hated making such a fool of himself, if his IQ is anything above his age), and he never waivered.

"I am an [Iraqi] fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard ..." -- you know the drill. He was a soldier, he never surrendered of his own free will, and we must honor that as we balance it against whatever horrible crimes he committed or covered or condoned.

I suspect a trial would -- and should -- lead to his execution, but I don't know his history yet.
