Instead of handing over Saddam Hussein could they not give him his own late night talk show?

It could work and at least give him some use and the jokes would be funny...

"When they said my next guest was called Kurt I thought they said Kurd and I immediately got out my machine gun... but it turns out they meant Kurt Russell, the action star. So give some applause to the only motherfucker even badder than me - Kurt Russell".

Saddam and Friends Kiddy Hour sounds more plausible to me.

We know he likes Frank.

I see him as a David Letterman, wise cracking kind of guy - playing on his reputation as a badass, but coming across as a bit of a comedian.

shit, i can't find a screen cap of the "Hitler & Friends" bit that _The Family Guy_ did in one ep...

What a fresh concept.

Except when you go to jump on the wall of velcro it's electrified or it easily gives way and you fall into a pit of ravenous crocodiles. Oh the mirth!

*holds Ned back and tries to push him further down the block*

Dude, Ned. It's totally not worth it, man. Just walk away, dude. Just walk away.

Ned's munty mum. Still funny. I salute whomever is responsible.

So that'll be you, saluting yourself, in a mirror, like Arnold Rimmer.

(note: I am not insinuating C-Man is cool enough to be Rimmer)

― Krankenhaus, Monday, 28 June 2004 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I misread that as 'C-Man not cool enough to be a rimmer', and I thought to myself, 'That's not something I ever expected to hear required cool.'

four weeks pass...

Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein spends his time in solitary confinement writing poems, tending a garden, reading the Koran and eating American muffins and cookies, a British newspaper has reported.

Amin said Saddam "was regaining weight again" after putting himself on a diet in which he "resisted all fatty foods and had lost 11 pounds."

ATKINS DIET

Every nation loves to pretend the wars they start are wholly in defense of some or other sacred principle. Paying off some shitheel dictator $1 billion to retire to the Cote de Azure and thereby sidestep a hugely costly and destructive war just doesn't sit well with any politician, after they've repeatedly claimed the moral high ground, even if it makes a tonne of sense. It smells too much of convenience and compromise.

"American muffins"
stay away from me!
"American cookies"
Putting on kay-gee!
