What an assclown.
What does he do during Ramadan when they are supposed to fast from sun up to sun down? He must keep a bag of cookies in his desk drawer.
Hope he got a BLT for dinner.
Darn! Oh well, there's alway hope with Cindy Sheehan and her tantrum...
Oh, to be the cook.
For a minute there, I thought this was one of yours.
What a brave man. LOL.
That looks tasty, I've never had one.
He really must have been serious about this protest. Ha! He didnt last no time at all.
HMMMMMMMMMMM I missed lunch.......where is my dinner?
". . . not anti-Fluff." LOL!!
We used to eat Fluff and PB all the time in grammar school on lunch breaks at home. One day we didn't rinse the knife and just put it in the sink and when we came home after school there were ants all over the place!
Darn! Oh well, there's alway hope with Cindy Sheehan and her tantrum...
I'm afraid after the 4th of July, We won't have Willie with us any more. He can't afford to miss a meal.
Close. Here's the real inside story...
Saddam Hunger Strike Ends
After six straight agonizing hours without food, deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has ended his hunger strike. The strike was launched to protest the use of a generic substitute for his customary Kellogg's Fruit Loops.
Curtis Debabbler, a human rights lawyer who has been retained to defend Saddam Hussein, labeled the shift to generic Fruity Hoops as shabby and indecent. This man was absolute ruler of a sovereign nation of over 20 million people, said Debabbler. To try to foist this inferior substitute on him is another chapter in the book of American atrocities committed in Iraq.
Debabbler asserted that the indignity and unbearable hunger pangs forced Saddam to cut his strike short. Saddam had wanted to hold out until dinner, said Debabbler. But the aroma of the Sloppy Joes that were being served to the other prisoners in his cell block broke his spirit. It is tactics like these that illustrate why America is hated around the world.
Debabbler says he will be filing a writ to demand Saddams release on the grounds that he has already suffered enough. Considering the round-the-clock confinement Saddam has suffered over the last two-and-one-half years, we think commuting his ultimate sentence to time-served would be an equitable settlement of the charges against him, said Debabbler.
