There are some people who just need killing.

There are one or two dates missing from the end, but you can bet it is "in the can"
OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL....go right ahead. I'd rather see XS than recipes, especially since I'm a terrible cook!! LOLOL
"You can't hang Saddam! I haven't had his baby yet!"
This sentiment echoes precisely what Marvin Kalb was saying on FNC a few mins ago. The American news media is hoping to prod the violence right along.
I'll bet Nancy Pelosi is one mad hatter right about now. First President Ford's funeral will pre-empt her week of partying over her power, now Hussein's execution....
