And now for a month of specials for the president who wasn't elected.
R.I.P. Ford - the first president I did a report on.

Well, as legend goes, Syd killed Hunter S. Thompson. At least you're in good company.

Yup, it's been pretty much reported everywhere.
Goodnight, funnyman.

Say what you want about me, but I just can't take joy in the death of someone, regardless of what they may have done. I think it would have served better to have him imprisoned until he died. He would have lived a segregated, tortured imprisonment for 10, 20 or even 30 years.
But, I'm not about to start a debate about capital punishment.

In most cases I would agree with you Tish. It's sad when we have to take a life in order to protect other lives. But in this case, it's healthy for the Iraqi people to have closure in this way. It certainly will not solve the situation over there, but I still think it's a good thing.
Also, long live Yakov Smirnoff. That gave me a good laugh Spanky.

Hi Cattivo... I disagree with what you said. Closure doesn't come from killing. Closure results from acceptance, and you don't need to kill to accept what has happened. People, especially the victims of crime, seem to think that "catching the person" or making sure the person "goes away for good" will bring closure. They are mostly wrong. Even those who's perpetrators aren't caught will have closure through the acceptance of the event.
A large number of people actually find closure through forgiveness.
I don't want to go all psychologist, so I'll stop now.

Like I said, in most cases I would agree with you. I believe that this is a special case.

oh,and fuck saddam. he was a murderous bastard who killed his own people at will. i don't care if capital punishment is right or not,he got what was fucking coming to him. bottom line.

Fuck, that's funny.
Jimmy Carter is a pretty damn nice guy, though.

I take joy in Saddam's death. I'm of the belief that one less bad guy on the face of the planet can't be a bad thing.
As far as closure goes, theres a bunch of Kurds in the north and Iraqi-Americans in Dearborn which seem to gain serious closure from it.
/opposite end of the hang Saddam spectrum it seems

I have nothing against Jimmy Carter, it's just an age joke.
Carter is probably the best ex-president ever. His presidency was rather marginal, but he's done all sorts of amazing stuff since he left office. Habitats for Humanity in particular is a fantastic venture.

I think that not only should they hang him, they should parade his body through the streets. I agree with Kubo.

I'm all for a Mussolini-like spectacle. Let's string him up upside-down and pelt his corpse with rotten tomatoes. I'm sure the Shi-ites and the Kurds will have the time of a lifetime.
