1. Obama wrote in both his books, “Dreams From My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope,” that he spent two years in a Muslim school and another two years in a Catholic school while living in Indonesia from age 6 to 10.
2. He did NOT attend a madrassa, but rather a public school
3. He’s been a member of the Christian church for nearly 20 years.
I could go on, but why bother….
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Saddam Hussein will be hanged before dawn on Saturday in Iraq, before 6 a.m. (10 p.m. Friday ET), according to Appeals Judge Munir Haddad. The paperwork is in order for Hussein’s execution, and the judge echoed a widespread belief that the hanging could be imminent.
Haddad, a judge on the appeals court that upheld the former dictator’s death sentence, and an adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki each confirmed the paperwork preparation late Friday.
“All the procedures have been completed,” Haddad said.
The judge also said there is no need for a presidential decree for the implementation of the execution. He said once the handover is completed, “the sentence will be carried out swiftly, without any delay. God willing.”
Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about this. He probably deserves to die, but as much as I used to be for capital punishment, I am starting to believe that a life behind bars is much more of a punishment than dying. Furthermore, the consequences of him being put to death in terms of possible political uprisings and martyrdom may outweigh the benefits of an execution for deterrence factors. (did that sentence make sense?) Anyway, off to the gallows with Hussein. Let freedom ring… *rolls eyes*
*wipes brow*
I lost quite a bit of sleep last night worried about her fate… I am so happy that Miss USA will NOT be fired and given a second chance. I’m equally as happy that it was a ‘top story’ on CNN.com.
…and the Daily Show is another reason I wish i had cable. Totally worth the 10 minutes to watch the entire clip. GW and his Job.
I haven’t had cable for years, and am pretty proud of that fact. There are times, however, that I wish I did had cable. Most recently, it was when I learned of the new show on TvLand, I Pity the Fool

Mr. T motivating people and spouting ‘rules for fools’ … Awesome.
I feel my life could use some T-Style motivation sometimes…
Browsing the headlines via an RSS feed, I came across this one: Many injured in Turkey explosion
My hopes were quickly dashed when I clicked the link and found out that it had nothing to do with combusting poultry.
Such a sad moment…
have you ever had the burning desire to see George Costanza dancing in the streets singing about “keeping the hot side hot and the cool side cool?”
