Ding-dong the wretch is dead.

Saddam Hussein was hanged today. I'm sorry, but a hand grenade down a spider hole a long time ago would have saved a whole lot of money and misery. I've read articles on celebrations in the streets to denunciations by the Vatican. Everyone is going to have an opinion, and none of them are going to matter.

The butcher is dead, and may his 72 virgins all look like Rosie O'Donnell.

I'll take my cue on what to think about this from a Star Tribune editorial---they denounced it, although they had enough double-speak in the editorial to cover their butts and make people think that on some level they thought it was somewhat OK, and of course they used the opportunity to bash the president and the decision to invade Iraq. I have a basic rule of thumb; if the Star Tribune opposes it, then it must have been the right thing to do.
