2007!

So, 2007 is upon us! I wish all of you, my faithful readers, a very happy New Year!

2006 was a good year for me, and I hope that 2007 will prove even better. I am celebrating alone this evening, but that’s okay. I am here, after all, to celebrate! I shall enter the new year as I have for the last three years, praying to a god that I don’t really believe in that our brave young men and women in the military come home from the Iraq quagmire and we can put all of this behind us.

Remember, dear friends! Those in power no longer appeal to our dreams, they only appeal to our nightmares to further their terrible cause! Resist! Resist!

And have a very happy 2007!

A Farewell

Saddam Is Dead!

Saddam To Hang Before 10 p.m. EST

I do not support the war in Iraq, but I will be very happy to hear that a butcher like Saddam Hussein has been hanged for his crimes against his people, and the people of Kuwait.  Sic semper tyrranus.

From the A.P.:

Official: Saddam to Be Executed Tonight

 

By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA and QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA
Associated Press Writers

BAGHDAD, Iraq

The official witnesses to Saddam Hussein’s impending execution gathered Friday in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone in final preparation for his hanging, as state television broadcast footage of his regime’s atrocities.

The Iraqi government readied all the necessary documents, including a “red card” _ an execution order introduced during Saddam’s dictatorship. As the hour of his death approached, Saddam received two of his half brothers in his cell on Thursday and was said to have given them his personal belongings and a copy of his will.

Najeeb al-Nueimi, a member of Saddam’s legal team in Doha, Qatar, said he too requested a final meeting with the deposed Iraqi leader. “His daughter in Amman was crying, she said ‘Take me with you,’” al-Nueimi said late Friday. But he said their request was rejected.

An adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Saddam would be executed before 6 a.m. Saturday, or 10 p.m. Friday EST. The time was agreed upon during a meeting between U.S. and Iraqi officials, said the adviser, who declined to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media.

“The time has been agreed upon. It will be done by six o’clock in the morning,” the adviser said. “The agreement was reached during a meeting between Iraqi and American officials. Saddam will be handed over shortly before the execution.”

The Stupidest Commercial I’ve Seen In A While

A really dumb commercial for IE 7 (naturally).

Exactly, Southern Idiots!!

R.I.P. Gerald Ford

 Former President Gerald R. Ford died this morning, according to his wife Bette.  Ford came into office upon the resignation of Richard Nixon on August 9, 1974.  Nixon chose Ford to replace disgraced former Vice President Spirow Agnew, and thus Ford became the first un-elected President of the United States.  He made the couragous choice to pardon Nixon in September, 1974, thus sparing the nation a potentially difficult trial and the image of a former president in prison.  Although widely criticized for this move at the time, most historians believe that Ford made the right choice, even though it most likely cost him the 1976 election.

Rest in peace, Gerald R. Ford.
