Insert A Trite Metaphor for A Corral #11

Posted on December 30, 2006 in Roundup

This time I am going to mention the big news and favorite blog commentary topic of the day, which is, of course, the hanging of Saddam Hussein. A short reaction to what I have seen over buzztracker: there are a lot of sickos out there. I don’t care who it is. A death is not an opportunity for a carnival.

• Actual Footage of Hussein on the Gallows – You don’t see him swing, however
• On the Gallows, Curses for U.S. and ‘Traitors’ – And Persians, meaning Iranians
• Saddam: The death of a dictator – And the making of a martyr?
• Saddam’s fate fuels death-penalty critics
• US welcomes Saddam hanging, Europe opposes execution
• The Most Expensive Arrest and Execution Ever–Worth It?
• Hussein Divides Iraq in His Death as He Did in Life
• Arab Reaction to the Death of Hussein

Glad that is over….Now on to the rest of the news.

• Don’t Surrender Any More Teeth to the Tooth Fairy – You mean, some people were waiting for a scientific study to tell them this?
• Hajj pilgrims ‘stone the devil’ – (CHEAP SHOT ALERT) But he’s on his Texas ranch….
• Sex Offenders in Exile
• Homes Sell, and History Goes Private – A lesson in losing our heritage
• Human, Sea Slug Brains Share Genes for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s – makes sense to me….;)
• Bush White House still promoting creationism
• 2007 may be the year for mental health parity bill
