This is the thanks he gets for leaving your Baghdad bureau open while he chopped up reporters and left them in trash bags on their family’s front porches? For shame, Eason.For shame.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Saddam Hussein, the former president of Iraq, was executed by hanging shortly before dawn on Saturday in Iraq, Arab media outlets reported.
The U.S. military and FOX News have not yet confirmed that the execution has taken place. Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya wire services and U.S.-backed TV station Al Hurrah reported his death.
The man dubbed the Butcher of Baghdad was convicted of crimes against humanity for the killing of 148 Shiite men and young boys after their failed assassination attempt in 1982 in the village of Dujail.
Hanging was far too good for the fucker. Katie Couric in tears… developing…
On the bright side, he lived long enough to see his wretched, blood-soaked spawn executed and dangled from the same rope as did many of his victims. Still, hanging was far too good.
UPDATE:
The video* came out quicker than I expected. Now you can enjoy watching Hussein’s death in much the same way he enjoyed watching videos of the deaths of his own victims. Kind of provides a little closure for some, I would think.
*Scratch that - Liveleak has taken down the video. Oh well, it will appear somewhere else soon.
That’s right… thanks to a stroke of good fortune courtesy of Santa Claus, yours truly has entered the I-age. What does this mean? It means that, instead of going through the rigors of trial and error and research, I’m going to bleg my bevy of readers and fellow bloggers for assistance with this mysterious device.
You see, I’m just a cave man, and… well hell, let’s just get on with the questions.
If your car tag expires anytime soon, don’t mail it in. Go to the Farragut Town Hall’s County Clerk’s office and pay it in person. There is a brunette staffer there who is absolutely delicious. In fact, it might even be a good idea to come up with some questions for the County Clerk’s office just to pay her a visit. That’s what I’m planning to do.
It’s not too early to seek clemency for Saddam! Already Human Rights Watch has condemned the verdict as the trial was “deeply flawed”
New York-based Human Rights Watch said the Iraqi appeals court should have conducted a thorough legal review of the verdict.
The rights watchdog last month identified serious flaws in Saddam’s trial, describing the trial in a 97-page report as “marred by so many procedural and substantive flaws that the verdict is unsound.”
Human Rights Watch routinely opposes the use of the death penalty, describing the punishment as inherently inhumane.
This might be a good time to add that Saddam has more than redeemed himself. Since his capture, Hussein has dedicated himself to the cause of educating children. He has already authored several kiddies books including One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Here’s You’re Damn Oil Contract, Where’s My Kickback?, Goldilocks and the Three Friendly Members of the Security Council, Fun With Uday and Qusay and The Gassin’ Kurds Activity Book.
WASHINGTON - The tally for Hurricane Katrina waste could top $2 billion next year because half of the lucrative government contracts valued at $500,000 or greater for cleanup work are being awarded without little competition.
Federal investigators have already determined the Bush administration squandered $1 billion on fraudulent disaster aid to individuals after the 2005 storm. Now they are shifting their attention to the multimillion dollar contracts to politically connected firms that critics have long said are a prime area for abuse.
The Bush administration wasting money!? I can’t believe it.
Earlier this month, the Government Accountability Office said its initial estimate of $1 billion in disaster aid waste was “likely understated,” citing continuing problems in which FEMA doled out tens of millions of dollars in fraudulent housing assistance.
We have a “Government Accountability Office”? Heh.
Well, at least all the debit cards and other handouts to con-artists bought President Junior and the GOP plenty of new votes in ‘06. Oh wait, it didn’t? Crap.

This set would make a perfect gift for that special friend or acquaintance about whom you’ve always wondered. You know, the guy who always refers to his romantic attachments with ambiguous terms like “this person I’m seeing,” yet he never seems to bring a date to the holiday parties.
A gift like this might be the most tactfully tacky way to smoke that guy out of the closet, especially if you’re gay yourself. Give it with a wink, or two, and see what happens. You’ll either get a date out of it, or you might get slugged. Either way, your friend will end up with a pretty nice supply of condiments, with your compliments.
*** Christmas 2006 Update - Speaking of race-based politics, why not pull out this classic from last year’s 12 Days of Christmas Campaign? Play the Race Card this Christmas! Everybody’s doing it!***
Day Four and it’s been nothing but a White Christmas at The Buffet. But once you get past the hostess, the maitre d’ and three or four old honkies sipping cognac by the fireplace - we can inspect the kitchen to see what’s being cooked up for the hard to please liberals still on our to-do lists.
Ummm…smells like trouble.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… THE RACE CARD GAME!
~~~You too can be a winner in the game of life…~~~
If we’re to believe what passes for black leadership in America, you already know that if you’re pigmentationally gifted that you won’t ever be a winner unless Life suddenly turns into a contest to see who can have the highest Cricket cellphone bill ever sent to Collections. We can’t help you win at Life - but by God, you’ll never run out of excuses for failure when you can play - The Race Card!
Need a little extra cash for your coalition? Just show up on Wall Street with your hat in your hand and remind those corporate fat cats who has the power of the media spectacle on their side.
Lookin’ to make a name for yourself in national politics? You might get lucky and draw the manufactured hate crime card and thrust yourself into the media spotlight! Just look out, because those riots can get nasty from time to time.
Need that little extra boost to get into the college of your choice? Then you already know how to play the Race Card Game without even reading the rules!
Angry that your candidate didn’t get elected? You may get lucky and get the voter intimidation card - or even better - you might be voting by butterfly ballots which we all know are very hard to read! Play the right card and you may have grounds for a very profitable lawsuit!
Will you get elected Mayor of Detroit or re-elected to Mayor of Washington? Play ball for the 76ers or get played out by somebody else’s babymama? Be a convicted murderer in a hit HBO movie or will you be a convicted murder put to death by the State of California - you’ll never know until you play “Race Card”!
Experience the soft bigotry of no expectations this Kwanzaa.
The mixed-gender tag team of Stripper Whore and Out-of-Control D.A. lose this round.
Prosecutors dropped rape charges Friday against three Duke University lacrosse players accused of attacking a stripper at a team party, but the three still face kidnapping and sexual offense charges, a defense attorney said.
Joseph Cheshire and attorneys for the other players have said for months the woman told several different versions of the alleged assault.
Cheshire said Friday that the accuser now says she does not know if she was penetrated, which he said led District Attorney Mike Nifong to dismiss the rape charges.
Nifong did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
The accuser, a 28-year-old student at North Carolina Central University, has said three men raped her in a bathroom at a March 13 team party where she was hired to perform as a stripper.
The players _ Dave Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann _ all say they are innocent. Their attorneys have consistently said no sex occurred at the party and have cited a lack of DNA evidence in the case as proof of their clients’ innocence.
“It’s highly coincidental,” Cheshire said, that the charges are being dropped a week after the director of a private DNA testing lab acknowledged that he initially, with Nifong’s knowledge, withheld from the defense test results showing none of the players’ DNA was found on or in the accuser’s body.
Testing also showed that genetic material from several males was found in her undergarments and body.
Since the political-agenda-driven D.A. in this case takes the “victim’s” ever-mutating word as gold, the reason for the dropped charges has to be because she now doesn’t know whether or not she was penetrated. I guess when you’ve got Mammoth Cave between your legs with more customers than the Turkey Creek Target, it’s hard to tell if you’ve been penetrated unless another baby pops out 9 months later. Keep it up sister, and you’ll be giving Shirley Q. Liquor a run for her money before you know it.
And Duke players, don’t think you’re getting off (again) that easy - you’re still male, white and rich, which means you’re guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.
Do you remember back in the Eighties there was a successful fantasy movie called Clash of the Titans? Here’s a quick recap through the haze of a fading memory. Harry Hamlin and his bronzed pecs re-enact highlights from Greek mythology. The effects were the absolute best for their time done by none other than Ray Harryhausen.
I know I could look this up on the Internet, but I’m having more fun winging it. The box office numbers were very good for the genre and that proved to be a double-edged sword (or a Pandora’s box if you want to be consistient).
From that movie, Hollywood let loose an unbroken stream of turds that could cause any geek swear off Renaissance Faires for the rest of his life.
Why do I force you down the dark part of Memory Lane? I do this to warn you and ask you a favor.
Unless you have a pre-teen son who insists, there is no good reason to see Eragon. In fact there are many good reasons just to take your son to a highway overpass and chuck bottles at the passers by. At least you’ll have a bonding experience and not feel you’ve wasted 90 minutes of your life.
Like “Titans” of so long ago, “The Lord of the Rings” appears to have spawned its first knockoff. Sure, just the title Eragon should have been a warning that flashed in my face, but I’m still a little naive to think that Hollywood couldn’t green light such a blatant rip-off.
Poor John Malkovich plays the Sauron dude who was once a Dragon Rider. he betrayed them a generation ago and set himself up a kingdom. His right-hand man is the stereotypical kill-one-henchman-to-show-the-others-just-how-serious-you-are-about-failure. Oh yeah, there is one key difference - he looks exactly like Grima Wormtongue.
The plot isn’t exactly theWar of the Rings. But it is Tolkien Lite. The good guys fight a mini Battle of Helms Deep complete with the dollar store version of the Uruk Hai.
The parts that don’t mimic TLOTR are just pure cliche. Is there a book for lazy filmwriters to just pull up standard characters and plot devices?
Eragon features the Feisty Princess, an Old Drunk who turns out to be The Lost Hero Broken from Years of Despair (a perfectly wasted Jeremy Irons) and of course, English accents that would make Renaissance Faire tourists blush.
I need you people do me a favor and not see it! Let’s send Hollywood a message that we don’t tolerate another rash sword and sorcery flicks.
ps Please don’t tell my son you read this. He couldn’t see my during the movie and thought it was pretty cool.
HOOD RIVER, Ore. - Rescuers looking for three missing climbers on Mount Hood found a body Sunday in the area where one of the climbers made a distress call last week, authorities said.
The dead climber had not yet been identified, said Pete Hughes, a spokesman for the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office. The victim was believed to be one of the three missing climbers, authorities said.
The body was found in a second snow cave near another such cave where rescuers found a sleeping bag, ice axes and rope, officials said.
I spent this Sunday Christmas shopping. You spent it:
Weather conditions have been harsh since the three were reporting missing eight days ago, with heavy snow fall and wind gusts of up to 100 mph. The snow stopped Saturday, but wind up to 50 mph blew the fresh snow, hampering visibility. Skies were blue Sunday, the wind was still, and temperatures at the summit were reported near zero degrees.
Though I’m refraining from busting out the soundtrack to The Big Chill, I can’t help but feel ineffectual to those who purposefully Houdini themselves into the icy tundra and then expect a miraculous rescue in this latest “story of the hour”.
Darwin was wrong. It’s not survival of the fittest. It’s survival by accident. The sooner you realize that, the sooner everybody can stop doing stupid shit that kills them and makes them household names for 10 minutes.
The demented nutcases at TNOYF have opened the Islamic Rage Boy Store. I can’t think of a better way to tell someone you love them then by giving them a blood-spattered rage-boy tee-shirt.
**Since I’ve been such a crap blogger lately, and since Cranky, Smantix and annika have been keeping this place rocking while I’ve been tending to real life™, I figure it couldn’t hurt to bring back some of the classics from last year’s Twelve Days of Christmas Gift Ideas for Liberals Campaign. From now until Christmas, I’ll be pulling some of these out in an effort to hoodwink those of you who weren’t regular readers last year, and to hopefully amuse some of you who remember the originals. - PTH **
Continuing in the Ramahanakwanzmas tradition, Six Meat Buffet brings you Day Three of our 12 Days of Christmas: Last Minute Gift Ideas for Liberals campaign.
Today’s gift: STRATEGO FOR DEMOCRATS!
Sure, you played it as a kid - hell, if you’re enough of a geek, you’ve probably played it as an adult. Line up your army to take on the opposing army and capture their flag, leaving a trail of bloodshed in your wake.
Well, we’ve got the new Stratego for Democrats - fight the War on Terror in the Dim-O-Crack tradition of undercutting, faux “supporting the troops” and a turncoat mainstream press! It worked in Vietnam, it can work in the War on Terror!
When you play traditional Stratego, do you furrow your brow at where to place your high ranking officers? Do you gnash your teeth over how best to protect your flag? Stratego for Democrats relieves you of these worries.
Just like congressional Dim-O-Cracks work in consort with the mainstream press to tie our troops hands in combat, your hands are tied from the very beginning with Stratego for Democrats! All you’ve got are low ranking game pieces and a lot of white flags that you’ve got no way to protect.
And that leaves you wide open, since the enemy in the War on Terror is an ever changing mix of goat-raping islamofascists who hide behind women and use children as human shields. You’re going to have a hell of a time getting through the car bombs on your way to capture their non-existent flag. In other words, you better hope you get the blue team because this war is unwinnable.
So this Christmas, have your own war, the Dim-O-Crack way. Get Stratego for Democrats. Rooting against the home team is always fun, but losing a war has never been this much fun - or this fulfilling! Wage peace and raise the white flag over and over again with your friends. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, all year long!
Fun for the whole family - right up until the beheading!

Check out this Daily Show interview with Dennis Miller.
Although the Daily Show got harder to watch when Jon Stewart and the writers reached their “aw screw it, we’re Liberal and everybody knows it anyway” moment, I still think Stewart is funny and has great moments.
Dennis Miller is everything I love in a conservative comedian, in theory. To this day, I cannot put my finger on why his CNBC show just didn’t have the umph that he had in his HBO series or even on Saturday Night Live.
Both guys are in good form in this video. The chemistry works. In fact, I wish this could take the place of Hannity and Colmes. Miller does well even though he is playing to a respectful but not adoring crowd.

While taking a little rare time out for lunch today, I came across a headline in the ass-end of our local rag’s Sports section. Headline: Study: Whites Dominate NCAA Leadership.
This is obviously unbiased, cutting-edge news gathering, so let’s take a closer look at journalistic excellence in action.
ORLANDO, Fla. Dec 13, 2006 (AP)— White men dominate the leadership positions in college sports, a new study says, with women and minorities making only slow progress moving into the top jobs.
Athletic directors, conference commissioners and university presidents overwhelmingly are white, the study released Wednesday by the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport found.
Aaaah, now we’re getting somewhere. UCF’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport put some of their alleged minds together to come up with a study that — SHOCK! — vilifies white men and the NCAA in one fell swoop. This is good stuff. The table is now set for hilarity. I wonder how deep this AP newshawk had to dig to find a study which so neatly fit his agenda. Onward ho, diversity police!
“There’s a gradual movement toward positive change both in terms of race and gender, but it’s been very slow,” Richard Lapchick, the institute’s director, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “The situation still remains that people who lead college sports in America are still white, which doesn’t reflect the student athletes on the teams they represent.”
Positive change = Throw whitey from the train.
Head coaching positions also reflected a big disparity between whites and blacks.
Basketball was a bright spot of sorts, but even in that sport 25.2 percent of all Division I head coaches were black (an all-time high), and yet blacks made up 57.8 percent of Division I basketball players.
This is puzzling. According to the 2000 Census, blacks make up 12.3% of the overall population. Therefore, blacks are grossly over-represented as both players and coaches in college basketball. Consequently, I am in the planning process of organizing a committee of one to study this race inequity in college basketball. If we have to have quotas for white players and coaches, that will just have to be the way it is. Less dunky, more passy.
Blacks make up 43.7 percent of women’s Division I basketball teams, but only 9.3 percent of those teams are coached by black women even though that number increased 1.6 percentage points in 2004-05.
And of that 9.3 percent, only 75 percent of those coaches admitted to being lesbians, which is considered low when compared to the rest of womens’ college basketball. But we’re talking about race here, not who likes to have a box lunch after practice.
Ooooh. Speaking of that, it’s unironic that the ABC News website ran this picture of Donna Shalala along with their story…
NCAA headquarters received high marks from the study, with 18.8 percent of vice president/chief of staff positions represented by blacks, and 25 percent represented by women.
The NCAA’s vice president for Diversity and Inclusion, Charlotte Westerhaus, said NCAA headquarters was demonstrating leadership but there still was progress to be made throughout college sports.
“We want to celebrate the progress but at the same time we want to acknowledge that we are not where we could be as far as diversity,” Westerhaus said. “The NCAA is doing everything we can to support our membership in effectuating open and fair hiring practices.”
Again, blacks are over-represented at NCAA Headquarters and something should be done about that - also, at what point did women become “minorities”? Even more importantly, where can I get a job like “Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion”? All you have to do is sit around your office and divide people up by race and fire off the occasional report that says “there be too many whiteys up in here.”
I think the Buffet needs a Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion. I nominate annika.
Eason Jordan is back and starting a new Iraq news “slog”. Apparently unburdened by U.S. Military crosshairs on his back, Jordan is safe to announce, nay proclaim,
“Iraq is the story of our time,” he declares. His goal for the site is for it to become nothing less than “the world’s premier Iraq-focused information source” — and with no “political slant.”
The great thing about this business is, you always get a second chance. To smack around a world-class moron.
Bobbing to the surface again is CNN’s ex-president Eason Jordan, who resigned in disgrace after telling lies about U.S. war crimes, suddenly interested in the truth from Iraq.
We’re all pretty much agreed that Ahamadinejad is a whack job with a stiffie for Israel’s destruction.
Here’s what is really distubing - Commenters on the Guardian website to this article.
Sadly, they weren’t able to attend but they do send their best wishes.
Jose from New Mexico:
It is a shame that we here in the western world cannot criticise Israeli atrocities without being labelled anti-semitic. The Palestinians are just as semitic as are the jews. Israel does use the holocaust for political purposes, and they do act like they are entitled to own the world because of the holocaust. It is a shame that people are denied their freedom of speech in so-called democratic civilized countries. Here in New Mexico the press is very afraid of these holocaust exaggerators and the eager-to-sue offended Jew. Jews are the most anti-semitic, it is they who are savagely killing the Palestinians
Ah, the joys of bilingual education. Having no freakin’ clue in two languages. That’s nothing compared to this clown:
Ahmadinejad is a fool to be stirring this particular pot, all that will come of it is that 99.5% of the media will compare him to Hitler as will individuals more deserving of that comparison (Bush/Blair etc).
I agree with him that it is scandalous that most European countries have anti-free speech laws when it comes to this issue and i understand his intention is to divert attention to the plight of the Palestinians but most people will just see a smallish dark haired man with a moustache making incideniary speeches
The gist - You’re right on brother. The Holocaust is just a distraction from the Zionist mass murder of the Palestinians, but don’t call attention to yourself. You’ll end up being called Hitler, a title which rightfully belongs to Bush and Blair.
Also, Let peace begin with me - by slaughtering the Zionists! We are all Hezbollah!
Next up, Nazi Mind Tricks!
If the history is true, why afraid of being debated? If the history is true, why would it be necessary to impose criminal laws to safeguard its authenticity?* Would such a kind of laws bear a similar satire as the Chinese saying, ‘There’s absolutely no 300-catty silver in this place’?
I believe true history cannot be denied no matter how hard you’ve been trying, unless the so-called truth is itself not durable through the times.
Do you think he wants a debate or maybe, just maybe, he’s made up his mind already.
Question; this thing going on in Iran is a debate? Really?
*Full disclosure. I don’t think there ought to be laws against Holocaust denial.
Now you know why I hate the Far Left so passionately.
