I'm embarrassed to ask this, but was...

[Haole Girl]

...Saddam Hussein's execution televised, here, in the U.S.? Or, anywhere?

I've sort of been out of it the past couple of days. Now I'm wondering...did I just hear that from someone or is it the truth? I mean....I know he was executed (death by hanging), but was it televised?

Could anybody else please help me out?

:shrug:

p.s., Yes, I'm still sick with a fever...but I feel a little better than yesterday...and I can still talk. Luckily, I have the next 2 days off.

1. I don't think so, but there are videos all over the net

I've seen 'em. Looked like a travesty of justice, imo.

2. Thank you

I thought that would be strange, but I don't put anything past this current administration.

3. I think many news stations aren't showing footage, but are giving links to viewers...

...who do want to see it.

From what I've heard, FOX was practically cumming at the news of his death :puke:

5. We've entered, yet, into another stage...

...haven't we?

[WindRavenX]

6. Oh yes. Plus DU has been a fucking NUTHOUSE

I have never seen as many loons as I have in GD. I mean, if you want to be mind fucked, go there.

Oh, of all the weeks to go without pot...it HAD to be this one...

[Haole Girl]

7. Hold on!

:hug:

9. Wednesday I'm going to Oregon--good bud there

I'll need it to deal with my damn psycho parents...

11. It was bad enough when Tookie Williams was executed...

I shudder to think how it is now. (I haven't checked, haha.)

14. you are, without a doubt, wiser than me

I have this thing where if there's a trainwreck, I need to be there. x(

19. "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking pot."

[WindRavenX]

20. you'll have to excuse my ignorance--I was born in '85 and don't get that reference

What is it from? :hi:

[ok_cpu]

21. A movie that was made 5 years before you were born

called "Airplane". He works his way up from it being a bad week to quit smoking to sniffing glue and taking amphetamines.

Well, it's 9:30 already. Time for the fogies to go to bed. I have a big dinner at Denny's tomorrow at 4:00...

10. I Picked The Wrong Week To Stop Sniffing Glue.

Of all the things on Earth I don't ever want to see, it's somebody -- anybody -- being executed. At some point I'm sure Pox "News" will soon give in to their drooling, slavering freeper audience and actually show the hanging on prime time.

:puke:

12. for me, it's the damn near orgasmic joy that Freepers are taking in on his death

No one should mourn his death, but for fuck's sake, you don't turn it into a bloodlust or take joy in it.

22. Lots of people here were celebrating when Pinochet died.

[Haole Girl]

16. I read an LA Times story a few months ago about...

...a reporter witnessing an execution. I think he said it best when he said, "No man should know the date of his own death."

There are times, for example child murderers, when I am tempted to advocate the death penalty...but I know, in my heart, it is wrong. And, when we murder...anyone...we become them....in a way. Does that make sense?

17. oops, dupe

13. I'm Sure One Could Probably Download It To Their i Pod by Now!

:pals:

[WindRavenX]

15. yeah, the videos are all over the web
