Curiouser and Curiouser

Its the second week of school and it feels like the eighth week. I don’t know how any of us are going to survive when the work starts coming in. Fortunately, we have a new drama room to while away our time.

In other news, I’ve found out that all you need to do to get citizenship in the US or Britain these days is to enlist in their army. Course, you’d be sent directly to Iraq to be shot at by angry villagers with AKs and rocket-launchers. Which isn’t so bad if you are, in fact, an Iraqi yourself.

Speaking of Iraq, remember that crazy muthafucka who swung on a rope a while back?

BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) — All eyes will be on the empty chair in the dock on Monday when the genocide trial of the ousted Iraqi leadership resumes in Baghdad.

So basically, they found some of his lackeys and decide to put them on trial. But unfortunately the main witness has checked out. Well, that’s weird.

Impressions Maliki rushed the hanging through in haste ahead of the New Year, at the start of a Muslim holiday, were reinforced on Sunday when lawyers and an official said two of Saddam’s aides, now on death row, were meant to hang with him but were spared at the last minute for “logistical” reasons.

“Impressions Maliki” is an especially odd name. But anyway… So. They rushed his hanging for the New Year. As this guy said, what happens in 2006 is old news. I suppose its not particularly funny, but its still a bit strange.

Curiouser and curiouser. Lots of things are happening these days that almost seem a lot like the basis for the next great thriller novel. Commie spies, the church and terrorist. Plus the freaky weather. We should seriously write a book on this stuff.
