Saddam gets the death penalty, and the GOP spokesmonkey on Meet The Press this morning hails his impending execution as “moving toward democracy.”

Born in the wild to Canadian Timberwolves, Fang was wrestled from his mother's teat at an early age and placed in the custody of a government sponsored think tank in New York City. He escaped at age seven by gnawing off a doo-claw and has been riding a wave of self-righteous indignation to Nowheresville, baby, ever since. He is currently enjoying being a PhD (by marriage), but on the advice of his attorney has refused all comment except to assert an apparently deeply-held conviction that frozen strawberries should be thawed, not microwaved.

As I grow older, I find myself less and less approving of the death penalty and more approving of the punishment fitting the crime. Why can't Saddam (yes, we're on a first name basis -- that's a joke if anyone from the government is reading this) have paid forward to him the atrocities he paid to others?
Just a thought.

Tomorrow, I get to vote against Wisconsin reinstating the death penalty. My mom argues that if people like Saddam were in charge, pacifists like me would be wiped out and that barbarians always wipe out thinking people.
So, I'm a thinking person. Fine.
And what does that make the government(s) that rendered this verdict? As if any of this execution business will help heal the region in any way....
