1. Sounds like you have a pretty damned level-headed 15 year old there. |

He doesn't quite get the specifics yet, but I have patience. :)

6. By Sunday, many people might say, "Saddam who?" |
|
Really. Especially people who DGAS, i.e., don't give a shit. Hey, I coined a phrase maybe.
I want Saddam and Ford to go away so I can hear Waxman and Rangel and Leahy and Boxer and anyone who counts to start wailing away on what I think is important. And ironically, it goes back to Iraq, dimson, and perhaps the death penalty!

7. I haven't discussed it with my 15-yr-old yet |
|
but I sure hope it's not that matter of fact to him. I think I'll have a discussion with him to make sure he understands why I find executing people an utterly uncivilized and vile practice, no matter whom is being executed. :(
