The smoking ban takes effect tomorrow. Scott and I broke from our non-smoking lifestyles and joined the smokers at the Rogue to help them celebrate their watering hole ritual one last time.

Dear God,
Thank you for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Love, Paolo
P.S. I posted a new photo album.
Down With the S.H.I.T.
"I am not afraid of execution," said S.H.I.T. (Saddam Hussein in Trial). That's probably a good thing because I think it's coming to him.
S.H.I.T. and his council, which includes former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, have argued that he cannot get a fair trial while Iraq is occupied by the U.S. I don't think the guy and get a fair trial anywhere and he shouldn't expect to. It's amazing that he can even stand trial. I don't recall any fair trials under his regime. I only seem to recall genocide.
There have been many critics, including myself, who have been quick to hold the U.S. accountable for its actions in war (see previous post). However, it is amazing (and honorable) that the U.S. let the guy live to stand trial - and now S.H.I.T. is complaining about it. Look at these quotes, courtesy of the AP:
"I am not afraid of execution," said Saddam, who then addressed the judge, saying, "I realize there is pressure on you and I regret that I have to confront one of my sons. But I'm not doing it for myself. I'm doing it for Iraq. I'm not defending myself. But I am defending you."
"When the revolution of the heroic arrives, you will be held accountable."
"This game must not continue, if you want Saddam Hussein's neck, you can have it! I have exercised my constitutional prerogatives after I had been the target of an armed attack."
What is up with S.H.I.T referring to himself in third-person in that last quote? I thought only rappers did that. Anyway, I'm quite sick of the guy complaining. He's lucky to be alive, and, regardless of when or where he stands trial, the verdict will be the same. His Michael Jackson-esque courtroom antics won't change the fact that justice will be served sooner than later.
Welcome Rocco, Cosmo, Whatever Your Name Is
Mom got a new pet. Apparently it's a dog, but I'm waiting on some test results to confirm that. The name of the animal is Rocco.
The "dog" is allegedly a Schnoodle, which is a cross between a Poodle and Schnauzer. Schnoodles can get their asses kicked by cats easily. Sam, our cat, is reportedly sharpening his claws and planning an attack.
UPDATE (and a parody from Cider House Rules):
Dr. Larch: Rocco was adopted by a family today. We should all be happy for him. Let us all say goodnight to Rocco.
All: Goodnight, Rocco.
Dr. Larch: Good night, you kings of Maine, you princes of New England.
End Scene. (Interpret: Mom had to return the puppy.)
UPDATE: The dog, renamed Cosmo Kramer, has returned a happier, healthier puppy. Mom is happy.
