Last Words on the Execution of Saddam

December 31st, 2006 2 Comments

I’ve received an email giving The Bull a ration of shyte on my take of the death of the ‘Butcher of Baghdad’, Saddam Hussein. I reviewed the latest video showing the entire execution. There was nothing there to change my mind. Saddam was taunted by his executioners, he taunted them back. He then began his [...]

I stampeded over to Bushwhack’s blog, American and Proud, found the following, and promptly stole it. Hope he don’t mind…

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Did Saddam deserve his fate? Of course! No doubt about it.

The Bull hates to see any man dragged to his execution whimpering, though. It was this fate I had feared, not that I have any sympathy for the despot. I have to say that Saddam Hussein showed remarkable calm and presence of mind as he [...]

A Sudden Shift in Fortune?

December 29th, 2006 No Comments

The Bull has been somewhat taken aback by the sudden shift in fortunes this week! Though there was bad news on the ex-wife front at the start of the week, that news was immediately quashed by news that I had won a Mosin-Nagant 7.62×54mm rifle from a local dealer. (Pick it up Saturday.) It has [...]

Saddam: Die like a Man

December 26th, 2006 No Comments

BAGHDAD, Iraq — An Iraqi appeals court has upheld the death sentence imposed on Saddam Hussein at his first trial, Iraq’s national security adviser said Tuesday, and a tribunal official said the verdict will be carried out even if the presidency doesn’t ratify it.

Now, Saddam, take your medicine and die like a man. [...]

A Moment at Waffle House

December 21st, 2006 No Comments

It has been a while since I took time to write. This right foot of mine has drawn me away from the computer while I battle the infection. The medications do not make things any easier. Considering how my mood shifts when I don’t write I suppose I should listen to my wife, children, and [...]

More on the Foot

Do you ever get the feeling that somehow you just can’t get things right?

That’s the way I feel about surgeries. I seem to pull through each one - even the really dangerous ones - just fine. I follow every request of my doctors to the letter. Yet somehow during the healing process something always goes [...]

Something to Make You Cringe

December 10th, 2006 No Comments

Sometimes a small story comes down the wire that not only catches your eye, but also has a huge “pucker factor”. This wee tale is most definitely one of those stories! I caught this one over at Fox News. They snatched it from the Associated Press. I had to start a new category for [...]

Despite being brought near to ruin by financial tom-foolery we have stood together and found ourselves strong! A new set of By-Laws, a SOP, and a sound business plan were presented to the Membership for review. [...]
