Weird, how much this bugs me.

[apocalypsos]

The top three sarcastic responses I made in my head to Saddam Hussein's execution:

1. I haven't checked Guinness yet. Did we beat the land-speed record for execution?
2. So now will the Iraqi people be giving me my pony?
3. Great news! I've always wanted world peace!

I know he was a dictator and all, but something about the whole thing makes me cringe.

I was just asking someone at work the other day who they thought the third celebrity death would be after James Brown and Gerald Ford. Funny, you think I would have put my (not really any) money on Saddam.

I'm just happy we've brought civilisation and justice to Iraq.

Oh, and depressed that there are actually people who will A) Not see the sarcasm in the above sentence and B) Will then agree with it.

I'm glad you put that second part, because for a second I was like "wtf, who is this ignorant moron?"

*hangs head* I got about 3 hours sleep broken up into nice bite-sized chunks last night, does that excuse me?
