Saddam Execution Haiku Party!

Head over to Meryl Yourish’s place and haiku away!

Lies!

Do not believe any lies from Saddam’s defense attorneys (primarily Ramsay Clark, who is a rare exception to the “Don’t leave a man behind” rule of the Marines) are spreading regarding the handover of Saddam Hussein.
No handover of Saddam Hussein has taken place.

What is Mahmoud Abbas Praying For? #18

It’s Friday, so you know it’s time for the wire services to post the non sequitur non-news story of Mahmoud Abbas praying at a mosque.
However, this week’s different… this week we’re going to start a new feature called:

WHAT IS MAHMOUD ABBAS PRAYING FOR?

So, from Mahmoud Abbas’ expressions, can you tell what Mahmoud Abbas is praying for?
Is it:

a) James Brown to follow through on that promise to leave his “Sex Machine” to him in his will.

b) Haniyeh to bring back lots of guns on his trip to Mecca. Oh, and some Ricola chews.

c) The guy in the red checked tablecloth to quit blowing his nose in it.

d) The fillings in his teeth to pick up shortwave instead of AM.

e) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… Pauly Shore… zzzzzzzzzzzz… three cups of Mazola… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… duct tape…

f) Apple to add servers to its iTunes site. It was so hard downloading all those Grand Funk Railroad tracks.

g) A juggler. Because jugglers are fun.
or
g) NONE OF THE ABOVE

Friday Catblogging

Since it’s Friday, I thought I’d spread the joy of humor-free, apolitical Friday Catblogging to IMAO (aka “I-MEOW”).
Everybody’s a bit concerned around here about FrankJ wanting to fire his guns in the air for New Years, but I’m a bit more concerned about SarahK firing her guns at… well… me. Unti lthen, I guess I should Friday Catblog.
Anyway, it’s time for Nardo the Ancient Chinese Secret:


If you’re not sure how this absurd scene pertains to IMAO, since IMAO is famous for that “political humor” thing, it doesn’t. If you must have some semblance of politics or humor in everything you read here, just assume that Nardo is… um…
Help me out here. Make your suggestions in the comments how this scene is, in fact, a political allegory.


You can find more examples of Friday catblogging by searching a blog search engine such as Technorati for “catblogging.”
You can also find a roundup of catblogging posts at The Friday Ark, located at The Modulator blog.
Then, when the weekend is nearly over, head over to The Carnival of the Cats for more kitty goodness.
There’s also Flickr Groups called Furry Friday and Friday Catblogging.
Anybody I miss?
