Okay, you're gonna love this one...

What is the biggest, funniest joke in the whole history of the world?

The trial of Saddam Hussein.
Good God, what the hell are they doing?  They allow this man into the courtroom when he is beligerant, rude and vocally disruptive to the court proceedings.  He even threatens the judge, and they just say, "now now, Saddam.  We must play nice.  Here, just take this little slap on the hand and....what's that?  It would be too disrespectful?  Well okay then, I'm sure you've learned your lesson.  Lets continue." 

What a gong show.
I suppose they can't really do much to him since everyone fully expects him to be executed.  Slapping him with a fine and extra jail time won't do much good.  Well, if I were an Iraqi judge, I'd attend court with a cattle prod, a pair of handcuffs and a candle.  You know, reason with the man in a language that he understands.
I just wish they would get it over with already before some crazy ass rebels find a way to free this freak.

*sigh*

On to the cookie swap. 
I'm having a cookie swap on Saturday, the 17th.  If you're interested, let me know.  This event requires the presence of two dozen home made cookies.  Wheeee.  It'll be a nice get together.
