Saddam is dead

CNN.com is reporting that Saddam Hussein has been executed this evening. Does everyone feel better now?

Not quite sure what it solves, but honest to God, the Iraqi prime minister's office is passing along word that people are dancing around the body. Doesn't that seem a little off?

Far be it from me to say what is and is not appropriate - especially across borders and cultures and all sorts of other factors - but can't we all agree that someone who just witnessed an execution shouldn't sound like there's a kegger about to break out at any moment?

In the background, Shiite chanting could be heard. When asked about the chanting, the official said "These are employees of the prime minister's office and government chanting in celebration."

The witness reported that celebrations broke out after Hussein was dead, and that there was "dancing around the body."

Oh, and this one dude totally showed up with a stop sign and no one knows where it came from but it's super-funny and Nick and Lisa totally might hook up. Also, grab some Coke and more ice if you're heading over now...

Makes you proud to have been a part of this whole process, huh America?
