So I hear that Saddam Hussien is now writing poetry in prison. This seems to be a very popular thing for desposed terorists and dictators. So my question is, why don't the somsabitches just write poetry from the beginning?

Because they have more angst in prison?

You mean running a country full of mass graves and rape rooms doesn't lead to angst?

Stalin was a good poet when he was young. And Hitler was an artist.

But not a very good one imo. (Better then me though, then again toilet graffitti is beyond my capabilities).

Must try and find Stalin's poetry though.

Hmm... Note to self: after failing to take over the world it might be time to take up poetry like we always wanted.

Did you guys hear that while Hussein was in power, he wrote fantasy novels?

i bet Bush has a great singing voice.
John Ashcroft certainly does!

Oh sure, but you have ill-gotten gains to gloat over.

Memories of the high life ;)

Mmmmmmmmmmm the sweet, sweet taste of deposed dictator angst.

Will his writings be sweet opuses to those he murdered? or maybe to all those women raped in his raperooms? Or to the thousands of Kurds he gassesd?

John Ashcroft certainly does!

Let the eagle soaaaaarrrrrr
