We love how sometimes we report the news and we think we're breaking it
From the AP: Saddam Hussein, the shotgun-waving dictator who ruled Iraq with a remorseless brutality for a quarter-century and was driven from power by a U.S.-led war that left his country in shambles, was taken to the gallows and executed Saturday, Iraqi state-run television reported.

New Year! Fewer posts! You don't care!
I'm feeling a change of direction in these here parts. No more with the first-person plural or killed-dog stories. The shrink says it's bad to hide.
I may even retire. Huh. Who'd'a thought'a that?
Wishing you all a healthy and safe 2007. And no, I won't be all HEY IT'S DOUBLE-OH-SEVEN. That's just silly.
And along with the new mandates from on high, no more Britney Spears news this year, unless she, um, goes out like Marilyn.
I fell asleep on the train home early Monday, too. Deep sleep. Like, didn't wake up when one of my friends punched me, hard, in the leg. Allegedly. Because I didn't feel it.
Asleep, 'twas I.
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- Britney Spears finally appears to be acting like a new mom.
The pop princess, who recently made headlines for a rash of less-than-motherly hard partying, fell asleep in a Las Vegas nightclub early Monday shortly after leading the New Year's Eve countdown, her manager said.
"By about one o'clock, she was just done, so we took her out," Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, told The Associated Press Monday. "She was not drunk. She was just tired and falling asleep."
Rudolph denied reports circulating on gossip Web sites that Spears, 25, collapsed shortly after midnight and was carried out by bodyguards. The star was hired to host the festivities at Caesars Palace's PURE nightclub.
Rudolph said Spears walked out of the club and did not seek medical attention.
"There is nothing out of the ordinary here," he said.
Spears was traveling with her two sons, 3-month-old Jayden James and 1-year-old Sean Preston. She filed for divorce in November from her husband of two years, Kevin Federline.
In a statement on her Web site posted earlier this month, Spears noted that in recent nights out -- one in which she flashed her apparent lack of underwear to the paparazzi -- she may have taken her "new found freedom a little too far."
