A journeyman’s ramblings: He is no everyman, but one who turns a carefully focused eye on the events of the madcap world around him. He aims to point out what others miss and draw attention to the patterns that exist amongst the chaos.

WAG - What a nice hand...


I apologize for being out this weekend. In the prep for finals week, I am rushing to get everything required done.

I have three finals, one 8-page (minimum) paper, and one project with a (2-page paper).

I also have closing responsibilities, study sessions, the Return of the King to see, a foster kid Christmas party (where I am to do animal balloons), and packing to do for the break.

I did take the time to pause the juggling for a bit to work on my "In the New" bulletin board. I had a "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" Edition featuring MU's bowl game, the Ricky Clemon's Greatest Hits tape recordings, and Saddam Hussein's nappy beard.

I also took the time to update my deck of "Most Wanted Iraqi Cards." I bought it at a gas station over the summer and have periodically referring to them as time has gone on.

As of early this morning, only 14 of the original 55 "jokers" are still at large. Most are in custody, one is "captured," and 3 are dead (including Saddam's two sons).

In drawing Saddam out into the open, the U.S. now has a Royal Flush.

Starting with the 10 of Spades and going up we have #17 of 55, Hamid Raja Shalah – Air Force Commander.

The Jack, #13, Ibrahim Ahmad Abd – Iraqi Armed Forces Chief of Staff

The Queen, #9, Muhammad Hamza Zubaydi – Retired RCC Member

The King, #5, Ali Hasan Al-Majid – Presidential Advisor/RCC Member

And the Ace, #1, Saddam Hussein – President.

Quite a nice hand indeed.
