2. Criminal Enron CEO playing golf.

3. And the mayor of Baghdad was overthrown last week in

a waaaay under-reported coup.

But it looks like the constitution draft will be ready on time.

Although women will likely have fewer rights than they did with Saddam in charge.

I am glad we are making such progress over there. I can feel freedom marching like a fucking devestating earthquake right now.
