1. NPR said he was going to get paid

Heard it this morning. They said that maybe it would send a message to the Iraqis that we're good for the money and maybe they would turn in Saddam.

2. They'll pay it. They found $100 million in cash in the house

where they killed Uday and Qusay. They made a $70 million profit on the deal.

3. But the Doublemint Twins

were supposed to have run off with nearly a billion...remember the famous three trailer trucks in the dark of night?

It's like no-one in the Chimp's gang even has the energy to try to keep their lies straight anymore...

4. Which lie are you talking about . . . I missed something.

6. There had been a report

just after Baghdad fell that the pair had stolen a billion dollars from the central bank and driven away with it in three trailer trucks..

When people began to ask "How do you know there were three trucks" and "how come our satellites didn't follow those trucks" the issue sort of dropped off radar. I thought it might have come back with the death of the brothers, but it seems to have fallen into our national collective amnesia.

[MrBenchley]

7. Now that you mention it

I thought I did hear something about him being a cousin or something...
