Court Workers Attack Saddam, Iraq TV Reports

BAGHDAD, Iraq (Nov. 17) - Two court employees attacked Saddam Hussein and punched him several times after he cursed two Shiite Islam saints, state-run Iraqi television reported Wednesday.
How horrible would it be to live a life for which you are despised. How do you live with yourself? I'd say if the guy didn't have more pride than he knows what to do with he'd be a prime suicide candidate.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love teleworking? I'm currently hanging out on my couch with my laptop, the thermostat turned to exactly where I want it, no annoying coworkers (sorry guys). Plus my music sounds much nicer over the speakers than those stupid headphones.

Okay...back to work.
