When they finally film Iraq: Return of the Bush, guess who has my vote to play Saddam? Poor Mel Gibson, I guess they don't have razors up in the Andes, or where ever he is filming another saga in a little known language.
alvin posted on censorship, and it gave me pause for thought this morning. A former president of Singapore, Devan Nair, just passed away. Three pages of glowing tributes, and I'm sure he was a wonderful father, trade unionist, speaker, leader etc, but all I remember is that he was very very fond of his sundowners. In fact, he had to quit the presidency because he was outed as an alcoholic. I remember the jokes from when I was growing up. But was he really that big a drinker? Nair claims it was all blown out of proportion, because he fell out with the big lee. He died in canada, whether his exile was self-imposed I don't know. So I guess the sad thing is that I am a product of that censorship or propaganda, because I don't know any more about him than he was the drunk president.
