My wife woke me up early this morning to tell me they caught Saddam Hussain in a barn in Tikrit. I had to get up and turn on the news. That is when I saw him. Looking like the homeless dude with the "will work for food" sign I see during my evening commute. He was skinny and very grey (must not be any''Just for Men' in theTikrit Walmart), and he had a Santa Claus beard. In fact he looked kinda like Santa. My daughter walked in and with her hoarse voice from sinus drip asked me why Santa was getting a check-up. At 4 there is nothing better than Santa so there is really no way to explain it to her. I told her that the guy was a bad man who got caught by the police. She ran into the bedroom to tell my wife Daddy said Santa got busted cause he was a bad guy. It took me a half hour to explain the situation to her so now, hopefully, she won't think Santa is a bad guy or in the pokie.

After our Santa - Saddam confusion we went to church. After we got home we were watching NickToons and saw the Christmas commercials that lure yound children into badgering parents inccesantly. First up was a Tigger doll that dances, bounces and generally looks like an obnoxious toy. The second was a rapping hamster (I believe no comment is nessassary), and the third was the Hover Disk. It looks like such a great toy as it hovers, flies and looks like a flying saucer. I was almost about to call when the famous disclaimer came on at the end that says in small print 'Hover effect only occurs when filled with helium - sold separately'. Where are you suppose to get helium at? I know you can buy it atParty Stores, but it cost about $75.00 for one tank. I think this is sort of bad advertising. It would be okay if they supplied the tank, but not only do they not, they have a disclaimer that is written in microscopic print that stays on the screen for maybe 1 second.

Well I have to try and fix my PS2 since my daughter thought that it was where poptarts go to get cooked. Have a great Sunday.
