Baboushka Is Coming to Town!

Big News

Iraq said Sunday that authorities uncovered a plot by a Sunni Arab insurgent group to fire rockets at the court building where Saddam Hussein's trial resumes this week. Apparently, it's the Sunnis' way of helping the world avoid live team coverage of the trial.

Republican leaders in Congress said Sunday they are hoping to curb the growth of student loans, Medicaid, and other benefit programs before the holidays -- so they can go home and wish everybody a compassionate conservative Christmas.

Isn't it touching? In this season of goodwill toward men, Republicans remember poor people. They don't help them, they just remember them.

Magulous Monday

Monday is National Communicate with Your Kids Day (kindersigns.com).

According to legend, Robin Hood was murdered on December 5th in 1247. Being the macho fighter that he was, he died with his tights on.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died on December 5th in 1791. He was the greatest musical genius of all time, and he died broke. Which is no big deal, of course, since it's believed neither heaven nor hell has vending machines.
- Some say Mozart died of starvation, but others say it was because he wouldn't eat.
- Mozart had the 2nd worst name in history, Wolfgang Amadeus. The first-worst name belonged to his son -- Wolfgang Amadeus Junior.
