A Chuck Berry tune in honour of Saddam Hussein. Too bad Saddam isn’t much of a rock fan.
He’s more into swing.

- I’m thinking Saddam’s a bit hipper than you give him credit for- he’ll be lashing together his bondage pants, and pogo-ing away to this tune.
This should really boost the sales of his own single, “Halabja was a Gas”.
- Before he swings, we could folk with his head a bit.
The kurds were on their mountain
They said I’m an ignorant ass
The kurds were on their mountain
I killed ‘em with poison gas
By this time tomorrow, reckon where I’ll be?
In a lonesome holler, a-hanging from a datepalm tree
Hang down your head, Saddam Hussein
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Saddam Hussein
Tinpot tyrant, you’re bound to die
- Heylittle girl get your dancing shoes.
Your gold satin jacket and the silvery blues.
And it’ll be alright,
dancin’ at the end of a rope.Posted by AlburyShifton on 2006 12 27 at 01:10 AM • permalink

Second and carry the motion, both yours and the canines….O/T Dan Lewis, Stop tesing the mentaly ill Marylin and Co. over on the Australians letter page. I just stirred the possum over there not long ago, but my letter may get “edited” out. I have a mate of my old mans (Belly)who loves the letters page and actually finds the letter writers in the phone book and rings them. The conversation usually goes like this. “You put that letter in the ?? today?” in a fairly bland tone of voice. They reply “yes”. Belly then says something allong the lines of “Well your a bit of a fuckwit if you think that hten arent you?” If they dont hang up hes in for a good half and hour or so of informing them why they are fucked in the head and morons.
Gives him some amusement while hes getting into some serious piss drinking.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2006 12 27 at 03:03 AM • permalink
- Swing high, sicko saddam,
Theyre coming for to string you up ,
Swing high, sicko saddam,
Theyre coming for to string you up.I looked over Iraq, and what did I see?
Theyre coming for to string you up,
Babylons faces grinning with glee,
Theyre coming for to string you upFor your crimes gainst kurd and jew
Theyre Coming for to string you up,
A circle of hell just for you.
Theyre Coming for to string you up.You really trod your people down,
Theyre Coming for to string you up
And now your soul is Lucifer bound,
Theyre Coming for to string you up.The day the world has itched for,
Theyre Coming for to string you up
Now you’ll be the devil’s bitch whore
Theyre Coming for to string you up.Posted by eeniemeenie on 2006 12 27 at 04:11 AM • permalink
- So that means about 29 days to go until we are told by the ferals that capital punishment is just as barbaric as Swinging Saddam’s glorious treatment of Iraqis.Posted by neoZionoid on 2006 12 27 at 04:26 AM • permalink
- Hundreds of Iraqis have applied to act as executioner of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein …, an adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki said on Wednesday.
members from all three leading religious communities and all ethnic groups were amongst the applicants
this is before theyve even advertised for a hangman- saddam’s never been so popular

Moral of the story seems to be: Dont piss off a Southerner.
Grimmy would approve.

- F*cker should hang, Iraq needs every dollar, and the twenty cents for a bullet is just wasting money. I am a merciful man, saying that, because really I agree with Grimmy’s idea, but only on the caveat that before the pigs get to have their way, he’s fed into a woodchipper.
Then having dogs defecate his ruined, corrupted soul all over the countryside, hmmm, (tilts head in a really odd way), it might actually be good for the environment, the dire need for fertilizer and all. 🙂

There could be some serious money in this for Iraq, if they handle the promotional aspect right. Pay Per View would be a start. T-shirts, caps, mugs – the list of memorabilia that could be sold is endless. Me, I’d settle for a plush Saddam doll, complete with little noose around its neck.

Actually, I serioulsy doubt that Saddam, his public image and/or nooses are trademarked or copyrighted in any way, shape or form.

Uh, oh! As 185600 has suggested, Pay-Per-View, Action-Figures and Cuddly-Toy Organization may already have wind of this opportunity…

Ask and ye shall recieve.
“KATY, TEXAS — While Kamel Fotouh makes plans to build a mosque on 11 acres of pasture here, neighbor Craig A. Baker is making plans of his own — plans to hold pig races.
Baker figures he’ll need a tent, souvenirs and a track for the pigs to race on, all in full view of the Muslims next door, for whom pigs are forbidden as food.
As a bonus, Baker will host the competition on Friday — a Muslim holy day.”The background is a bad business deal and the imam calling the landowner a liar at a public meeting.

- #49, tfm: Thanks muchly 🙂 He might even consider BBQ on the looser pig, if the wind is blowing in the right direction 🙂
#50, 185600: Texas would probably be a good place to visit to see the idealized version of “Americanism” lol. The BBQ is hard to beat too.
I ever mention how much I love good BBQ? I don’t mean that ‘grill’ stuff we do here in California, I mean real bbq….Gawd, now I’m hungry.
- #51 Grimmy: You should have seen our Christmas dinner mate, large mounds of dead animal on the barbie, copious amounts of alcohol, numerous lefty cousins to
punch outargue with, and a fine looking potential bride bringing you beer and food. Perhaps Texas for a honeymoon, after all, I have always liked the USA’s south, reminds me of our north, although some say we’re hillbillies, at the end of the day, have a look at where our best come from.
- I was out to dinner tonight with a mate over from Londonistan and a close friend who also happens to be a moonbat.
She (moonbat)asked me what I thought of Saddam getting the death penalty.
I laughed out loud and said it couldn’t happen to a more deserving tyrant.
She felt that he should just be locked up and left to rot, rather than given the death penalty.
Mate from the UK agreed he should be hanged.
I also pointed out to moonbat friend (I do love her dearly, but we should never ever discuss politics) that Saddam did after all gas the Kurds, he also had a lovely tendency of torturing his subjets, and if the torture wasn’t eliciting the desired responses, he would bring in family members to torture instead. All of this documented faithfully by Amnesty, of course.
She brought up Usay and the other one, telling me that they were worse than Saddam.
Shot that one down, too, by reminding her that Saddam knew exactly what was going on.
Then I got asked “But what about the Iraqi people, what do they think of all this?”
Hahaha! The Iraqi people hate his guts. They just want to get on with their lives and want him dead and gone.
We agreed not to touch the subject of David Hicks lol.
Personally, I don’t watch islamic porn, and I don’t know if I would watch him swing, but I still reckon it’s been a long time coming and 30 days is still too long away.
Bring it on.

- #53 Nilk: I don’t watch their antics either, I prefer grown up’s stuff. But I would like to say thanks for the comments on another post, I will try to do the best by her, or apparently I had better move interstate, and be hunted for the rest of my miserable life! All the best to you and Magilla, at least we didn’t grow up with a Saddam watching over us.
- 185600: I think you might be pleasantly surprised by what’s considered BBQ in the American south, southwest and midwest.
Takes all day to cook a chunk. Gets a nice “smoke ring” in the meat. Have a flavor and tenderness to die for. Might be the same thing where you’re at, but the closest we get where I’m at is a quick few minutes on a grill and maybe a hint of chicory or mesquite.
- #54 No worries, anytime, 185. Inquiring minds want to know: Is Tim going to be invited to the big day?
After all, you can’t invite all of us, so he is the logical choice.
I’ve never been to the liveblogging of a wedding.

- #55 Grimmy: Sounds like my dad putting gum leaves on the grill first, it sounds strange, but it gives it a tang, and you’re right, a good steak takes ages to cook properly, as does lamb and wallaby, but it’s worth it. And for the record, I haven’t met a native Texan I haven’t liked. B*stards are the size of tanks most of the time (coming from a short man, they probably aren’t). I loved the times I spent in the states, especially meeting a certain young lady from Kansas that Dirty Harriet need never know about, unless she wants to remain childless. 🙂
One day we all have to get together for a BBQ, probably at Tim’s. I can even invite a certain Lefty cousin of mine (can’t be sure he’d come after getting his lights put out on Christmas day).
- #56 Nilk, I would love to, better still, have the wedding on webcam. I fear Dirty Harriet might have some reservations though. 🙂
A bride and groom with both of their faces fuzzed up for security reasons wouldn’t really make the top ten at all. 🙂
Still, she married a hillbilly bogan soldier, so she should expect the unexpected. That said, Tim Liveblogging us would be funny as f*ck.
8:12 PM: Groom just punched cousin, threatened to punch all relatives within reach who disagree with him, Bride has taken off both high heels and threatened to brain anyone who comes within 2 feet of her husband.
Actually, you might be on to something there….. let me talk to Mr Paco, my manager, about the rights to this. 🙂

Just shoot him. I’ll donate the bleeping 20 cents.
From a soldier’s perspective, shooting is preferred, as a “soldier’s death”. Symbolically, hanging is for criminals.
Although dead is dead, I prefer the symbolism; Hussein is no soldier. Hang him.

I can appreciate your attention to symbolism. I think the point was you have to wait to hang him while you can shoot him now. Actually, both methods are probably to good for him. He needs to die a long, slow and painful death. Burned alive might fit the bill. Skinned alive works also. Frankly, I would use some of the same happy juice he used on the Kurds. But that is just me. But that would be an “eye for an eye”. Exactly.
- Why don’t we just fill the stadium with the volunteer hangmen and then let him loose in the field?
That way everyone can have a bash at him.
Of course, it’s probably rather barbaric, but it’s cultural and would make great television.
Those Saudi’s and jihadi’s are on to something, I reckon, and since they are so enlightened, I don’t mind taking a leaf out of their *cough* book in this instance.
