Does Saddam have a sense of irony?
Saddam Hussein's family has fired the head of the defence team Mohammad Rashdan for being too dictatorial.
"We the undersigned have decided to discharge you since we cannot continue to work together," said a statement signed by Saddam's wife and three daughters, referring to Jordanian lawyer Mohammad Rashdan.
Other members of Saddam's Amman-based defence team confirmed Rashdan had been suspended, accusing him of acting alone and seeking to be the sole lawyer for the former Iraqi dictator.
At least the lawyer didn't use poison gas on his opponents.

Final thoughts? Yeah right
The NYT has a collection of final thoughts from a number of prominent political bloggers. Go read! These thoughts are obviously not the last words, but they are good words.

US Election Day 2004
Now this is heroin for a political junkie like me.
And then I am reminded where I live, with news in Norwegian media that a Labour-Socialist Left coalition would win a solid majority in parliament if our election was today, too. Luckily, that election happens in September 2005, with more than enough time to correct that madness. I hope.
