So i turned the TV on during one of my increasingly frequent nocturnal pit stops, and CNN confirmed that Saddam Hussein was executed today for crimes against his people. What gets me is that people were dancing around his corpse. Is this a cultural thing? Are we just repressed prudes who would never allow such a display of emotion? Or have we never been faced with such an evil bastard that we would rejoice his death with a good dosi-do. Did anyone dance when Hitler died? That should have been a real hoe down.
In Iraq it seems like dancing and fighting are not too far apart in the spectrum of things. Reminds me of that Hillbilly Hare episode from Bugs Bunny with the dancing/fighting Hatfield and McCoys.
Promenade across the floor
Sass shay right on out the door
Out the door and in to the glade
And everybody promenade
Step right up, you're doing fine
I'll pull your beard, you pull mine
Yank it again, like you did before
Break it up with a tug of war
Now lead your partner, the dirty ol' thing
Follow through with an elbow swing
Grab a fence post, hold it tight
Whomp your partner with all your might
Hit him in the shin, hit him in the head
Hit him again, the critter ain't dead
Wop him low and wop him high
Stick your finger in his eye
