Small absurd pieces of news from the last week

Osama Bin Laden says that he'd die before allowing himself to be captured. I am glad that for once he is offering a solution that would satisfy all parties.

Saddam is boycotting his trial. Inquiring minds want to know whether he is also planning to boycott the execution.

Bush is trying to put a UAE company in charge of port security. What is he, upset that he lost the world's dumbest president competition to Ahmadinejad and trying to catch up? What next? Tomorrow we are probably going to see a headline "Bush puts Cheney in charge of firearm safety".

Yeah, cheap shots, I know.
