So, have they reported on whether Saddam had wine cooler dispenser (in both red and white, natch!) out by the tennis court? 😃 Let this be a decorating lesson to us all: it is better to have just a dozen or so very well-decorated palaces, than fifty or sixty of them done only half-assedly well. I bet even Hugh Hefner is reading that article and muttering, “Damn, but that’s just tacky”. I want to see Robin Leach do a “Lifestyles” tour of the Hussein family residences. It could be argued that the Iraqi looters have already done a “Trading Spaces”-style job on these properties, though. 😉 ---

Hmmm…If he is still alive, I wonder if this might provoke Saddam’s wife into turning him in. I know I would. 😃 This sort of love nest suggests sexual immaturity to me. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lapin de poussière \* > \*\*So in related news, they found Saddam’s son Uday’s place… the picture of the U.S. servicewoman in this TIME article is pretty good.

Eeek! And who knew he liked floral print so much? That bed the infantrywoman is reclining on is smothered in it. .:Nichol:. ---

Can you imagine what must be going through the minds of the volunteer human shields? “Hey, Heather, remember when we volunteered to guard that baby-milk factory? We were risking our asses to save shag carpet, airbrushed tits and the cover of Conan the Hardass.” ---

And now for our next architect: The _houris_ arrive here, and are carried in extreme comfort past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes. The last twenty feet of the corridor is plush lined and excess perfume flows off into these troughs while the mangled nighties are slurped up by these slurpers here. Excuse me. Yes? Are you all proposing that he diddle every last resident? Does that not fit in with your plans? No, no, I’m sorry. We wanted a residential block of tents. Oh, I see … I hadn’t fully divined your attitude towards the _whor …_ er, _houris_. May I ask you to reconsider? No, it just won’t do. Yes, well. It’s this sort of lamb-eating, sand loving, _halal_ ignorance that I’ve come to expect from you Islamofascists. You sit all day on your loathsome spotty cushions squeezing oranges not giving a tinkers cuss for the struggling camel racer. You and your Abu Nidal gun grips, your stinking secret Swiss bank accounts and air conditioned outhouses. Why, you wouldn’t let me be an OPEC member would you? Well, I’ll tell you. I wouldn’t become one now if you got down on your lousy stinking prayer rugs and begged me! ---
