Keepin It Gangsta

This year's gangsta of the year award goes to...Saddam Hussein!! Before I get all this "I Hate America" hate mail, let me explain. For those of you who do or don't know, the former dictaor/president of Iraq is being put on trial for the execution of roughly 140 Shiite Muslims. Now throughout the trial Saddam has made claims that he has been mistreated. He claims he has no clean clothes, no means to exercise and no cigarettes. So finally yesterday while in court, Saddam says he refuses to show up in court anymore until he gets the respect he feels he deserves. Well today is upon us and surprise, surprise Saddam didn't show. That's gangsta! How do you not show up to your own trial???!!!! I mean he did tell them he wasn't going to show up, so it's not like it caught the judge of guard...but how do you not show up for your own trial??? I mean we say we those types of things all the time. "I ain't goin to work today. They can kiss my ass!" But sure enoughyou get your psuedo-militant ass out of bed and go to work. You might be late, but you're there. Here's where it gets crazier. His defense team showed up in full force (minus the 2 or 3 that have already been killed). I can just imagine how the convo between the defense attorneys and the judge.

Judge: Where's Saddam?
Attorneys: (look at each other)...he said he wasn't coming.
Judge: I thought he was just joking...
Attorneys: Nah, he was serious.
Judge: Well do you know where he is? What time he might come in?
Attoneys: Well we know what time he ain't coming in. That would be now. As far as where he is...nah.

This is why Saddam Hussein gets "Gangsta Of The Year". If you all out there have any other nominees please tell me who they are and why you feel they should get this prestigious award. The best results will get a shout out in the next blog. And don't think I forgot about my little saga. I'm still working on that character development. Once again any ideas aer greatly appreciated.
