        - An Iranian man faces a possible lengthy prison term or even the death penalty for attaching a sticker to the rear window of his car proclaiming "The era of arrogant rulers is over".
        He is facing life in prison or death sentence for that? Big deal! The Turkish laws must be crazy! Imagine if all the people who protest President Bush lived in Turkey? They would all be in prison!

        It's in Iran, not Turkey.. big difference there.. Iran is still pretty much backwards, where as most parts of Turkey are just like the rest of Europe..

        Anyhoo.. this kind of news just reminds you what a crazy place this world is..

        Probably just thinking about Christmas dinner, I know I am.

        OT - any of you guys heard about Turduckins? I think that's how you say it. They're auctioning them off here to raise money for meals for the poor. Anyway, get this: It is a Turkey, stuffed with a duck, stuffed with a chicken, stuffed with sausage

        You have to love excess
