Sunday Roundup

So the Butcher of Baghdad is no more, but the horror unleashed by the historic mishandling of his ouster rages on. President Bush hailed Saddam Hussein's death as "an important milestone," but somehow I don't feel safer than I did in 2003, do you? How long before macabre mashups of Saddam's videotaped hanging hit YouTube, bringing a whole new meaning to the concept of "gallows humor"? The early line: after the ball drops in Times Square but before the 110th Congress is sworn in on Thursday. In the meantime, it's a HuffPost New Year's Eve: we're ready to pop the cork on the last Sunday Roundup of 2006. Feel free to guzzle - our blog posts are hangover free! See you next year (aka tomorrow!).
