According to the White House, apparently, "Saddam's death sentence is a great day for Iraq." I've heard this repeated often enough to assume that it is, in fact, what they intended to say. I suppose that, by now, we shouldn't be surprised that they have such a poor grasp of the English language; more than that, these are people who are quite happy to assert that where the facts don't agree with what they say, it is reality that has got it wrong. How many legal judgements make a month?
On a slightly less obscure point, I have for a long time found it rather ironic that in a country where the State is seen as a necessary evil at best, the viewpoint that the State should keep as far out of people's business as possible is held by essentially the same demographic that believes that the State should have jurisdiction inside women's bodies.
