But he has no discernible accent, so the mustache may tell us something else: Perhaps Earl is really a member of a throwback Mariachi band. Or perhaps this show was originally a starring vehicle for Saddam Hussein!Look, here’s what makes the demise of NBC’s Comedy department so tragic: They actually think this stuff is funny. At this point, I’d be more entertained if Dick Wolf came up with a “Law and Order...

The trial of Slobodan Milosevic—who was indicted in 1999 and arrested in April of 2001—has been overshadowed recently by the trial of another notorious leader, Saddam Hussein. “If you want to be sure that he has a fair trial,” Del Ponte said about the former Iraqi president, “he should be tried outside of Iraq.

...remember Ahmad Chalabi. He was once the Bush Administration's favorite Iraqi exile. His group, the Iraqi National Congress, provided all sorts of wondrous reports about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction (some of which Judith Miller disseminated in the New York Times).
