What he deserved

What the fuck is this???

Shown above is the CNN.com mainpage from early saturday December 30. CNN deserves to be smacked in the face for making Saddam Hussein look like a normal human being who deserves to be commemorated. People tend to forget that Saddam was an evil man who lived an evil life, and should not be seen otherwise. We forget that he killed human beings by the hundreds. We forget that he had hundreds of Kurds murdered with chemical weapons. I ask: Was he merciful to them? Did he give them a chance? No. He did not. Saddam got what he deserved- the end of a noose. I know that, in a Catholic school, I am taught to be infinitely forgiving. But I’m no saint but even if I was people have to realize that there is justice in this world. Given the chance, I would have opened the trap door and not felt bad. In fact, I would have felt like I was doing the world a favor.

Making Saddam look like a normal man who lived a normal life is spitting on the bodies of those he killed. Shame on you CNN.

I like Time’s approach:



Saddam got what he deserved.

That's more like it.

Issues concerning Christmas and Santa Claus that must be addressed before Christmas can commence properly.

This, being the fourth and final Sunday in Advent, beings up a few questions and topics about the upcoming holiday.

1) What’s the deal with all this coal. Santa just has all this extra coal lying around to give to bad kids?

2) Does Santa have coal or is it some how created by magic. Or is the North Pole a huge coal mine (the would explain what they do in the off season). If so, It would make sense to use what is commonly called an elf.

3) Did you really mean elf? Because in science fiction elves are actually taller creatures who are immortal and a decent warriors. The can however be killed in battle. I think what they meant to say was dwarves. This would be consistent with the coal mine theory because dwarves live underground and in mountains, even in mines. Although, Santa would have to be one hell of a bad ass to get dwarves to work for him 24/7 for no pay.

4) This leads us to ask: What do dwarves have to gain by working for Santa? Is it just the fact that they have no where else to go? Man took over middle earth and the high elves left for the undying lands and dwarves were left as exiles as man began to conquer all of earth and Santa took them in exchange for work.

5) But back to the coal: It’s a source of energy. So, perhaps it is just what evil kids want. With a sack of coal you could probably power a small doomsday device. Perhaps if you are really bad you will receive Plutonium. Wouldn’t that be nice? Maybe we could convince Santa to bring us petroleum to power our cars. I don’t’ know why he’s stuck on coal, it may have just been an old world thing that stuck with the story.

It won’t be a merry Christmas until these questions are answered.

The holidays are always thought of as a good time, for me anyways. I never really understood why people would get so upset around these times. And the reason for that was because I always had the people I needed around me.

I used to always have those people...or person...around. Now I don't. Ah, zis is why the holidays can be depressing. I never knew.

I have more than anyone should. That I already know. But sometimes, when its the holidays and you have time to think, all that you have can't occupy your mind. Sometimes, most of the time, its the one thing you don't have that fills up your thought process. The one thing. Or, in my case, the one person. Why is it, that a life filled with so much stuff, and so many amazing people, can fall short for a split second because of lacking one person in the past not being in the present?

When we live in a world where you can basically control everything in your life, it is so hard to swallow that some things are really just out of our reach. That there isn't always a solution to the problem. That we can't save someone. That in the end, we may never find out why this person had to die, or this other person had to leave. Sometimes the only thing we know is that we don't know.

AHHHHHHONEYEAR

For the one of our two readers that has been paying attention it’s been exactly one year since the two of us have made our first posts.

We’ve been a lot of places before hitting the web.

The first recorded appearance of Bethadam was back in 1776 at the signing of the Declaration of Independence. As you can clearly see in the photos below(our faces have been blurred out to preserve our anonymity) we were obviously there. There we met ol’ Benny Franklin.



































Then it was off to the antebellum era were we first met our homeboy Honest Abe(we knew him before he was President) and we still maintain that Abe never failed, any apparent failure was simply part of his plan to end slavery.

It’s been a long time since then.

But now on to something relevant…

... um, right… yeah… well making the step to the intertubes(the internet is not a truck that you dump things in it is a series of tubes) was big for Bethadam.

We’ve explored so many things and have been such an important force in the world.

Here are the top ten things that you should now openly accept thanks to us:

1) School and school competition sucks balls.
2) Babies are now exceedingly more fashionable.

3) The take a penny leave a penny system is un-American.
4) Girls are crazy and guys are stupid.
5) Adam is not crazy, he’s just Abraham Lincoln.
6) VD sucks.
7) It is a good thing the North Koreans have Nukes because there are way to fucking many people.
8) Our nation’s birthday is the best thing ever.
9) God wants you to play violent video games (we heard it ourselves-straight from Jesus)
10) Wal-mart is fucking insane.

There are probably many more but you already know what they are so we don’t really need to tell you.

This leaves us to question where this source of awesome will go from here. Will we continue to post stuff, or will we become too busy and decide that we don’t care/move on to better things. The four of us can probably hope for the former.

Regardless, we thank you for sticking the year out with us and apologize in advance for this coming year.

Bethadam

P.S. You don’t have to give us presents for our 1 year, but you should.
