A last look at 2006

So I come home from my well-earned vacation, and what's the last thing 2006 gave us? The deaths of - among others, of course - a former US president, the hardest working man in show business and two ruthless dictators.

Alright then. But there's one thing I just don't get. Saddam gets to be executed (and filmed by Time's Person of the Year!), while Turkmenbashi has to make do with a boring heart attack?

Life is unfair.
