Funny time for Idi Amin to come back into the public spotlight. He was quite a character in his day. He's dying. Been living too good for too long. Wasn't the UN or some world court. The obesity finally caught up with him. We find he's been living in a virtual palace in Arabia since we last heard from him. The Saudis are giving him money. His four wives probably provide some diversion from world affairs. OK, he did have to convert to Islam. Saddam and Osama are probably calling the princes right now. A coupla' red-heads please. Got any blondes?

Warning! Funny math alert. Yesterday they were counting about 150 something GI deaths since the official end of hostilities. Today with no explanation, they add one more death and bring the total to uhm 47.
