saddam hussein has it so good!
i was just reading an article in the NYTimes about what saddam is doing at the moment, and his living quarters are bigger than the bedroom i had back at 1331 geddes, juior year. according to the article, “Hussein is living in an air-conditioned 10-by-13 foot cell on the grounds of one of his former palaces outside Baghdad, tending plants, proclaiming himself Iraq’s lawful ruler, and reading the Koran and books about past Arab glory.” That doesn’t sound too bad, while I had 7-by-13 foot cell room that i’m convinced was what used to be the porch, just walled in. My closet was just the corner under the stairs with a dowel rod and a curtain hanging in front of it. and the worst part was, i was paying the same amount for my room as everyone else, including sunil, who had a room twice as big as mine, plus a walk in closet.
the rest of the article was pretty interesting as well, but that’s not important.
