Finally, Echoing Saturday Nite Live from the past:
From “Today’s Papers” a daily summary of the major papers the Slate is kind enough to send, we have their final paragraph:
Dept. of Resurrections: Two weeks ago, the WP (and "Today's Papers") brought you the sad story of Ali Ghalib, an Iraqi government official who was dragged from his car by insurgents as he drove through an area known as the "triangle of death.” His body was reported to have been found later along the road, "riddled with bullets.” Today, the WP reports that Ghalib, alive and unriddled, returned to his hometown of Tikrit "in a hail of celebratory gunfire" Friday after having been released by his kidnappers. No word on the condition of Generalissimo Francisco Franco. [Emphasis added]
You, dear reader, might be too young to remember Saturday Nite Live from the 70’s when they were doing that bit during the news. Oh well.
