Cenk Uygur: Where Were the Mass Graves? (huffingtonpost.com)
As I watched nonstop coverage of Saddam's Death Watch, I was told over and over that this was a heinous mass murderer. There were mass graves. That up to 300,000 people were killed during his reign. Then they told us what he was actually convicted for -- 148 dead in Dujail. That's a terrible crime.


Melinda Henneberger: Everybody Wants to Be Your Friend Once You're Dead (huffingtonpost.com)
So many people fondly remember voting for Gerald Ford, it's a wonder Jimmy Carter was ever elected. Then again, as Vanessa Redgrave gets to say in Roger Michell's new movie Venus, on the occasion of her husband's funeral, "Everybody wants to be your friend once you're dead.'' (Or in Ford's case, everybody except Bob Novak.)


PAUL KRUGMAN: A Failed Revolution (The New York Times)
After first attempting to deny the scale of last month's defeat, the apologists have settled on a story line that sounds just like Marxist explanations for the failure of the Soviet Union. What happened, you see, was that the noble ideals of the Republican revolution of 1994 were undermined by Washington's corrupting ways. And the recent defeat was a good thing, because it will force a return to the true conservative path.

Embraces Rose Parade Marshal Role

George Lucas

George Lucas, the mastermind behind the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" sagas, can add another credit to his illustrious resume: Rose Parade grand marshal.

For a man accustomed to working behind the camera lens, Lucas embraces his latest challenge as the public face of the 118th annual Tournament of Roses on New Year's Day.

It seems fitting for Lucas to serve as the ambassador of the 2007 Rose Parade that will feature the three-piece "Star Wars Spectacular," which commemorates the 1977 release of "Star Wars," the first film in the sci-fi six-pack. The procession will include two floats depicting the moon of Endor seen in the "Return of the Jedi" and the garden planet of Naboo. Darth Vader will lead a group of 200 stormtroopers, assembled from around the world, who belong to a fan club called the 501st Legion.

Rocks U.S. Dance Chart

Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd has been all over the Billboard charts since making its debut in 1965, but this week the veteran U.K. band stakes a claim on some new territory, showing up on Hot Dance Airplay for the first time.

The track that sends Pink Floyd into a new orbit is "Proper Education (The Wall)," credited to "Eric Prydz vs. Pink Floyd."

While this is Pink Floyd's first turn on Hot Dance Airplay, the group did register on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1980 when the original "Another Brick in the Wall," along with "The Wall" tracks "Run Like Hell" and "Don't Leave Me Now," peaked at No. 57.

Postage Stamps

Beatles

Some 37 years after the world's most famous pop group broke up, the Royal Mail will release a set of six stamps on January 9 depicting iconic Beatles' album covers.

The stamps "celebrate the Beatles' extraordinary cultural contribution to Britain," the Royal Mail said.

The featured album covers range from "With the Beatles" and "Help!", through the groundbreaking 1966 album "Revolver", "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Abbey Road" -- with its famous photograph of the band walking across the street -- and "Let it Be", released in 1970 after the group disbanded.

Chicago Jazz Mecca Closes

Jazz Showcase

In a city that lost several beloved institutions in 2006, the sound coming out of Chicago's jazz scene is providing a year-end coda no one wants to hear.

The Jazz Showcase, this jazz-drenched city's oldest club dedicated to the musical form and the second-oldest U.S. jazz venue after New York's Village Vanguard, is closing its doors this weekend after 59 years.

A New Year's Eve "last blast" featuring saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman and Henry Johnson's Organ Express will be the final show at the club, which for six decades presented artists like Charlie Parker and others working out of the tradition associated with legendary players like John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins.

This fall, the club lost its lease and despite help from the city of Chicago, its owner and founder, 80-year-old Joe Segal, still has found no new digs.

Money Buys Happiness

Taxpayer X

In California, a mysterious "Taxpayer X" has just come clean about his income and handed over $200 million in unpaid taxes - almost single-handedly eliminating the revenue shortfall of the state.

The tax payment is so large that it would pay the annual budget of California's National Guard three times over. And it will close the gap between the state's projected and actual revenues from $250 million to $47 million. This will put the finances of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the State Governor, back on track - a New Year gift to compensate perhaps for the leg that he broke while skiing during the holidays.

The authorities have at least confirmed that Taxpayer X is not a corporation. "This was a personal income tax matter," Patrick Hill, a spokesman for the Franchise Tax Board, said.

Getty's Scapegoat?

Marion True

Marion True, former J. Paul Getty Museum curator, says the institution is letting her take the fall in a looted art case that has resulted in agreements to return 30 contested antiquities to both Greece and Italy, according to a published report.

True wrote in a letter to the J. Paul Getty Trust that her superiors were aware of the risks of buying antiquities and had approved the acquisitions. The Dec. 18 letter was obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

The Getty is paying for True's defence in Italy and Greece, which also brought charges against her, and has said that True is being unfairly singled out by foreign prosecutors.

True was the Getty antiquities curator from 1986 to 2005, when she was asked to retire. She was responsible for recommending what objects the museum should buy from private dealers and at public auctions. Approval of her recommendations rested with the museum director, the Getty Trust's chief executive and members of the board of trustees.

Saves Family From Fire

Timmy the Tabby

An alert tabby cat saved an Australian family of four from a house fire by clawing at its owner's face, emergency officials said on Friday.

Timmy the tabby sprang into action by waking his unidentified owner when a mattress caught fire as the family slept early on Friday in Cairns in Australia's tropical north.

The man was then able to wake his family and call for help.
