#3 I'm sure the good burghers of Graz, Austria, will want to name public buildings and sports sites in their "honor."

Just as soon as they can find out what names to use.

If they want to get a jump on things, they can start naming the various spots "________ Mohammed" and "Mohammed ________" and just fill in the blanks later.

(And gnÃ¤dige Herren of Graz: since you think it's such a great idea to name your various local venues after multiple murders, why not fill in that first blank with Mohammed Atta? Now there's a mass murderer for you! Makes your buddy "Tookie" look like the piker he was.)

#4 T.K. Ryan in his "Tumbleweeds" cartoon has a character named Hogarth Hemp, the hangman. To quote:

"Post-Mortem Puppeteer of the First Magnitude!
One O' The Top Trachea-Tweakers of All Time!
Why, I've Tripped More Traps than a Near-Sighted Muskrat!...
Men, I've Staged Some O' The Finest Mid-Air Choreography in the West!
Why, Folks Flock From Miles Away T'See Me Perform!...
An' In My Act, I Use Only The Top Victi...Er...Co-Stars!"

"They take the falls and you take the bows, eh?"

"That's Show Biz!

#5 Boy, at this rate (8 in 1 day, and 16 more to be served up soon), they'll hit that "majik" 1,000 body count # well before we "barbarians" in the U.S. did (hat tips to the MSM over their daily drumbeat of the 1,000th "victim" of capital punishment). Carry on!

#7 The all-time best poem of Claude Clay:

Ashes to ashes,
And dust to dust, son.
Get where you're going
With Internal Combustion.

He was running a sale on cremation that week.

#10 I understand Tooky Williams had a big funeral today. But what the heck, he was only executed for the murder of four people. A piker compared to some roadside bomber...

No names. How appropriate.

Hope none of the Iraqi officials who signed the death warrant had a stadium named after them somewhere in Austria... Probably not...
