#1 "Hi, and welcome to Trading Spaces. I'm your host, Page Davis, and today we're in Baghdad, where designers Kia Steve-Dickerson and Vern Yip and carpenter Amy-Wynn Pastor are ready to Iraq-and-roll our homeowners . . . ."

#2 Just remembered: here's a little gag I wrote back in March of '03, after the first bunker-buster strike on Baghdad:

Tonight on TLC: "Trading Spaces Goes to Baghdad!"

Some highlights:

PAIGE DAVIS: Across the street, Saddam and Uday want Frank's help in remodeling their bombed-out command bunker . . .
SADDAM (homeowner): Just look at this! Infidels! Criminals! The Zionist warmonger Junior Bush has ruined my walls! I have no storage space!

FRANK BILEK (designer): Okay . . . my vision for this room is, we're gonna put some nice country wallpaper over this concrete, give it a little splash of color. . . have Ty build us a nice entertainment center for all this electronics . . . some cabinets . . . finish it off with some slipcovers in this fabric . . .

TY PENNINGTON (carpenter): Paige, I can't work with these camels, I just can't!

PAIGE: . . . Take a look at your new command bunker.
SADDAM: Allah be praised! I love this room! I love it!
PAIGE: Well, Sam and Uday have a new room, I've got the GPS coordinates to send to General--er, I mean, to take home with me, and that's another edition of Trading Spaces.
