I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Saddam is still Iraq's President . . .

. . . or so he insists, and I'm the Queen of England (I wish).

According to the Yahoo Story:

Saddam Hussein loves Doritos, hates Froot Loops, admires President Reagan, thinks Clinton was "OK" and considers both Presidents Bush "no good." He talks a lot, worries about germs and insists he is still president of Iraq.
What interesting information. Rather surprising that he would admire President Reagan, but it is no surprise that he thought Bill Clinton "Ok" and doesn't like either President Bush. After all, Bill only bombed an asprin factory and the Georges did quite a lot more.

The rest of the article has some interesting quotes from 5 soldiers who have guarded Saddam. He's quite a character, for a hardened, evil dictator. Apparently, he really likes Cheetos and Doritos.
