So yeah, we got the Big Man himself, Saddam, this morning. Pretty crazy to turn on the TV in the morning and see a picture of what looks like some crazy homeless guy getting a check-up only to discover that the crazy homeless guy is Satan's butt-buddy.

I also noticed that as part of the news on the story, it's no longer enough to get the reaction of the President when he hears word, we now have to hear what Mrs. President thought of the news. "Great," was what the White House lackey told the lap-dog press about what the First Lady said. I wonder if they told the First Twins about what happened. Wouldn't it come up in some sort of normal conversation? You know, like Jenna's calling in Saturday afternoon to see how everything is and hearing, "oh well, your father has been a little upset lately what with Rodriguez possibly being traded by the Rangers and Ashton Kutcher pulling the plug on "Punk'd", but he's been a lot happier today once Rummy told him that we might have gotten Hussein. Uhhh….oh yeah, sweetie, that's a little secret so please don't tell anyone." Then again, I'm guessing the Twins aren't really told much of anything, which is probably a good thing considering how many state secrets could have been divulged after the fifth or sixth tequilla slammer at some Frat Party.

And yes, it is a really great thing we got the guy. In the long-term sense of it, whatever one thinks of the war, he was a ripe awful bastard. He was evil in the true sense of word. It's a great thing for the Iraqi people, a great accomplishment for our soldiers (who are doing a hell of a job over there, especially when you read about all the crap they have to put up due to the White House's screw ups) and it is a good day for the country. Still, as much of a great thing it is, I really hate it when all those smirking Popinjays on Fox News and the arrogant bastards of the White House having something to smirk and be arrogant about.
