Well, they got Saddam Hussein. I guess this leads to one big question: what does this do to the value of my Iraqi Most Wanted playing cards that I bought off the internet? While we're on the subject, can anyone seriously think of a better way to support our troops while playing Old Maid? I don't think so. Getting past my love of patriotic game pieces, I think it's a good thing that he was captured. I don't think there are many bad people in this world, but he's probably one of them; I can only hope that when Saddam is imprisoned and then traded by the muslim gang to the white supremacists for a pack of smokes and an old issue of Hustler, it will be broadcast on every screen in Baghdad.
To really put the Saddam thing into perspective, I would like to point that the villain in Hot Shots!, a truly great movie, is none other than Saddam Hussein. When was that movie released? 1991. What was Charlie Sheen's status in Hollywood at the time? Superstar. What craze was sweeping America then? Urkel-mania. What was I wearing to school in 1991? Sweatpants with dinosaurs on them. Yeah, things have changed quite a bit since then, with the sole exception of Saddam Hussein as international evil-doer and my love for dinosaur sweatpants. So, even though I wasn't the biggest fan of the war, I do think it's a good thing someone finally did something with that guy.
Now, getting past all of that, here are a few other interesting happenings in the world of CWMP. This weekend, I discovered the San Antonio hang-out for the late-night homosexual taco afficionado. Also, I got a Venus Flytrap that will soon grow to a monstrous size and eat me in my sleep. Furthermore, I updated CarlosJacott.com with a crossword puzzle about everyone's favorite character actor of indeterminate ethnicity. Yeah, you can say it; everything's coming up Cody.
