WE GOT FIDEL CASTRO...ER, SADDAM

Is it just this blog's imagination, or do the photos of Saddam Hussein bear a striking resemblance to octogenarian Cuban dictator Fidel Castro? Eight months have elapsed since the fall of Baghdad and finally the United States has achieved one of its top objectives: the capture of Saddam.

This is all good news, but this blog was troubled by the video of Saddam's medical exam shortly after his capture. The military shaved his beard, presumably to make him look more like himself.

We SHAVED this dirtbag's BEARD? Why go out of our way to give dignity to someone who has stolen it from millions of dead and wounded Iraqis?

Less exfoliating, more interrogating, please.
