"8:30 p.m. Saturday: Saddam is found hiding at the bottom of the hole..."

That would be Saturday, 9:30 AM PST.

Kool! Karl Marx, I tell ya! Something else. As I just watched on local news Saddam being examined for (A) lice, or (B) hidden nuclear devices in his hair (which?) I realized he looked much like the so-called "homeless" I had seen downtown just this afternoon, in other words, a member of a protected class!

I looked at two music related message websites (one local to Houston and the other national/international) and I saw some threads about Saddam's capture (certainly offtopic there). As usual, the liberals try to control all political speech on those boards (there is some dissent from the DNC talking points but most who dare challenge the group think will find themselves in the middle of a pecking party; political correctness still rules the day).

More surprising was that on each board I saw other posters who noted that Saddam's beard made him resemble Karl Marx.

That pic of Saddam Jim's got posted on the front FR page resembles a pic of Marx I have seen once but cannot locate now on the Net.

It's ironic that when Saddam went into hiding and released videos of himself or one of his impersonators, he looked like the 1970s Groucho Marx (thick glasses and all).
