*Ø* Blogmanac Hussein Captured, Asks What "All The Fuss is About"
"TIKRIT, IRAQ- After months of tireless searching, the number one past-due villain in America's war in Iraq emerged from a nondescript Tikriti home around dawn this morning and introduced himself to a group of surprised Coalition troops. 'Hey, fellas,' the fugitive dictator allegedly said, 'what's up?'
"Representatives from US Central Command happily announced Hussein's capture just an hour later, eager to announce to the world, as well as uneasy Iraqi citizens, that the brutal despot had finally been apprehended. Better yet, capturing Hussein alive means chances are good that a closure-generating war crimes trial might be in the offing. There is, it seems, one catch: Hussein himself. While the infamous Butcher of Baghdad has been alarmingly forthcoming and cooperative with investigators, the depth of what he does not appear to know has left them stymied.
"'Hey, from those American flag patches on your shoulders, I noticed that you're, um, not from around here," Hussein reportedly told his captors. "What's all the fuss about?'
"Hussein later admitted that he had been "hanging out" at a friends house since early March and had not been keeping up with current events. Hussein confessed to feeling a bit "out of sync" since his friend's satellite dish was on the fritz and he'd not seen a newspaper since late February."
