Muffins of Mass Distraction

Via reader Gary Gunnels comes this CNN update on Saddam Hussein:

Saddam 'gardens, eats muffins'

Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein spends his time in solitary confinement writing poems, tending a garden, reading the Koran and eating American muffins and cookies, a British newspaper has reported….

Good work if you can find it.

Whole thing here.

And Slobodan Milosevic is doubtless doing isometrics and reading Archie Comics…

When I first read the article I was instantly reminded of the muffin top episode on Seinfeld.

As long as we're on the subject of Seinfeld, didn't Saddam have a cameo as a taxi driver on Seinfeld? Maybe he was going to hang out with his fellow fascist the Soup Nazi?

I believe Saddam once appeared on Seinfeld and double parked infront of George's car.

You know. The one guy whose torture I could agree with isn't getting tortured. Heck, petty thieves have it worse than Saddam. I wonder if he's rowing the 8 in the overthrown dictators prison regatta.

Sucks to be a minion.

I wonder if the reason Saddam isn't tortured is that nobody in the hierarchy wants underlings learning to enjoy torturing formerly powerful people...
