Iraq’s Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf has become a star on the Internet.

Fans have set up a website (www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com) dedicated to Sahaf, featuring his more outrageous quotes and a collage of photos.

One writer imagined Sahaf explaining a troubled economy: “We do not have economic problems! These infidels, the waste of maggots they are, are deceiving us with facts and their charts! This graph they showed us was upside down!,” the posting read.

Iraq Liberated from Oppressive Statue Regime

Baghdad, Iraq - The world watched yesterday as Iraqis in Baghdad liberated their corner of Iraq from the statue that had oppressed their lives for the past several decades.

Gen. Brooks responded: “Intelligence states that these statues are the real seat of power in Iraq. They are all over - in all the cities and towns. It’s obvious that these statues had more power than the actual Iraqi leadership.”

While many of the murals encountered earlier in the week seemed to fall with little effort, embedded journalist Bernard Jones for UPI reported about one instance of a statue offering more resistance than expected. The statue refused to budge after repeated assaults by Iraqi’s armed with rocks, chains, and lengths of rope. When it was finally toppled, it landed on three men. They suffered minor cuts and a few broken bones.

A good laugh can help you make it through the day.
