Mary makes an interesting point--no one I encountered at work yesterday (and I encounter hundreds of people a day) or socially (holiday party after work), mentioned Saddam or his capture. Of course, one would never know that watching the cable news network hysteria.

I don't think anyone really cares much one way or the other, except for maybe some folks in the military. It has been a long time since the "end of hostilities" (ahem) and this seems to be just a blip on the radar now. People are busy with holiday planning, winter storms, etc. and not really paying any attention to the news.

And as for all the cable news media whores dire predictions about the demise of Dean due to the capture of Saddam...yawn.
