Saddam Hussein's blog is an interesting, albeit offensive, artifact of Web culture. The posts have this black-humor tone of "I'd better get the hell out of here," and per the common convention of the blog genre, it has "Listening to: 'Ready to Run' by the Dixie Chicks." The most recent posts have well over a hundred comments each. Check out the comments...people have handles like "Arafat" and "George Bush," complete with avatars.

Nor do I...think about the cultural values inculcated by that site.
