It may just be me, but as soon as I woke up this morning and heard that Saddam was captured, I started to feel really sad for the authors of the book Where’s Saddam?.
As an author of a book, the worst thing that can happen is that a real life event renders your book obsolete. So, on the dawn of such a substantial newsworthy moment, I can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen to the above book. Maybe they’ll reprint it with a new title, Here’s Saddam!, and it could be about how Saddam cuts a deal, gets his own late-night talk show, and employs Ed McMahon as his sidekick.
It could work.
