Interesting that 5% hadn't heard. The news broke early in the morning eastern time. A person would have had to be home with no television or radio on, and nobody calling on the phone. Each of my three kids had called me by 9am to ask if I had heard the news.

I was out shovelling snow early Sunday afternoon. My neighbor pulled into his driveway, and I started talking about Hussein's capture. He looked at me strange, and I found out he hadn't yet heard. He'd been camping in the woods, and had his CD player on in the truck. :-)

I usually press 'F5' on my computer in the mornings (my browser is always up and i have cable modem so its ready at a moments notice). I found out immediately after waking up and there was about 4 threads in breaking news so I jumped up, ran downstairs and hugged my wife and said "we got him!" (Bremer hadn't even spoken yet...weird, eh?).
