"When Saddam Hussein was toppled, I suggested in a letter to the Fremont Chamber of Commerce that they pick up a statue of Saddam on the cheap, put it next to Lenin and create a matched set."

Comes the (Conservative) Revolution will come many changes, comrade!

I've always viewed the Lenin statue as trophy of our victory in the Cold War. Think of it as a rather large, bronze cookskin nailed over the mantlepiece. Adding Saddam as another large, bronze coonskin struck me as poetic justice.

It's like a collection of trophies or a series of deer and moose heads displayed in the den.
