April 22, 2003: Well, If You Consider Lying Like A Weasel To Be An "Action" . . .

The folks at Herobuilders.com, makers of custom action figures, have a new line of Operation Iraqi Freedom characters. My favorite is Iraqi Information Minister, Mohammed Saeed al Sahhaf. He comes in a "Dumb" and "Dumber" version; the "Dumber" version talks.

OK, perhaps it's in bad taste to make fun of the vanquished, but at least it has a long history. And they also do action figures of President Bush, Tony Blair, and Rudy Giuliani. Check out their website for the complete line, including Osama bin Laden in drag -- no, really -- for the whole story.
