I was checking out some photos Slate posted from Saddam’s private photo stash when I read a caption that cracked me up. They had the picture above with the following caption underneath:
Saddam was a fan of the Godfather movies and incorporated many Mafia-style elements into his regime—and into his wardrobe.
I found that funny because I could easily imagine him forcing everyone around him to watch the movie and then force them to each dress up as a character from the film. If only he was a Star Wars fan the picture above might have been even funnier. [Link]

Although he wasn’t that good of a leader he did have great taste in movies as I’m a fan of The Godfather too.
I only enjoyed the first one.

@Hielda The Godfather is the I Ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question. What should I pack for my summer vacation? “Leave the gun, take the cannoli.” What day of the week is it? “Maunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday.” And the answer to your question is “Go to the mattresses.
