Cool Facts About Police Captain Jamil Hussein

If you ever meet him, ask him to pull up his shirt. Don’t worry, he’s used to it. The real Jamil has two pupiks. Also, you can say any phrase you want to him and he will turn it into an anagram, just like Dick Cavett. He’s slightly colorblind, plasma TVs give him a headache, and he’s gonzo for Parker Posey.
— Police Commissioner Akim Hussein

I do not accept the assertion, however, that Jamil Hussein can make Jack Bauer cry like a little girl.

Yes, there is profanity. And vulgarity. Some of it is…too much. Some of it is hilarious. You won’t feel proud of yourself for reading it, but you’ll laugh. You’re warned.

When you’re done with Ace, go over to Michelle Malkin’s place to come up to speed with where the story is, and also read about her upcoming trip to Iraq (there’s a paypal button to donate to defray costs). Michelle has asked Eason Jordan to use the money he would have spent getting her into Iraq to invite AP Executive Editor Kathleen “lalalal, I can’t hear you” Carroll to join in the search for Captain Jamil Hussein, who was named as a source for some 60 AP articles before he abruptly went quiet right after bloggers began to wonder about him.

Meanwhile, Confederate Yankee links to some blogs whose writers practice the art of compassion, tolerance and respect for their fellow humans.

And Tim Blair is sounding impatient with media whining.
