This is a great hoax I've been following....

I posted on this once before, but it is really turning out to be a fun thing to watch every day to see what happens next. This is a weblog of a purported (read: fake) National Guard soldier in Baghdad who has gone AWOL to find an elusive Iraqi doctor to treat him for his sickness, which he thinks might be due to the DU muitions. Anyway, the site originally seemed to be an anti-military kind of radical site, but it has quickly degenerated into a soap opera between the soldier and his wife who has been pissed off at her husband for not coming home, and now turns out might have been cheating on him, and meanwhile he is running around Baghdad with an attractive Iraqi women. The whole thing gets faker and faker day by day, but it's a real hoot. It's hilarious that this guy has gone on an absurb pointless quest to find a doctor who has disappeared since before the war, and then to watch the marriage fall apart. Anyway, first watch the video links given before -- not all of them are linked anymore on the webpage, so watch them all first --

And then check out the blog with all the commentary and posts from readers and more pictures and stuff:
