#WheresAssad ?

Where's Bashar Al-Assad? He's had a rough week, and for some reason avoided a public appearance yesterday for Syria Army Day. Possibly he's a little hesitant about showing his face these days?

Anyway. We haven't seen the fellow for a while, and it is definitely time to catch up! The people of Syria, the world at large, and certainly the Twittersphere want to know where he's keeping himself. Some of the most intriguing theories are being discussed under the #WheresAssad hashtag.

Here are some of the possibilities floated yesterday on Twitter regarding Assad's current whereabouts:

• #WheresAssad? In conference room; weekly meeting w/his Twitter trolls falls awkwardly silent when he asks why they stopped using word "#Assad"

• #WheresAssad In the bathroom, staring at mirror, endlessly repeating the phrase "I did it my way." 

• #WheresAssad? At UN, leading symposium with no attendees: "I Had To Kill 900 #Syrian Children Because They Were Terrorists"

• #WheresAssad? In his study, devouring a book entitled HOW TO GROW A BEARD REALLY REALLY FAST 

• #WheresAssad In Washington, engaging in a one-man protest against "war crimes by people who are not me" 

• #WheresAssad? In a speeding limousine, frantically checking his smartphone for the number of #Gaddafi's plastic surgeon.
