However you spell him, Col. Moammar Gadhafi appears to have a serious case of the brain cramp going on. Long thought to be as crazy as the proverbial shithouse rat, he’s backed into a corner in Tripoli and vowing to fight to the end, whatever that may be.
McClatchy offers an interesting capsule glimpse of “The King of Kings,” and it seems that if he were just a teensy bit loonier and a skosh dumber, why, he could be a House Republican from Colorado or perhaps a candidate for the presidency of the United States.

Gadafhi does sound crazier than a bedbug lately. If I had time, I’d really like to go over there with my old Winchester Mod. 70 and sight in on the SOB’s forehead. Recall this is the clown who we can thank for Lockerbie.
As it happens, one of my best friends was wait-listed on that plane. He got so tired at the airport that he bagged it and went back to his hotel. Good move. I gave him and his girlfriend a hug when he got back to Honolulu. I would have hated to lose John. He was not only pureblood Irish, but a great friend, sharp as a tack, and a very powerful mentor to me at the University of Hawaii.
K, glad to hear that a brother Mick missed that Scotland fight. That this psycho remains atop the earth and processing oxygen remains a mystery to me. Sure, he’s squatting on top of all that light, sweet crude, and “stability” is prized above morality, but still, damn. Here’s hoping his own folks can send him to the next world while incurring minimal casualties en route to setting up something sensible in his place.
I’m still waiting to hear some kind of unified field theory describing what’s going on over there. Do you think Wikileaks tipped them off to the rumor that the second-gen’ iPad may have a carbon-fiber body?
O’G, I used to think that Twitter was a toy for the Lance et al crowd. But instead its become the most powerful paradigm-shift in politics and warfare since the Huns saw those first tanks breaking over the barbed wire at Flers. When millions of people can all hear “the beer is free for the first thousand people who moon Mubarek”, all hell is sure to break loose. I think these old bastards are toast. Too bad the same can’t be said for our old bastards.
Just read the Lanborn article. Gosh, Patrick. You have more loose nuts up your way than a hardware store in ChristChurch.
It’s kinda funny how all the Go-daffy’s sending out the troops against those demanding his ouster over freedom, jobs, lack of just about everything civil, etc, is met with universal condemnation here in the U.S., but we’re allowing Nazi’s likeScott Walker and his ilk to do same here. WTF is wrong with this picture?
Besides the fact that Walker is not a Socialist? Or am I missing something…..
Walker doesn’t mind robbing the middle class to feed the rich.
