The rebels seem to be taking Tripoli with ease. Hopefully they do not get repulsed/stuck in stalemate again.

Now the ICC says they have him detained.

Surrendered.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Sky saying it was Saif Gaddafi that was detained. That's the younger son.

Probably getting raped as we speak; I do not think it unimaginable that the rebels might use Gaddafi tactics on Gaddafi's forces.

Dennis Kucinich picks the wrong time to call for an end to NATO involvement.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I thought he was against it from the beginning.  It's nice that the whole thing is working out well at the moment but that doesn't make it a good idea.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Nice to see people rejoicing from their newfound freedom.  I wonder when and how they're going to piss it away.  :hmm:
