Bombing & Fawning

Isn’t it typical of Gaddafi and his son to never be wherever a bomb will obliterate one of their hideouts? Yesterday, NATO forces bombed the Tripoli-based Gaddafi compound, killing and harming numerous civilians and others unlucky enough to be hanging in that part of the hood, but Gaddafi was not there, they say, and he remains free to roam around his country’s box - for the moment.

Will the Gaddafi’s be forced into a Saddam Hussein-like hole in the ground, or will they slip into a helicopter and silently exit Libya on a moonless night, inching their way to meet up with Bin Laden and friends at their brilliantly impossible-to-find locations? That’s the best solution – in my humble opinion.

Funny how "finding Bin Laden" has apparently fallen-off everyone’s radar. Those rugged mountains, you know. Gee, he could be anywhere in them thar hills! Let’s forget about it and pretend to fight in Afghanistan when what we’re really doing is leaning on Pakistan to avoid a full Taliban-Al Qaeda takeover and thus, loose nukes.

However, the point is how the chase is on in earnest to bomb a dictator out of his palaces/compounds and what will be the end of it all?

And what about Syria? Yeah, what about it? Shrug. Forgive me if you will/could/care, but I’d rather return to subjects of little substance, such as the Royal Wedding, to fill my cup of daily knowledge this week. There are wars of one sort or another going on all over the world at any given time, so what’s new about horror and bloodshed when it’s rare for a real-life Prince of William’s stature to marry a slightly sultry maiden?

Take advantage of the pomp and circumcism of social Class/Status worship! Get on board. Snap-out of that cynical glare! Join the reveler’s and travelers. Read a Jane Austen novel!

Have a party! Many English pubs in LA and New York are holding “slumber parties” where one can wear their PJ’s for the late-for-some live coverage. One particular LA spot is known for a cuddly rowdy bunch of regulars. One can only imagine what the wedding’s coverage will do to the patrons. I expect it will be quite a lively night. However, I wouldn’t stand too close to the dart boards.
