h/t to Sam Pratt:
I invited you to please go to Wisconsin. You apparently declined. Or didn’t get the invitation. Ok. I guess you forgot about this.

US says Gaddafi is ‘delusional’ and unfit to lead
A senior US diplomat says Gaddafi’s behaviour ‘underscores how unfit he is to lead and how disconnected he is from reality’

guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 1 March 2011
Muammar Gaddafi is “delusional”, “unfit to lead” and “disconnected from reality”, according to the US ambassador to the UN.
Susan Rice made the comments following an interview Gaddafi gave in which he insisted the people of Libya love him and denied that there have been any demonstrations against his regime.
“All my people love me. They would die to protect me,” the Libyan leader said, speaking to news organisations including the BBC, laughing off international pressure to step down.
“As if anyone would leave their homeland,” he replied, accusing western leaders of betrayal and of having “no morals.”

FSZ “2.0” Almost Finished
(Cross-posted from The Free Speech Zone)
So I went all out on the new place.
The problem with places like “Daily Kos” who make a new place for themselves is that every new feature….um yeah, it’s in your fucking face and you have no choice but to just take it along with the advertising they bannered above/in/popping out of it. I hate that shit. It’s bad enough you whore yourself out to advertisers of the lowest kind but working actively to cram their message/cause down my throat? Kill yourself, srsly.
Here is video of one Daily Kos “2.0” website user’s reaction after accessing the site for the first time:
Yeah, that’s accurate.
