VIDEO: ‘Libyan Hit Squad’ (1986)

This tune was recorded 25 years ago by my buddy Chris Cassone: (Via I Own The World.) Nice beat, easy to dance to, I’ll give it an 85.

Oh, Noes! Moammar Qaddafi Abandoned by ‘Voluptuous Blonde’ Ukrainian Nurse

In January, we told you about Galyna, the “voluptuous blonde” Ukrainian nurse whose . . . um, services to Libyan dictator Moammar Qaddafi were described by the U.S. ambassador in a diplomatic cable obtained by WikiLeaks. Now, we have a sure sign that the situation in Tripoli has reached dire proportions: Galyna Kolotnytska returned to […]

On Mr. Rumsfeld

by Smitty By the power of Kindle, I’m about 2/3 through Rumsfeld’s book, and I highly recommend it to all Americans.
