I have a few thoughts on this matter.
- I won't claim to know as much as I should about Gaddafi. I have a VERY general grasp on his reign in Libya. But what I do know is that he was an evil-doing bad guy. Everyone knows any evil ruler's one main goal is to destroy/take over the world. All you have to do is watch any Austin Powers movie or Pinky and the Brain. So here, here NATO soliders/revolutionists/freedom fighters! I really like the part of the story that he was shot with his own golden gun. Straight out of a movie, my friends.
- Does it make anyone else uncomfortable that every citizen in Libya owns a machine gun/uzi? Gun control issues aside, does every person really need an automatic weapon? I feel like the answer is no. I am of course, a proponent of knife fights. Much more West Side Story/Adventures in Babysitting. Chinese stars are fun too. And brass knuckles. I remember seeing a guy at the Payne County Fair when I was a kid who was wearing brass knuckles. Hooligans of Stillwater come prepared for battle...even to the fair.
- I watched the clip of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton receive news of Gaddafi's death. She remained pretty calm. Two words: let down. Would have really amped up the awesomeness if she would have started high fiving everyone in the room. I would react that way. I'd probably keep a little confetti in my pocket too, for just such an occasion. Up high, down low, confetti. Boom! Ol' Hill doesn't strike me as a high fiver, which is okay by me, but maybe a fist bump or even a thumbs up would have taken that video from a 6 to an 11.
That's all. Those are my thoughts on current events. Don't you feel smarter? You're welcome.
I apologize for lack of blogs lately. It's amazing how being busy takes away time to write pithy blogs about nothing.
The golden gun was my favorite part! I was awake when the first tweets started coming in at maybe 4 am (in LA) and that was one of the first ones I saw. Hilarious! The man was a real-life Bond villain.
