43. Her comments about Gaddafi got to me.

"We came. We saw. He died." Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Moammar Gaddafi.

That's how they talk in "Goodfallahs" or "Gangster Squad." It's not the mindset I prefer in the company I keep or the people I vote for.

For all his despotic failings, Gaddafi, unlike King Abdullah, actually got around to using his nation's oil wealth to make life better for the average Libyan and for many people in neighboring nations -- some of the "poorest" places on the planet.

What's real Democracy? Using the nation's treasures for all or leaving it to Sam Walton's heirs to share? The mere mention of the word 'Walmart' should send them to the Vomitorium. Ah. Vomitoria.
