as i've often said, nothing is more stupid, yet more funny, than a dictatorship. power makes people stupid, and absolute power makes them absolutely stupid; power insulates you from reality and immunizes you against reason or even meaning. but stupid people are funny! just rent a will farrell movie and you'll see what i mean. indeed i'm not absolutely certain that gaddafi isn't being played by will farrell. he vows to die a martyr. to what? his own greed and megalomania? heroic! his son, of course, in the time-honored tradition, warned that 'anarchy might break out' if the protests continue. now perhaps you are not an anarchist. but even if not, you will perhaps agree with me that anarchy looks pretty good compared to a situation in which the airforce of your own country is calling in strikes on your baby sister. i guess that's 'order.' trailer for will farrell's new film:
