A Touch of History
This will mostly contain history stuff.
Thursday, August 25th, 2011
* It's looking like one of the Arabic speaking women reporters supported by some of the other translators talked the Loyalists down and got them to free their 30-40 prisoners from the hotel. Some people are now wondering if that is where Gaddafi was hiding, and resolve crumbled after he moved out. There is no proof, only speculation.

* There's been fierce fighting at an airport, and some speculation the loyalists are trying to get Gaddafi out.

* Saadi, one of Gaddafi's sons, is contacting people in the hopes of negotiating cease fire.

* What's up with random spellings of Gaddafi? There are literally over a hundred roman alphabet spellings. I've picked one my spell checker liked pretty much at random. Whatever news source you are watching, odds are it won't match.

* In case you were curious, Iman El Abidi, the brave woman who accused Libyan government forces of rape, is now safe in the US and well out of danger. I know I'd been wondering.

* I don't know if I mentioned that there is a major Hurricane coming. They expect it it hit as far north as the Carolinas and it's even odds it will head towards New york vs. out to sea. I hope all you East coasters stay safe.

* Steve jobs has stepped down as CEO of Apple due to ill health.

* NYPD has been illegally infiltrating law abiding organizations simply because they have Arab American members. Assholes. The CIA was also involved.

* neo_prodigy found, this horrifying thing happened: http://rippdemup.com/2011/08/23/black-college-student-beaten-for-speaking-to-white-female-by-racists/

I keep thinking this is the 21st century and we should be better than this by now.

* Deusabscondum's visiting tomorrow, so I will likely still be behind on the Internet until Friday or Saturday. Y'all know the drill folks.
