Let's torment the cornered hyena. Let's threaten to prosecute Gadhafi while he's still in control of a few hundred thousand automatic weapons aimed at his peasantry.
You guessed correctly. It's the United Nations operating through one of its kangaroos, the Internatonal Court of Justice, led by one Luis Moreno-Ocampo who, if you ask me, needs fewer names and more neurons.

Pourin' Orrin Down the Hatch
Think of the corny title as a distillation of my wishes for Senator Orrin (I am Holy!) Hatch next time he has to face the voters. I hereby relinquish all copyright claims to it, just in case you'd like to borrow it as a line in a pleasant little piece of doggerel.
For one long day I was forced to work with his guy, and I came away resolved to miss no opportunity to relieve myself of my opinion that he is a hypocritical, self-important, vain, and less-than-bright example of the American legislative class.
Alas, other -- though not necessarily worse -- abominations have claimed my attention since that day during a Montana senatorial campaign when he blew into Billings, so I have been lax in public denunciations of this theocratic throwback to the days of Mountain Meadows.
A relatively new blogger, Spike and Tinkerbelle, reminds me of my lapse, and I suggest you slip on over there for a nice dissection of Hatch's latest. He's become fiscally born again again to the extent of being chief sponsor of another balanced budget amendment to the U.S.Constitution. The Hatch BBA is (a) meaningless in any budgetary sense and (b) a Hatch stab at not being Bennetized next time the Beehive ballots carry his conceited name.
I may have suggested here that I am not an admirer of Senator Hatch and that his reputation as one of the senate's Blue Ribbon Porkers of is well earned.
...for earmark Hatch has swiped a batch
of your dough for the state of Utah...
(You can have that for your pome, too.)
The report includes a lot of Hatch's Obamaesque light-rail pipe dreams, but maybe his cutest heist (on page 4) is $4.75 million for a Salt Lake City transportation "Intermodal Facility." I suspect he means a train depot with a taxi stand.

Jane Russell addenda
(1) -- A yen to spend your quarter on a Jane Russell movie occurred after one of those frightening life changes that affect boys in about the sixth grade. You came home from a Roy Rogers movie and found yourself thinking less about Trigger and more about Dale Evans. If you really did go see The French Line next Friday night, you told Mom the first lie that made you feel really guilty.
(2) -- (And I didn't know or had forgotten this.) She appeared in Darker than Amber. as the "Alabama Tigress" (huh?). John D. reacted to the screening: "I was so convinced it would be utterly rotten, that I was pleased to find it only semi-rotten."
Wonder what his ghost will have to say about Juvenile DiCaprio as McGee?

Once upon a time, evidence of adequate nourishment was not considered a beauty flaw
At least by the GIs of World War II. RIP, Jane.
