I tell you guys a bit of regular news, Weird News, and reveal the Palinism of the Day; before I talk about Operation: OVERTHROW! Specifically, the revolution in Libya.
Gadhafi- RESIGN! NOW! Flee into exile forever in Venezuela...
You butcher your own people, yet expect to stay in power? NO!
In solidarity, we fully support and encourage the protestors in Libya.
You will succeed, you will win. Your brutal tyrant of a dictator will not.
LIBERALS, LEFTISTS, WORKERS, REVOLUTIONARIES, and OPPRESSED PEOPLE of the world RISE and UNITE!

1. My dear WHL

I know this sounds a little strange, but Colonel Gaddafi has really nothing from which to resign. The title he holds is "Leader and Guide of the Revolution," a title he has held since its creation in 1979. No authority goes with the office, although Gaddafi is clearly Libya's leader. Legally, it seems to be like being head of state (President) in a parliamentary system, or the King in a constitutional monarchy. So, while the President and Prime Minister (Libya actually has one of each) could resign, that wouldn't make Gaddafi go away. He could resign his office, but that would have no effect on his authority, since he does not derive his authority from his office.

However, just sending the sonofabitch into exile would, and it really won't matter if he goes to Venezuela, Saudi Arabia or Antarctica.

2. Well...
...can't he give up being Leader and Guide of the Revolution?
Yeah, at the very least send the guy into exile, you're right. He can't rule Libya very well from Venezuela.
Thanks for that insightful and intelligent comment! Hope I answered it satisfactorily...
