Would you want him in your back yard?

ABC News reports: "Shunned Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi slept in the Libyan diplomatic mission last night as officials in the suburban town of Bedford, N.Y., issued a stop work order on his palatial tent being erected on property owned by Donald Trump.

Gaddafi arrived in the United States Tuesday evening, the first time he has entered this country or addressed the U.N. since he took power 40 years ago.

His reception in the United States has been as chilly as a desert night and his aides have wandered around the metro region trying to find a place to pitch their leader's tent.

After being rejected by New York City's Central Park and by the town of Englewood, N.J., the Libyans posed as Dutch diplomats to rent a Manhattan town house that had a large roof that could have accommodated a tent."

Anyone not a foreign dictator would know you don't just waltz into an American town and put up a giant tent without clearing it first with the local zoning board and licensing office. Where was his advance team?

Hope. Change. Obama. You can't say he didn't tell us.

Was he the guy who kept referring to Obama as "a son" and saying he was a Kenyan? Must be great for the "birthers."

Au contraire! Our local Teabag party faithful is notorious for his opposition to all laws that limit his right to collect rent on illegally constructed, uninspected apartments, to commit perjury and forgery.

We here all eagerly await his sentencing later this month.
