  • What's your preferred spelling for the Libyan leader's last name?

    You know. The man with a funny hat and a taste for terrorism. Muammar. And after that, it gets a bit difficult. For reference, this column by Cecil Adams.

    I prefer good ol' Gaddafi.

        "Qadhafi", just to drive people nuts.

                  "The Farting Bloke" is another old favourite.

                    "For many years, however, the Mummer was too busy promoting global chaos to devote much time to the niceties of orthography. That changed in May, 1986, when he responded to a letter from some second-graders at Maxfield Magnet School in St. Paul, Minnesota. The colonel signed the letter in Arabic script, beneath which was typed "Moammar El-Gadhafi"

                        We are doing a project on evil dictators opposed to our majestic country and would appreciate any information you could give us on the current progress of your evil anti-freedom, anti-democracy plans.
                        Sincerely."

                          it was the doing of traitorous liberal schoolteachers who were trying to indoctrinate our youth into their noxious cult of liberalism to undermine our republican motherhood!
