Meanwhile in Libya

If you pour three Pilsner Urquells into a liter mug, you can pretend you're somewhere else.

As our new Democratic masters settle in and go about signing death warrants for our light-dark friends in the Middle East---and probably for quite a few of us down the road---we move our gaze east where VDH is having a Libyan Holiday. You would think that a small country of six millions with all that oil would be doing well wouldn't you? Another indication that oil or any natural resource is not wealth in the modern sense.

Is it a coincidence that I have some books stacked that explore the '30s and the fruits of appeasement? Yeah, it's a coincidence---I already know what's coming for us---and I just like reading about what happened back then with some new volumes that have come out in the last decade or so.
