Absolute power can and frequently does yield decisions which appear as qualitatively nuts.

When there are no constraints on behavior, morality and ethics are stricken from the human formula.

Conservative and progressive relaxation on various standards of conduct extend the range of permissible conduct into regions once thought to be outside the norm. Common to both is a granting of largesse to a unique constituency within either camp. We call this political cronyism or more precisely, corruption.

Be kind to ~~your~~ ~~parents~~Quaddafi
Though ~~they~~ he don't deserve it

Remember ~~they're grownups~~ he's a dictator

A difficult stage of life.

They're apt to be nervous
And overexcited
Confused from the daily storm and strife

Just keep in mind (just keep in mind)
Though it sounds odd, I know
Those ~~parents~~ tea partiers once were ~~children~~ sane

long ago
Incredible!

So treat them with patience
And sweet understanding

Some day you may wake up, and find you're a ~~parent~~ tea partier too!

Absolute power means they don't have to feign sanity. They can be as crazy as it comes and still be the leader of an entire country. That guy in North Korea probably had the most fun being nuts while 3/4 of the country starved. Chairman Mao was loony enough to think his country would do just fine if everyone just kept their noses to the grindstone and pretended the human spirit didn't need no damned culture.

Let's face it; most dictators are nuts. And we'll all be in the same boat if we don't stop having fun with the up and coming tea party wackos and begin to see them for the dangerous despots they want to -- and could -- become.

I am not sure where Moammar

I am not sure where Moammar fits into the Hitler ratings relative to fellows like Amin; but I have been watching this batshite crazy guy for decades.

Did not Clinton come within meters of bombing him into kingdom come?

And like Sadaam, depending of course on who sat in our Oval Office, were not we giving Moammar weapons during some intervals in his reign?

America kind of loves and hates these villains who seem to come right out of a Batman comic book.

Every day it was Halloween for this mofo! I do not think that anyone in the history of mankind had so many costumes.

Absolute power seems to really have an effect upon the ego and certain areas of the brain.
