Dictators are dropping like flies..
.Can Governor Walker and the Republicans be far behind?

First, Tunisia with Ben Ali. Then, Egypt with Mubarak. Now, Libya with Qaddafi. Who's next?

The lies and deceit catch up with them all eventually. That is why Governor Walker should take pause, as well as the lying GOP in Washington. If you shake that giant too much, it might just wake up?

First the planet has to be swept clean of all those toxic elements. It could be happening.

7. The consensus on Twitter is that it was a suicidal speech
and that there's no way that family can cling to power after this.

I think they're right. The only thing that kept them in power was fooling people into thinking it was an "us versus the world" proposition. Now they know who the real enemy has been all along.

Libya isn't Egypt, though. It's likely to be a mess there no matter what happens.

15. What are the politics like in Paraguay?
That's where they bought a bunch of property. Either to hide or to start a fresh water war...

16. I haven't really kept up with it, but they did have a
change of government. Also, that land used to belong to the indigenous people there and they might have a claim to it.

Sorry. We may be more educated than those in other parts of the world, but we're not as smart.
