Yeah, I'm thinkin of ditchin my shiny 99 Volvo (my notion of a NEW car) and getting a working person's car. An old Ford or Volvo 240 perhaps. I think I'm over whatever desire I may have once harbored to be viewed as one of the 'haves'.
I stumbled on this youtube video. Moammar is gone, but he's not so dumb as his flaccid looks might suggest.

Memri also has a trove of ol' osama's speeches too that might surprise you.
