Osama bin Laden had a porn collection. Moammar Gadhafi had a crush on Condoleezza Rice.
Gadhafi's crush makes me wonder why dictators have such strange and secret (or not so secret) behaviors. Before anyone gets started, I'm not saying having a yearning for Rice is strange — she's an attractive enough woman. But to have a secret photo album of the woman — strange!
Flash forward three years, when Libyan rebels moved into Gadhafi's Tripoli stronghold and took control. There, left behind in the compound, was Gadhafi's dear Leezza, her image affixed to the pages of a photo book.Rebels leafed through the album Wednesday after finding it as they rummaged through Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound.
Rice did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the discovery of the photos. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland was also asked about the album.
"I don't need to see the photos," she said. "But bizarre and creepy are good adjectives to describe much of Gadhafi's behavior. So (it) doesn't surprise me. It's deeply bizarre and deeply creepy, though, if it is as you described."

It's a cliche, but people often say they felt the earth move after good sex. Well, yesterday around 1:51 p.m., it actually happened. Too bad the sex wasn't good for *Maya (not her real name).
Over lunch, Maya and I talked about the 5.8 quake that hit the East Coast and made Charlotte tremble for a few seconds.
"I figured something was wrong," she said. "I was fighting sleep while he was pumping in and out like a jackrabbit. Then it felt as if the we were having sex on a water bed in the middle of the ocean. And then bam, it was over. Pretty much the way we normally had sex."
Maya and her guy were puzzled and flipped on the TV to find out that the earth really did move. Maya said that was the last time she plans to get intimate with Mr. Lackluster Lover.
"It's not as if he can make the earth move again. He could barely make his hips move."
Ouch.

A man in Wilmington, N.C. is being sought after he was seen smashing a "homophobic" sign in front of a church.
WECT reports on the sign at Sea Gate Community Chapel, which had become a flashpoint for vandalism from opponents and supporters of the church prior to the damage on Sunday afternoon. Wilmington Pride protested the sign Sunday morning because of its message, which said, “God loves gays but he hates a perverted lifestyle,” with the warning to “turn or burn.”“Witnesses tell police a tall man took a hammer to the sign before leaving in a silver Ford Taurus,” reports WECT. “The car is reported to have bumper damage and a missing hubcap from the front left tire.”
Anna Benson, who made the sign, told the news station that it is not meant to offend anyone. Pastor David Heuring supports her and the sign because, he said, it is based on biblical truth.
“I love the gays,” said Benson. “I love everybody.”
The sad thing about religion, which is supposed to be about love, is that people twist the bible to fit their cause. I'm sure if I cracked open the holy book, I could take a statement out of context and further my cause as well. But is this really love?
Check out what a pastor in Charlotte did during a recent service at St. Peter's Catholic Church And he explains his hate holy reasoning for protesting gays by quoting the bible.

Two people are dead after what police are describing as a domestic-violence-related shooting. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers responded to the Park Creek Apartments on Thursday to investigate multiple calls to 911 that gunshots had been fired inside an apartment.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found Edris Gbarlee Juyenneh Dickson and Darron Orlando Davis inside the residence, both suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Davis was transported with life-threatening injuries by Medic to Carolinas Medical Center. He later died. Dickson was pronounced deceased on scene by Medic.
Based upon information and evidence gathered on the scene, Dickson reportedly shot her boyfriend multiple times and then turned the gun on herself. In addition, at the time of the shooting, a female called 911 and stated that she shot her boyfriend; she then hung up the phone.
What's not clear in this story is who the abuser was. Or if this shooting could've been prevented. Was there help for Davis, if he was a battered man? According to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office website, Dickson was arrested last year for carrying a concealed weapon, a gun.
