Do you think Quadaffi is holed up in London House?

That would be the most genius piece of PR I've ever seen. Getting himself some talk in the WSJ.

Before you know it, he'll be lunching with Dick Cheney and wars will begin in nations that sell the most wool.

For all the hate Luca gets, I give him credit for the following:

-not wearing jeans
-having his pants hemmed
-owning a sports jacket

I think that plot must have been based on this story, from the NYT:
