Update to my earlier post here and here about Qaddafi.

Public Intelligence has a good amount of pics of him after his capture.  Most are very graphic.

It would appear that the head wounds have contact burns on them.

Pics after the jump.

Fat POS who serves no purpose in life or society

A man living as an "adult baby" in California claims the federal government will allow him to continue collecting Social Security disability checks.

 Get a fucking job

Thornton claimed that his disability benefits were based not on his lifestyle as an adult baby, but on a range of conditions -- from post-traumatic stress disorder to ADHD to spinal problems to depression. "All my illnesses have had extensive testing," he wrote on his site.

 Oh but wait he CAN make money

Coburn wrote to Inspector General Patrick P. O'Caroll Jr with the following opinion. "Given that Mr. Thornton is able to determine what is appropriate attire and actions in public, drive himself to complete errands, design and custom-make baby furniture to support a 350-pound adult and run an Internet support group, it is possible that he has been improperly collecting disability benefits for a period of time."

So while we all pay for  fat piece of shit to suck on his binky and shit his diaper, he lays up in his crib and tells all of us to FUCK YOU.

I got 2 words for him.

Via Ch26 Houston

A U.S. Predator drone, along with a French fighter jet, fired on the convoy said to be carrying Muammar Qaddafi in the moments before his death, a U.S. defense official told Fox News on Thursday.

The official said the drone and French jet fired on a "large convoy" leaving Qaddafi's hometown of Sirte. A French defense official earlier said about 80 vehicles were in the convoy -- the official said the strike did not destroy the convoy but that fighters on the ground afterward intercepted the vehicle carrying Qaddafi.

President Obama said Thursday that the death of Qaddafi ends a "long and painful chapter" for the Libyan people.

The president, speaking in the Rose Garden, announced that Libyans have "won their revolution."
"Today we can definitively say that the Qaddafi regime has come to an end," he said.

Qaddafi died of wounds suffered during his capture near Sirte, according to a spokesman for the National Transitional Council in Libya.
