Gadhafi is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Gadhafi.
Culture Buzz Here are screen shots of MSNBC, CNN and Fox from roughly the same time this afternoon. If an Obama foreign policy success falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it help his reelection chances?
Politics Buzz Because when a dictator dies, people need to tweet about it. These were the best that twitter had to offer.

Politics Buzz Many strange things have been found throughout the ransacking of the Gaddafi compound in Tripoli, but an extremely normal family photo album was discovered by Tyler Hicks this last weekend. The album was located in a lesser-known house on the property, and most of the pictures look like they were taken in the 1980s. (via lens.blogs.nytimes.com)
Politics Buzz Raiding rebels just uncovered a truly strange scrapbook from Muammar Gaddafi's Bab al-Azizia compound: it's full of photos of former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Politics Buzz When a polarizing political figure as monumental as (former) Libyan President Muammar Muhammad Gaddafi comes along, a seemingly endless stream of artistic interpretations follows.

Two of Gadhafi's sons have been captured by the freedom fighters, but the whereabouts of Gadhafi himself remain unknown.

Politics Buzz The Republican-controlled House of Representatives earlier today defeated a symbolic measure to give President Obama authority to continue the U.S. intervention in Libya, but in a later vote refused to actually defund the intervention. The first vote was a rebuke of President Obama and his use of executive power, the second vote showed divisions within the Republican party when it comes to politicizing military matters.
