Turn on, tune in, revolt

I spotted this little tidbit while reading the news over lunch:

(Reuters) - Muammar Gaddafi blamed a revolt against his rule on al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden on Thursday, and said the protesters were fueled by milk and Nescafe spiked with hallucinogenic drugs, in a rambling appeal for calm.

I'm beginning to think the Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya may actually be on his way out. Before today, I thought he'd probably be able to hang on, although with considerably fewer citizens to rule.
