<Libyan leader Colonel Gadaffi is to head an international watchdog on human rights.
Libya is to be elected chair of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights - despite its links with terrorism and torture.
The move sparked a storm of controversy as it emerged British officials did nothing to block the appointment.
Libyan terrorists were responsible for the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, which killed 270 people, and Gadaffi's regime has been criticised for violence against its own people.
Human rights groups and Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith united to criticise the appointment.
But a Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "Our policy is to engage constructively with Libya, rather than isolate them."
Gadaffi's one-year term begins next March.

I don't know. But I played defense and I had some pretty good blocks. Franco kept me up last night fidgeting around so I'm grumpy. Then he'll jump off the bed at 3 in the morning, run into the kitchen to get a drink of water and pee and then I hear him tap dancing back to the room and he wants to be lifted up into the bed so he snorts and growls to get my attention. Its really fucking annoying.

Yeah, he likes to pee in the kitchen against the cats water fountain, or against a chair leg, or he even peed on my accordion once. He is a little jerk off but hes cute.

Heruka:
ewww. a dog peeing in the house. I wouldn't put up with that. my dog knew to pee outside within the first week.
(Mon Jan 27, 2003 - 12:15:24 pm)
bela:
The absolute worst is when he decides to poop in the middle of the rug leading through the living room and you step on it first thing in the morning. That sucks.
(Mon Jan 27, 2003 - 12:16:06 pm)
bela:
I know, but its little dog pee and he only does it because I'm too lazy to bring him outside to pee. Its too cold for him he doesn't like this weather.

Most people wouldn't put up with a 10th of what I put up with. My cats lay on the kitchen table and walk on the stove - that sort of thing.

Sounds like franco needs a doggie door or something. Or a big litter box. Our cats finally learned how to use a closed cat door. They couldn't figure it out for months, so we kept the flap up. A bit drafty in this cold weather, since the cat box room is cold, so we dropped the flap. They learned. Finally.
