Still No Place in New York for Qaddafi’s Tent

Poor Muammar el-Qaddafi.

He has been trying to pitch his tent all over the New York area. But he has been turned down in Central Park, Englewood, N.J., and most recently, by the Westchester County town of Bedford, where tenants from the United Arab Emirates renting Donald Trump’s 213-acre estate were given a stop-work order after they began assembling a tent that would be used by the Libyan leader.

- It seems to me that "pitch a tent" is like CIA code for something devious. Like POTUS or FLOTUS, this should just be shortened PAT. The eagle has landed and he wants to PAT.

  Incidentally, Muammar's sported the mirrored sunglasses, too.
  
  But, yeah, his extravagance could choke a horse.
