There’s a lot of alphabet soup being used in the spelling of an ugly man’s name, who resurfaced again in the news in recent weeks.

And, I’ll bet President Barack Hussein Obama, wishes he never heard of his name even though he’s been around longer than Obama’s been alive and is wondering why someone else didn’t take out this man long before journalists had trouble spelling it, and he had to deal with it.

Blame it on Bush.

But, my personal delima is that I have spelled Moammar Gadhafi every which way to Sunday, and I don’t know what the hell that means.

In reviewing my reports I know I spelled it Gadhafi and Qaddafi, I never misspelled Moammar because I didn’t use it, until maybe this time and according to some of the spelling I misspelled it as well.

Apparently his name is easier to say than to spell, especially after reviewing what’s happened in the spelling of his name on the Internet and in major newspapers across the land.

The New York Times says he is Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.

The Wall Street Journal and AP says he’s Moammar Gadhafi.

Reuters says Muammar Gaddafi and the LA Times goes with Moammar Kadafi.

Wikipeda uses Muammar al-Gaddafi.

Google says in order of hits its Wikipedia in a landslide:

• Muammar al-Gaddafi 1.05 million hits
• Moammar Gadhafi 175,000 hits
• Muammar el-Qaddafi 57,900 hits
• Moammar Kadafi 9,340 hits

I think I’m going to go with Dictator Gadhafi, but I wish the coalition forces would take him out before I have to spell his name again, because any spelling of his name comes out BAD.
