Our future depends on it. Frankly, to me it's inconceivable that anyone could have watched Mitt Romney lie his way back and forth across the nation over the past 10 months and still think he has any true plan, or any leadership qualities. Meanwhile President Obama has given us healthcare, ended the war in Iraq, killed Osama Bin Laden, and saved our economy from the abyss.

But, if you're somehow still undecided, please take a moment to listen to the words of Mr. Chris Rock:

"Osama, who's your favorite Lil Rascal? Alfalfa, or Spanky?"

From The Huffington Post:

A stash of pornography was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the U.S. commandos who killed him, current and former U.S. officials said on Friday.

The pornography recovered in bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive, according to the officials, who discussed the discovery with Reuters on condition of anonymity.

On one hand, should this be all that surprising? Bin Laden is said to have been in the compound for nearly five years, perhaps never having stepped foot outside of it in that time. Most guys couldn't go five days without some adult entertainment. On the other, stickier hand is the hypocrisy of a supposedly devout, radical Muslim man such as Bin Laden owning and enjoying common smut. Just as with religious zealots and "moralists" in the United States, it's typically the people who preach the most intolerance who are the biggest partakers in the very things they preach against.

This news brings up so many questions for me now. What kind of porn was Osama into? Was it Arab women? American women? Bull dykes with dildos? Midgets in leather? Just how twisted are the sexual kinks of a man so demonic as to plot the most unthinkable and diabolical of terrorist attacks? Or is there a balance--did all of that venemous ugliness make him fantasize about plain, vanilla, "girlfriend-experience" sex? Would scenes of an ordinary guy having missionary sex with his loving wife in their house with a white picket fence drive Osama to climax?

*pause* Things I never thought I'd write, speak, think... or want answered.

Two Beards For the Price of One

And NHL players think their playoff beards are a symbol of dedication? What's two months of whiskers compared to 116 months' worth?

From Good Feed Blog:

Gary Weddle, a middle school teacher from Ephrata, Washington, who began growing his facial hair nearly 10 years ago as a way of reminding himself and others of the horrors of 9/11—and of the ongoing need for bin Laden to answer for it. When he learned that bin Laden was dead, he cried for joy.

I applaud Mr. Weddle on his dedication and patriotism, but his marketing skills are a little lacking. Instead of shaving it off immediately, he should've called Gillette and turned it into a huge promotional payday for himself.

I guess some people are just satisfied with justice being done in the world.

5/1/11: A Moment in History

As the day has gone on, more and more stories and various pieces of information have come out about the United States' covert operation to finally rid the world of Osama Bin Laden. A few of the choicer selections:

1. Americans react as united members of a nation, no matter what pastime we may be wrapped up in when the news breaks.




2. These two pieces of trivia from Ryan O'Hanlon at The Good Feed Blog.

Also, President Bush gave his “Mission Accomplished” speech on May 1, 2003 (8 years to the day), and Hitler was killed on May 1, 1945 (66 years to the day). I am officially freaked out.

3. This Yahoo! article about the Navy Seals who carried out the dangerous mission with immeasurable skill and unrivaled precision.

From Ghazi Air Base in Pakistan, the modified MH-60 helicopters made their way to the garrison suburb of Abbottabad, about 30 miles from the center of Islamabad. Aboard were Navy SEALs, flown across the border from Afghanistan, along with tactical signals, intelligence collectors, and navigators using highly classified hyperspectral imagers.

After bursts of fire over 40 minutes, 22 people were killed or captured. One of the dead was Osama bin Laden, done in by a double tap -- boom, boom -- to the left side of his face. His body was aboard the choppers that made the trip back.

God bless the United States of America, and all of the brave men and women who serve her.
