I’m having trouble finding anything that I want to write about today. I like Cedwyn’s piece over at the Great Orange Satan. Of course, she’s talking about Nate’s piece on Obama’s DW-Nominate score. It’s information people should have in their minds when they analyze what they’re seeing in Washington, but I don’t have much to add.
I see The Donald got his comeuppance at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner last night. His act is still more sad than funny.
I’ve mentioned this before, but atheists are less likely to get elected than gays. People rarely talk about this kind of discrimination. In any case, I prefer the term “non-theists” because it is less loaded and it has, I think, a subtly more accurate meaning. It has to do with the difference between not being something and actively opposing it.
Oh, good. We can call the Teabaggers “Stalinists” without fear of contradiction.
I think I am going to introduce a bill to sterilize rich people and take their money. Also, too, compulsory abortions!!
This is why I am introducing that bill.
What’s on your mind tonight? The Borgias? Treme? Sports? The end of a very nice weekend?
Osama bin Laden is dead, by US actions. Confirmed by several news outlets.
So…we can get out of Afghanistan now, right?
I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you.
The reported assassination of Osama bin Laden Should be a significant political victory for Obama. In every other way, it is a big anticlimactic yawn as far as I am concerned.
Of course, now they’ll have to find someone else whose name to drop when they want to really demonize some country, or organization, or head of state they’ve decided they don’t like.
I strongly suggest being very, very careful not to draw any conclusions from what you will hear tonight. I’m not suspecting anything in particular. But what is being delivered is a carefully planned show. First they said Obama was going to speak at 10:30 ET — now most of America has been watching with baited breath for almost an hour listening to cable pseudo-news, with new factoids being leaked every 10 minutes like clockwork. 1) It’s about OBL. 2) He’s dead. 3) Have his body. 4) In Pakistan. 5) Near Islamabad in mansion. 6) Pakistan intelligence was involved.
I’m not drawing any conclusions — especially those that those who are broadcasting want us to draw.
He was killed by a drone. We have his body. Oh, no, wait! He was killed by special forces. We were going to bury his body at sea, but we changed our minds later on. Yeah, that’s it.
They should at least get their stories straight before they start making announcements.

The murderous fuck was killed by special forces and we have his body. That scumbag turned a bad president into a disaster and helped rip our country in two. Burn in hell you motherfucker!
You are blaming bin Laden for Bush’s crimes and stupid decisions? Sorry, my friend, this is one of the few times I cannot agree with you. Bin Laden is responsible for his crimes, but he is not responsible for the stupidity and crimes of George Bush the Second. Bush himself bears 100% of that responsibility.
