In the midst of all the celebrations that good finally defeated evil yesterday, there is this fact: the U.S. got the leads that allowed it to find and kill Osama bin Laden from two men: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda "operations chief" Abu Faraj al-Libi. These men have been kept in secret CIA prisons in Europe. They have been kept at Guantanamo in Cuba.
But aren't they fun, in a totally nihilistic, "I need a drink!" sort of way? Isn't it sort of, "Oh, there goes crazy Uncle Ken, that crank! He's talking about the Illuminati again!" at the family reunion? I mean, he makes me cry from soul-crusthing despair, but I do roll my eyes fondly first. And that's why I am morally weak.
As far as The Powers What Am are concerned, "illegal" only matters if we're trying to prosecute them legally. If we just want to kill people, well, the sky's the limit, isn't it?
Some fuckbrain celebrated Got 'Im Day by phoning in what local cops called a "credible bomb threat." This is supposed to make me feel better?
Well, there is that whole matter of "where will the trial be held" and "which public defender gets the honor of representing him in court" and "holy shit, the liberals are just handing him a platform from which to spread his views!" So yeah, all things considered, fuck all that.
WHY WON'T YOU LET US HAVE NICE THINGS, WONKETTE?!???!!! *sob*
Can't wait for Ken's midnight screed about how this definitively shows the Death of America and that Obama is the morally weak AntiChrist after all.

"We can [do anything] *kill anybody* we put our minds to."
Fixed.
What, you think he has time to read the posts?
No.way. Seriously?
Wondering who was paid off? Obviously, they were getting more than the $25 mill they'd have gotten for turning the bastard in.
Wasn't there a couple amendments I used to hear about, like the fourteenth?

Bury him real deep, make it easy for him to get where he's going.
i prefer it to the interminable (and inevitable) internet discussion on whether he's really dead.
you sound like spike from 'buffy the vampire slayer'.
well, we still have country buffets, right?
