FINALLY: Osama Bin Laden Dead

Breaking news.  Obama is about to give a statement.  OK, I'll actually listen.  As for Osama ... Good riddance.   I'll try not to be much annoyed to watch Obama swan in to take the credit, because it's not about him.  The long hunt for the world's most wanted terrorist is over, and we got our man.

UPDATE 1:  A speech that, at last, had some substance.  A good speech.  (Is this the first time Obama's ever referred to Dubya in a speech without slamming him?)

UPDATE 2:  Mass celebrations have broken out on social media and physically in front of the White House.  Buh-bye to Al Qaeda's poster boy, one of the most hated men in the world.  Part of me is a bit abashed to feel so much grim satisfaction at the death of someone -- and on a Sunday too.  But.  BUT.  He was a blood-soaked monster and a force for evil all over the world, evil of the most barbarous, pitiless, and despicable sort.  We got the dirtbag in the end.  That's what matters.  HIGH FIVE, USA!

May Day will always be a celebration from now on. It is no longer a day for fools to celebrate the ideology of mass murderers but to celebrate the death of one mass murderer.
