US POLITICS SPRING 2011: Let's just call off this country.

stronger evidence:

RT @jacksonjk: House Intelligence committee aide confirms that Osama Bin Laden is dead. U.S. has the body.

yoooo

Zombie Bin Laden still on the loose!

At the risk of sounding gauche, it's not like anyone in the Republican Party, or American generally, much cares about bin Laden. For the former, he was a means to an end. For the latter, they think Hussein did it while bin Laden went down the memory hole.

*America

Morgan Spurlock will finally get some relief if it's true.

yea i mean, kinda like when Saddam was captured, it really doesn't mean a lot as it's ten years too late. still a good thing, obv, but I'm hardly as excited as I woulda been if we captured him in like, say, 2003...if this is even what they're reporting

this Mets game is actually way awesome imo, how can you not like a pitcher named "Bastardo"

msnbc just going for it.

BREAKING NEWS10:40 PM ET
Osama bin Laden Is Dead, White House Says

haha yeah whoever was on before was all pressing his earpiece in going "can i say it involves an event overseas? oh well i just said that, an event overseas"

Wolf Blitzer has said "I don't want to speculate" 49 times in the last five minutes. I'll speculate that he's dying to speculate.

I'm already feeling safer

I won't believe it's Osama til I see his birth certificate. Hey-o!

hahaha

Al jazeera now reporting on US networks reporting that..... you get the picture

lil jon is now reporting that bin laden is dead, and we have his body

BUT U KNOW WHO IS?

funny that Obama does this in the middle of Celebrity Apprentice

not sure which is more exciting - bin laden dead or ryan howard tied the game!

Cleveland Indians are 19-8, I give 1 trillion more shits about that than I do bin Laden.

nah, fuck that guy bin laden. he sucked. this is a win for the world.

I bet Michelle starts crowning at this moment in nine months

lol

hahahaha

so what's the point of Obama speaking

wow CNN on this is the fucking worst news reporting I've ever fuckin seen

maybe that's what's taking so long xxxp

is it just so Obama can show up on camera makign the announcement while Who Let the Dogs Out plays over the loudspeaker

haha dude on msnbc (not realizing the irony) goes "we've had 47000 killed or wounded fighting terror since 9/11, so this is definitely good news that we got him"

Please shut up, Wolf.

WmC 100000otm but John King is just as bad right now

However, it is notable that it's exactly 8 years since President Flightsuit landed in front of his "Mission Accomplished" banner. In a just world, we'd have gotten a two-fer today.

anyone being all "i don't even care" about this is fronting so hard. if you cannot get any kind of catharsis from finding out that bin laden is dead than idk

eh they're filibustering waiting for the freakin speech to start, what do u want

michelle joek was lulz don't get me wrong

yeah i mean fuck bin laden

otoh i still have finals next week. life goes on

Everyone on my twitter is making the same "long-form death certificate" joke at the same time.

i was having a pretty crappy night but this definitely improved things for me

hey daniel esq. i hope all is well dude.

"i don't even care" actually

anyone being all "i don't even care" about this is fronting so hard. if you cannot get any kind of catharsis from finding out that bin laden is dead than idk

I wouldn't go so far as "I don't care" but finding catharsis in his death is a bit hard. It's not going to bring anyone back nor is it going to help in Afghanistan, Pakistan or anywhere else the Al Quaeda Franchise operates. Genuine justice in the form of a trial would have been truly cathartic.

Where's Lorax?

commenting on youtube

other thread actually. is he a noted bin laden stan?

xps

lol they're chanting "USA" at the Mets game
