BREAKING NEWS: Osama Bin Laden Dead

I don’t know which network she was from but I bet it starts with a “F” and is unbalanced.

Another thing that I thought was kinda funny was when the media was asking questions about how we knew for sure it was BinLaden and they said that the DNA was 99.9% sure. A woman asked, “Why did you say, 99.9%, are you not sure?” He answered, “Ah, that is how all DNA reports give the result when they are sure.” That’s our MSM for ya!

I copied that from an article online but I have heard the same as you have, too. In fact, Cheney’s daughter has been on the media telling everyone she can: “See, torture does work.” But, I heard that this info didn’t come from the guy they tortured 136 times but someone else and he hadn’t been waterboarded. I don’t know if that is true or not. I guess we will hear more everyday.

I learned the answer to my own queston. They took BinLaden’s body out and they left the others there in the house. They don’t know what happen to them. Pakistan has secured the house now. And, it was not BinLaden’s wife but the wife of one of the other two men.

I know this probably isn’t that funny but one of HP’s headings says:
BinLaden Killed While Firing at Seals.
Well, I think Peta may have been involved, too.

Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of bin Laden.

They told us how they buried BinLaden at sea but has anyone heard what they did with hiis son, brother, the courier? Did they bury them at sea, too? And, his wife? I heard conflicting reports on whether she was killed or not.

Ah, he didn’t know what to get Will and Katie for a wedding present, so, Obama got them something they would really appreciate????

I know how you feel. I was thinking the same thing. We did kill someone, his wife, and son. I know Osama had it coming but…….
I did feel better when they said that they buried him at sea and did it in the usual sea burial traditions. They haven’t said anything about the others and how they were buried.

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and, and, and, you’d the fool.” Someone should tweet Palin that we have learned the lease on BenLadin’s house was co-signed by B&C Investments. Bush&Cheney

Another thing that no one has mentioned is that Osama was the major source of funding for Al Qaeda. He still had money coming to him from family investments. The family may have cut him off (some think they never really did)but he had his own investments, too.

The only thing I miss Bush about this is seeing him try to say the name of the town that they found OBL.

We were joking here but on AlJazeer they did interview a neighbor and he said that the neighborhood has been wondering about this house for sometime. That you never saw anyone and they didn’t put their garbage out, they burned it which is unusual there. That the only person they saw going there was a boy that brought bread and a chicken each day.

» Posted By SallyT On May 2, 2011 @ 5:39 am

On Al Jazeera is showing pictures from the inside of the house that BinLaden was shot. Doesn’t look to luxurious. Bloody, tho.

That is funny. How do these guys come up with this stuff so fast and get it on YouTube? LOL

» Posted By SallyT On May 2, 2011 @ 1:56 am

The more I think about it, it was when Rachel was over there and it was the guy showing her around Afghanistan.

» Posted By SallyT On May 2, 2011 @ 1:44 am

Had many people coming and going but we just thought he was a drug dealer. His wives seemed nice. He always had his garbage out in time.

Well, he is no Jim Morrison to me. But, I know there are others who think of him in that way

Oh, no, AdLib, Beck is going to have to work that into the blackboard!

» Posted By SallyT On May 2, 2011 @ 1:07 am

MSNBC said that Hitler was announced dead on May 1, 1945.

» Posted By SallyT On May 2, 2011 @ 1:06 am

You’re right. My connections won’t show up until he moves to the second blackboard.

» Posted By SallyT On May 2, 2011 @ 12:59 am

Oh, yah! And, I am sure he will connect it to the end of the world and buying gold.

» Posted By SallyT On May 2, 2011 @ 12:49 am

I heard the fish threw him back.

» Posted By SallyT On May 2, 2011 @ 12:27 am

I do remember that. He was making a real point of everybody knows it.

» Posted By SallyT On May 2, 2011 @ 12:24 am

You know, I heard a guy on Rachel Maddow’s show several months ago say that Osama was living in a mansion in Pakistani. I don’t remember who it was but I do remember the conversation. Guess he knew something after all.

Where is this week thing coming from? The President in his speech said it happened today. I think it took a week to get it done but they haven’t had his body for a week. I heard that they are still doing more DNA but they are sure it is him.

What is a “Real” American?

As I once described myself to someone: I am a woman that is part Scottish, Irish, French, German and Native American. When you put that all together you get:
A person who is tight with their money,
Enjoys a good drink,
Loves to love,
Has a temper
and is entitled to go on the war path atleast once a month.

You only have to read Mr. Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence to see how they felt about the Natives they found here:
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.”

Another thing that has always amazed me is that we feel we are the only ones that can call ourselves Americans. There are many other countries and people in North America and South America. So, aren’t Mexicans American? Canadians, Brazilians, Cubians, etc, etc, etc? No, we are the “only Americans”. I really think it has a lot to due with not being able to say United Statians. 🙂

As always, enjoyed your article, Abby!

Pessimism in the Age of Mass Manipulation and Plutocracy…

Okay, Abby, I am not going to tell you to keep your chin up, not going to blow smoke up your ass, not going to tell you to be good to people and they will be good to you, etc etc etc etc. I am going to tell you to say: Fuck that!

Now that we have that out of the way, lets see if that can get us anywhere. You sound like your children are grown. Good! When we have small children we have to put them first in our lives We have to work for their shelter, food, care, provide an example, and remain available to them until we leave this earth. Of course, that last item is still with us even after they are grown and have children of their own. So now, Abby, we are just down to you.
I can tell you all the wrongs and rights of my life but that won’t serve any purpose except for me to air off the wrongs and rights I have dealt with. We might come across some similarities. Hell, I was in collection for 25 years. But, I was in corporate collections. I got to call General Electric, WalMart, KMart, Safeway, even Bank of America and tell them to pay their damn freight bills or else I was going to sue their ass. (not in those exact words, mind you, but the thought was there.) And, as I have told you before, I got sick, got stubbed in the back, lost friends I thought would be there for life, lost the boat, the cars, the motorcycles, oh hell, I lost a lot of things I thought I needed when I busted my ass to get them. All I got was sick!
So, Abby, I ended up with just me. Oh, I have my family and my dog. But, that is not the issue we are addressing. I didn’t end up with anything that was just for me.
What to do for Abby? I only told you all that above because I want you to know that no matter what you do, you always end up with just you. There we need to focus and to make the best place for you to end up.
We won’t change the world no matter how much we shout. That is going to take millions and probably years. If you find getting involved in that, you should. You get something from helping others, do it! But, as you said that doesn’t put a roof over your head, food on the table, and health insurance. Got to have all those things. We don’t live in a commune where everyone works to make sure everyone is taken care of and all have the equal. Yes, I am as frustrated with how business for profit has taken over the world and made us suckers for wanting more. And, it may destroy some of it. You only have to look at the history of the fall of Rome to see that on the horizon.
We have to have those above mentioned essentials, food, shelter, and health. How do you get those? Got to find something that will give you a return that will cover the costs.
Abby, if you can find something that you like that covers those cost, that is wonderful. But, if you have to do something that might not be exactly your ideal, sell a little of your soul. Just enough to get those things out of the way. Don’t over sell that soul! You have the kids grown. Just cover the costs. With the rest of your soul, you spend all of that on you. Just you! Experiment on things you never thought you would. Write that book or paint that picture. Who cares if they don’t make any money until you’re dead. Hell, the kids can have that money and if the Republicans or still in power, they won’t pay inheritance tax. And, YES, Abby, save sometime to change a little part of the world and help those less fortunate. You are important in that effort because of who you are. Why, because of all the things you wrote and your fight with yourself shows you want to be part of making a difference. If you can rest your head on your pillow at night knowing that you cover those costs, had some time to experiment, and gave just a little to making a difference, well, Abby is going to sleep good tonight!
Abby, you just have to make yourself happy. No one can tell you how. You are the only one that knows that. You know what will do it for you. As they say, “When Mommy is happy, everybody is happy.” Damn right! Its there for you to find. Don’t fight with finding it. You can get frustrated and will. Only you know have an idea where to start because only you know were you want to be when its just you. You’ll find it, I know you will.

The Kochroaches Emerge from the Woodwork

Very good comment and thank you for sharing your thoughts. The only thing I would like to add is that even on some issues that we disagree with our friends on the other side, we still allow them “choice”. They are allowed to disagree and not choose that. But they want us to have to agree with them by making it their way only.
