Birther nonsense is dead. Long live the Deather hysteria! The White House has decided to not release the death photos of Bin Laden. A good point is that people prone to conspiracy theories would likely dismiss the photos as faked regardless of whether or not they got to see them.
That said...Why does the article devote so many inches to the estimated value of Bin Laden's hideout? I'm confused as to why that's even remotely relevant to anyone other than real estate agents in Abbottabad.
Salon amps up the pressure for a photo release here.
I hope it doesn't keep anyone up at night but the Archbishop of Canterbury is uncomfortable. I mention this with a rather healthy dose of snark of course. That said, I have argued vociferously against assassinations (and make no mistake, this most certainly was an assassination), here. So what's the difference? Is it that significant that in the latter case, an American was being targeted for assassination? Is there a moral difference to targeting a citizen for execution rather than a foreigner inasmuch as both are equally repellent? Can I celebrate one assassination while decrying the other? It's a complicated question that should certainly be carefully considered but I would say "Yes. Yes, I certainly can." When all is considered, I think that logically one has to conclude that the rights and protections claimed by citizenship are more significant than any demands, moral or legal, made by international law. And to be honest, everyone feels pretty good about it.
Pakistan legitimately, is up in arms over its inability to maintain its own sovereignty. After investing so much power in the military, citizens are more than a little alarmed to discover that its ability to secure the nation is on par with Sergeant Schulz from Hogan's Heroes.
In the event you've decided that you've learned quite enough about the SEALs, here's a little something about the dogs.
I'm assuming that the police are Ralph Macchio fans.
Perhaps our coming robot overlords won't be such bastards after all.

In which an unemployed couple from a welfare family visit a bankrupt state.
Oh my...Worth reading just for the picture of Santorum. Probably won't check out the debate. I suppose I should just so I can get my kicks in while they last.
Some companies ask that employees promise to provide the best possible service. Apple asks for something a bit different.
