Who as it turns out, might have made his sojourn to Abbottabad a working vacation. Apparently, he was still scheming and scheming away. He had reportedly planed to strike terror into the hearts of Americans by derailing a train. Which would have been totally effective if (with the exception of Joe Biden), Americans still rode trains. The plot was abandoned once someone reminded Bin Laden that this is no longer the 19th century.
Here are some other people that would prefer to not return to the old ways.
While Brazil looks to the future:
"This legal limbo that (same-sex couples encounter) contributes to discrimination, even to the violent practices that have (been) seen in the news. It is the duty of the state to protect and duty of the court to give that protection if, somehow, it was not intended by the legislature," he said.
Boys and their toys.
The Chinese reaction.
Mexicans are marching to end the disastrous war on drugs. The problem with the drug war is obvious: The more the government cracks down on drugs, the more expensive they become which makes drug dealing more lucrative and attractive which makes the government want to crack down on it more and rinse and repeat. It makes it possible to realize enormous profits and not surprisingly, leads to significant corruption.
Not a bad investment at all! The beer is certainly worth it. Frankly though, I think that I would burn through the vouchers a bit faster than two years. Still, it's a good thing for people to consider. It's one of only two craft brewers in Pittsburgh and in my opinion, it's simply the best. To my knowledge, their beer is currently only available on tap. If they're able to expand, it'd be lovely if folks were able to buy bottles of it. I find those to be a bit more convenient than growlers.
Not that it's terribly significant but I gather that perhaps the least important presidential debate in history occurred last night. It's fun to pretend that the second-stringers participating actually have a snowballs chance. I for one am quite certain that America's place in the world would be restored forever, if only the pizza guy could run. I'd love to see slogans like: "Herman Cain: He'll cut the deficit like he cuts the peperoni!"
Vanity Fair spoofs it here. Really? Even John Boehner didn't bother tuning in?
How thoughtful! It turns out the end of the world is scheduled for a Saturday. Hopefully, most people will be able to find room for it on their calendars. Notably...
Another man was so perturbed by the May 21 message that he brought over a woman he found on the street who needed money. He asked whether the Camping followers would give her some cash, because there was no need for them to keep money with the world ending. They did not.
Always good for a laugh; Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is going to war against the dreaded, Yankee combo meal.
Another country confronted with the Yankee menace is of course; sunny Iran. Looks as though when they're not contending with the machinations of the "Great Satan", they're bedeviled by sorcerers. Frankly, this makes me feel a bit better about the world. Any government that actively pursues magicians is not a government that's going to have the scientific ability to craft nuclear weapons.
However, I see they're not the only one's dealing with an inquisition.
Looks like everyone's going to get some new neighbors. Quite a few of them in fact.
Theresa Bait: I still say we should have never scrapped the shuttle program. But anyways, here's something new. It seems like it's planned to be less of a space ship and more of an orbital freight car.
"Oh the humanity!"
