- When I was young, I once asked my buddies when Cinco de Mayo was going to be that year. Sadly, I wasn't that young.
- If we really did seize the computer stuff from Bin Laden's compound (10 hard drives, 5 computers, and over 100 external storage drives), I'd love to be the guy who gets to go through them. (Assuming I knew Arabic and was an encryption expert.)
- Watch it just be episodes of Southpark and the Jack Ass movie series.
- The Messenger reports a second Tea Party has formed in Wise County. This one is in Bridgeport and formed by a Hispanic who wants to dispel the notion that the party is full of racists. Directly under the quote is an unrelated picture of a guy in a sombrero.
- Speaking of movies, the three top grossing films so far this year are named Rango, Hop, and Rio. I'm guessing they are kids' movies, but I honestly have no idea.
- Mavs up 2-0 over the Lakers? My prediction is in trouble, but they were up 2-0 over the Heat in the Championship Game a few years back. Still not a believer.
- If you turned on the TV at 3:44 a.m. this morning, you would have seen the end of a Major League Baseball game. Edit: Oops. Make that 1:44 a.m.
- UNT is trying to revamp its image and has hired a consulting firm to help. That's an easy fix: Bring back the 1970s neon green flying worm emblem.
- Mrs. LL returned the confiscated soccer balls to the Neighbor Boys yesterday. I bet they thought it was like the Grinch returning to Hooville with the presents.
- Three U.S. Senators public ally announced they had seen the dead Bin Laden photo when they had actually seen a fake Internet one. Makes you feel confident in their judgment, doesn't it?
- Pippa Middleton really giving it the What For on the dance floor.
- Star-Telegram fluff piece on Trophy Club today quotes a resident as saying, "Here I can get anywhere I want to go in 15 to 20 minutes." I guess that's true if he only wants to go to Grapevine.
- Rick Perry is still whining about the feds denying disaster relief for the Texas wildfires. It might have something to do with the fact Perry included 252 counties in the request (yep, even Wise is in there.)
- Of all the books that will be written about the invasion of the Bin Laden compound, I hope Jon Krakauer writes one.

When I look at young firm wet large melon laden women all I can think of is lawyers and child support.
BG, lets do some math, if the game ended at 2:45 am EST, it is what time in Dallas? Do we need to consult the 2nd grader in the house?
I am a Republican, but I place some of the blame concerning the Distaster Aid for PK at both the governor and the Obama administration.
We have a Governor who is running all over the country and making this state a joke by talking about secession and other things. He is too concerned that he might run for President to actually run this state.
On the other hand, we have an Adminstration in DC who is so thin-skinned and vindictive that they would deny aid to the people affected by this disaster just because they don't like the governor of the state.
Are you sure that it was not 1:44 am here since it was 2:44 eastern time.

She is pretty.
Just remember the last time they blew a 2-0 lead they were going on the road. This time they are coming back home. MAVERICKS!!!!!
Obama must think he's protecting us...however, we did see Saddam Hussein's hanged body via released secreted photos, and his sons' bullet riddled bodies...wait, President Bush let those go out for all to see.
I didn't know Messkins drank tea, but that's ALL we need- a bunch of Messkins with a political agenda.

"Watch it just be episodes of Southpark and the Jack Ass movie series."

Rage,
Gitmo....It worked. We need your explanation. You know so much. Come on.
"Three US Senators public ally announced they had seen the dead Bin Laden photo when they had actually seen a fake Internet one. Makes you feel confident in their judgment, doesn't it?"
Uh- no, but your point is a good reminder of how much trouble this country is in.
You are absolutely correct on your Krakauer assessment with my strong second choice being Mark Bowden.
BG and Anon 9:51, I'd throw in Steve Coll into the mix of authors. He wrote a book called "Ghost Wars" which was about US clandestine operations and the blow back in South Asia. It's good and it will drive you insane. George Packer, James Fallows and Robin Wright would also do a fine job.
Dogpile the blog host!
"...finally finished at 2:45 a.m. on the East Coast."
You know how they always promo network shows by saying "8/7 Central"? It's like that, already an hour later there, chief
If we're placing bets on what bin Laden's computer had on it, I'm gonna go with Every Hugh Jackman piece of junk ever made - he just looks like THAT kinda guy. Oh, and the movie Babe (forbidden, uh...fruit, so to speak)

PS I'm alternating betwen head scratching and face palming: is he aware there are only 254 counties in our beloved Lone Star State?!?
Rick Perry is an ass and a royal jerk !!! enough said.
9:08...The photos you mention were press photos and had nothing to do with photos taken by CIA or our military. Bush did not control those photos. I still can't understand why we can't celebrate our victories and mourn our losses as Americans instead of liberals and conservatives. Even though I am very conservative, I was very very proud of Obama's decision and the actions taken by our military. To infer Bush had stopped looking for bin Laden based on several of the quotes here are downright misleading. The context of that quote was he had stopped obsessing about bin Laden. As president, he realized he could not focus that much attention on one person but at no time was it not a top priority to find him. Bush has not stepped forward to take one ounce of credit for this even though obviously, actions taken during his presidency had to contribute to his capture. He has done a great job of stepping aside and letting Obama run his presidency, unlike that goofy Jimmy Carter.
She has stretch marks on her hip. That's a deal breaker.
10:13-CNN reported that all but 2 counties in Texas were affected by the fires.
I think it's a shame that the President won't help us. Those of you who think Perry is in the wrong for seeking help obviously have never been a victim of a fire.
People here spend enough time on this blog. How about you spend the same amount educating yourself before you post?
They won't show the photo because Usama was pistol whipped before he was shot.
Hey Barry - you need to start a topic of conversation about the Jeffery Dean - plugged in parenting offered by DISD tonight. Info is posted on website and peoples FB. You might also mention about the little girl that recently checked out of school because of the way she was bullied at the middle school. She checked out after the fight at Subway - Hum?
So sombreros are racist? Which hats should be banned from people wearing them? Cowboy hats? The Fuzzy Hats the royal guards wear? Ski masks?
Im of Mexican descent, guess what... Mexicans do in fact wear sombreros...
Without water boarding there would be no dead Osama. What was one of Obama's first actions as President? He stopped water boarding.
Bush's plan to catch bin laden:
Chase around Afghanistan for a year or so and then invade Iraq and start a war that would last for years. This would throw bin Laden off and lull him into a false sense of security thus making it easier for the next president to catch him.
Uncle Wally
What is Obammy thinking that we can't stand to see one sandnigger with a hole in his head. show me the photos and if it's too bad I wont look.
Wally, you actually get partial credit for your comment. Bush set things in place to make it easier to catch (or uh, "eliminate") bin Laden.
I went waterboarding at lake Bridgeport yesterday. Just sayin'....
I'd take Pippa over that other horse ANY DAY. But then again what do I know, I'm not a prince....
Girls like that will let you pull their hair.
"Bush set things in place to make it easier to catch (or uh, "eliminate") bin Laden."
Sure. If you mean in the sense that he ignored warnings that Bin Laden was going to attack so he could plan the Iraq war, then was in office when 9/11 occurred. Yeah, bush helped get things started.
Rage
11:21 She checked out because she was required to go to Alternative school for attacking the other girl. The victim did not. Get your bullies straight!
For those guys slamming the RTD girl for having a few stretch marks on her hips can just go back to their supermodel girlfriends named "Rosie". That girl is smoking hot. I would hook up with her any day. Thanks for finally giving us a great looking girl. Been a rough stretch for a while now. Thanks again.
Well, let's see, this ought to be pretty easy to figure out...eight years of the Clinton administration put a system in place where agencies didn't talk to each other (aka "the Wall" - see "Gorelick, Jamie") which led to the 9/11 attacks, and eight years of the Bush administration put a system in place where prisoners were apprehended, interrogated, and information obtained that led to bin Laden. In the last several years, Obama condemned, and Democrats called for criminal prosecution of, CIA operatives for obtaining that information.
All that "we moved to Trophy Club for this and that" is almost always simply codespeak for "we moved to where there are nearly all white people like us".
Ask someone from Mensa to name the fourth movie....
Rage - just "accept what you can't change" meaning broken record Wordy. He'd defend Bush if he were the anti-christ - blah blah blah (sources, here and there, etc)....... That's what rabid conservatives do.
Rage cage, I still haven't seen your retraction on saying waterboarding didn't help in killing OBL. But most liberal weenies hate facts except for when they make up their own. I have never once seen you answer a straight question with a straight answer. Why change now?
While it is not an established fact that waterboarding led to the nickname of the courier, it is a fact, all joking aside, that the CIA and others have worked dilligently for both Bush and Obama. Their hard work led to the execution of bin Laden. Obama made a risky choice that could have backfired if things went wrong. I believe Bush would have made exactly the same decision. I am as guilty as anyone of politicizing this but we should all put politics aside on this one.
Uncle Wally
Had only one conversation with that messcan tea party guy and he was telling me how damm sorry every every person from the state of Zacateca was.Wonder if he tells his mexican friends the same thing?
I'm the white guy that gives you the hateful look in the cafe.
7:12, it didn't help. The information that we got leading to Bin Laden was obtained months if not years after KSH was waterboarded. It was obtained during the course of regular questioning. No waterboarding, no needles under the fingernails, no pliers to the balls. Just a few questions, asked repeatedly over time.
John McCain says torture doesn't work, and he even lived through it.
It would sure be easier to have conversations with people like you if you would learn to read.
wordkyle, if the Clinton Administration was dropping the ball so badly, why did they had Bush a memo entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack the US"?
Keep up that dishonesty though. Your fellow freepers will listen to you no matter how wrong you are. And boy, you are really wrong.
Y'all know that all of this attention on Obama would have blown over by now if you Tea Party retards weren't keeping it in the news by trying to discredit him with killing Osama in two years when Bush couldn't do it in seven, right? But I guess that's not a fair comparison, since Bush said several times he didn't even care about getting Osama. Man, I guess Bush didn't care about those people murdered on 9/11. Talk about soft on terrorism!
Rage
Usama received EXTREME enhanced interrogation, resulting in EXTREME facial disfigurement before being shot. Computer facial recognition failed. Usama's DNA was not in the database. They compared his to his relatives, which is always below 99.9% conclusive. Who they say was Usama could always be a relative of Usama.
A quick mini-lesson in history is appropriate here. First, here's the actual August 6, 2001 memo that keeps getting mentioned. Remember, Bill Clinton was President until January of 2001.
When you actually read the memo, it's easier to see the points it makes:
1. It starts off by saying that bin Ladin had wanted to attack the US since 1997.
2. It states that bin Ladin prepared attacks "years in advance." (Hello, Clinton administration!)
3. Regarding anything to do with airplanes, this exact quote: "We have not been able to corroborate some of the more sensational threat reporting, such as that from a [redacted] service in 1998 saying that bin Ladin wanted to hijack a US aircraft to gain the release of "Blind Shaykh" 'Umar 'Abd al-Rahman and other US-held extremists." Note that it mentions using the hijacked aircraft as bargaining chips, not as missiles. This tactic would be consistent with hijackings since the 1970s.
So essentially, the memo says "Bin Ladin still wants to attack the US, just as he has for years." Since they create their own reality which has little to do with the real world, Liberals survive on the fervent hope that people don't check actual history. That's why they're in such a hurry to rewrite it.
More dishonesty from wordkyle. Clinton had been pursuing Osama and setting him up for Bush to get. Bush refused to even try.
If there was unconfirmed intelligence out there, why didn't Bush try to confirm it? Bush ignored the transition team's warnings so he could continue plans to attack Iraq, without provocation and without evidence, just like he ended up doing as soon as he could after 9/11 interrupted his plans. He abandoned Afghanistan to go to Iraq, causing the needless deaths of American soldiers by invading in the first place, and in drawing down troop strength in Afghanistan.
Keep up those lies, wordkyle. They get funnier the more desperate you get.
Rage
For those of you who can read, make up your own minds.
Pretty funny post wordkyle, considering that your "sources" make up your mind.
Hysterical!
"Sources" ?? Are those air quotes or what?
Usama's EXTREME enhanced interrogation was to get him to tell the locations of Anwar and Ayman.
