It'd be one positive note in a horrible tragedy, but it sure would get the fundies pumped.

1. How would we know ? This sounds a whole lot like that old parable...

If a tree falls in the forest...etc.etc...

3. well...

clearly his current batch of #3 Men (the ones we haven't caught yet) would try to cover it up.

"Mr. bin Laden has decided to release animated cartoons of himself to al-Jazeera instead..."

4. Omigod.

:rofl:

2. don't worry

Don't worry. Bush will probably still be able to splice together enough old videos of him to present the next threat.

5. If it did, and any of his cohorts survived, he is in the ground by now

Rolled in a sheet, dropped in a hole, and covered up.

They don't waste time, they do it quick.

6. Sorry

All I can think of is all of those working people, those HUMAN BEINGS who just got killed because their houses are made of MUD, dammit, MUD, some of whom work for pennies per day to support the insatiable American need for little skiddy sticky things that go on the bottom of your FREAKIN BATHTUB because the corporatists have decided that people living in mud huts mean the difference between a dollar's profit and a dollar-one's. :rant:

Odds are, the 6'6" Arab with the portable dialysis machine was tucked tidily away in some warren of some cave with 19-to-the-32nd exits.

I thought the VERY same thing. And I'm ashamed of myself.

7. Just followed the link

Somebody needs to tell DailyKos that one of the diarists has just gone all Bill Bennett. And I quote:

" How hysterical would it be if this recent earthquake killed Osama Bin Laden."

I can't tell ten cents worth of difference between that sick filth and what Bingo Billy said.

We're Progressives. No Passes.

8. well

technically "hysterical" is not synonymous with "funny," nor does it have connotations of humor in its purest form, although I do get your point.

9. I concur.

I have noted that just because somebody posts on DailyKos, it does not really give them any Liberal credentials.

One of the people attacking the late Andy Stephenson was an obnoxious pretend liberal who called himself "Anonymous Army". Every time you told him that he was no Liberal, he hauled out his Kos blog as though that proved something.

The Andy saga brought out quite a few homophobic pretend liberals.
