They are growing....
D.C., Times Square, Ground Zero.... It reaffirms my faith, how ever little, that we might have some hope yet.  |

I would really have like to seen two things on the Presidents speech.......
1) What a damn good opportunity to work the "BOOM, Headshot" phrase into a speech and 2) As he was nearing the end of the corridor, after his speech, with his back to the camera, just jump up and click his heels the turn off camera...... |

In all seriousness, though, I think the American psyche was seriously damaged on 9/11. Families were ruined. Suicides skyrocketed. Divorces skyrocketed.
This was like a cloud being lifted from the USA. I mean, FUCK.....the barracks in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia....Mogadishu(?)....the US Embassy bombings in Africa....the USS Cole...the '93 WTC bombing....and finally, the "Big One".....9/11. This guy has been mind fucking Americans for almost a generation. I say tonight's celebration is well deserved. I tip my hat to the men who are doing shit like this Operation to keep my children safe. They got bigger balls than me. |

There was a South Asian guy of some type,couldn't tell if he was Indian,Pakistani or Arab of some stripe but he was screaming about kicking ass. I'm going to high-5 everyone I see tomorrow in celebration. Seriously,how cool would it be if we all just took tomorrow to show that regardless of the bullshit we tend to heap on each other,for the most part we're fucking awesome and have a cause to be glad for. I'm going to do it to all my European friends too- I mean,there are Czechs,Poles and Estonians in Afghanistan so they can join in as well. It's not just a victory for America,it's for the entire wourld that doesn't want to live in a world of hatred and ignorance. I understand why we have to treat his remains with proper Islamic traditions and that nonsense because while I'd just as soon feed it to wild hogs,we're better than that. What's going to be great is when it starts leaking out just how high up he'd been protected the past decade by the Pakis. Don't fucking tell me he and his crew were hiding out in a mansion and nobody knew... |

With all the BS lies and deceptions of the last couple of years, I can't help but think this was all staged and they were bussed in.
See how cynical this fuckstick in the White House made me? On any other day there'd be thousands of union workers protesting these people trying to rip the American flags out of their hands. I'm surprised half these kids even know who OBL is. With that being said, I'm glad the bastards dead. There are almost 7 billion people on planet Earth but only 1 can claim "I put a bullet in bin Ladens head". He's got some bragging rights for sure. I'm still waiting for the protesters to show up screaming about the senseless killing of a harmless, feeble old man. Julian Assange will be outraged at another ruthless assassination plot by the US, Nancy Pelosi is in mourning, and Obama's making sweet love to himself right now while the lonely wookie waits to be allowed back into bed. There won't be any room though, you can't fit Obama, the Wookie, and his bloated ego in the same bed, it'll collapse. |

There were thousands of students downtown in State College, PA (where Penn State is) celebrating the fact that Osama is dead. People were waving flags, lighting off fireworks and chanting USA and F#ck Osama among other things. I left about an hour ago to study for finals but I'm positive people are still out there.

I am moved by the reaction of all of those college kids in front of The White House. Thousands of young, proud Americans, spontaneously filling Lafayette park. Singing pro American songs, waving flags and praising our warriors. These are mostly college kids. I see hope in this generation.

I watched several interviews from the crowd and nobody, not one, mentioned Obama. I saw a lot of flags and even a couple of Bush-Cheney signs. I know that college kids will never pass a chance to have a party, but these kids were sincerely proud of their country and their military. |

Well, I won't argue signs of national pride but let me ask this:
How is this symbol of national pride different from the crowds at the royal wedding (if one slashed down that)? __________________________________________________________ ("Storm the castle walls and lay down your very lives!"––Robin to his Merry men, (w,stte), skit, "Don Kershner's Rock Concert") |
