I just heard that Bin Laden has been buried at sea.
Crab food. I love it.

Call me a cynic, but "buried at sea in accordance with Islamic law"?
What's that about? It's OK, you can trust us, we're from the
Government. Where's the "parade the corpse down main street" party
like we'd all expect? Just too convenient. And where is Hillary
during all of this, I wonder...

If they'd included pig entrails in the canvas sack, would anybody know?
It only works if you believe it, and the only people who believe it
would be hopping mad even if they were formerly those peaceable Muslims
that get talked about (possibly with a smirk) every once in a while.

I want to see photos. I want to see the videos that were undoubtedly
shot during the operation. Frankly, good news like this at the start of
a campaign -- without any evidence that we the great unwashed can see
except word of mouth from anonymous sources -- is less than totally
credible.
"Photos too gory?" Get real, anybody who watches the special effects
guys outdo themselves every week on 'Bones' will have NO problems. If
it ain't got worms crawling out of half-empty eye sockets, it ain't shit.

"The Pentagon has said the body was treated in accordance with
traditional Islamic procedures--including washing the corpse--before
it was placed in the waters of the northern Arabian Sea."
How special is that. On the other hand,
"The sea burial "runs contrary to the principles of Islamic laws,
religious values and humanitarian customs," Sheik Ahmed al-Tayeb, the
grand Imam of Cairo's al-Azhar mosque, told the AP."
Well now, that's more like it.

I heard a better version today:
The guy was expecting 72 virgins, and instead he got 24 Virginians.
