U-S-A

Sometimes things are just weird. True story. Last week, for unknown reasons, it occurred to us that we hadn't heard much (anything, actually) lately on the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Then on Friday, Time Magazine arrived in our mailbox with a cover story on Our Fight against terror. And then this morning, just before 5 AM, we read that Bin Laden had finally met his deserved demise. But it was how we read it. We had clicked on Our Wife's iPhone and tapped the Phillies app to get a score from last night's game against the Mets. (We went to bed when it was 0-0.) We saw the Phillies had lost, but there was something in the headline about the loss being "secondary." Our first thought was someone (someone BIG) must have gotten seriously hurt. Since he was pitching, Cliff Lee was our first thought. One tap later and we read that during the game it had been announced that the US had killed Bin Laden. So we learned about Navy Seals killing the most evil man in the world by reading a game story on the Phillies.

Weird. Really weird.

A few randoms:

1. It would seem that clearly Pakistan was NOT doing all that it could to help us! Good gawd, man, he was living in the middle of a suburb. Surely people in Pakistan had to know this.

2. Ironic that we all assumed he had sacrificed The Good Life in his crusade against the US and was living in a cave in the middle of nowhere! No, he was "holed up" in a multi-million dollar palace.

3. President Obama is gettng glorified today! And he does deserve a lot of credit. However, he only did what was right. Compare that to Bill Clinton. Roughly 12 years ago, he had a clear shot to kill the Bin Laden. But he pu$$ied out and called off the operation. Had he manned up, perhaps 9/11 never would have happened.

4. W started the crusade against Bin Laden! And he kept us safe after 9/11.

It's always a great day to be an American. Today, it's just a little better than normal.
