Aye. Remember, this is an important historical event, but we still have to be respectful. But goodness, what a Sunday.

If anyone is interested in watching President Obama discuss it, you can stream live from whitehouse.gov. The address has not started yet, however. Anyone else watching/reading any good sources?

I know, it's fantastic! Long overdue, but welcome news.

You know what I would really like to do? Forget him. Skip the movies, the books, the half-assed psychological analyses, ect. I hate how the press has, and will, glorify this stooge with attention. Twenty years from now, when someone references bin laden, I'm hoping the average teenager will respond: "who?"

VirtualWeasal is right. This is really perfect timing, sort of gives the rebels in the middle east an incentive to push forward I guess.

Good news to the U.S. too. Al-Qaeda will probably die down a lot now. Maybe less Airport security?

(sorry I'll shhh)

I've really been alive just knowing that Osama was a main cause of death and war in the world. I still can't believe he's dead :shock:

So... What of the war now? Is it going to end? Is Al Qaeda going to crumble?

I think this justifies me not going to work tomorrow. Right, right? Eh?

...no? Oh, well. What a great moment to watch. History is a glorious thing.

No. Nothing crumbles like sand. We shall see what happens, but I have good faith now.
