Are you drunk? That's HILARIOUS!

It's nice to finally see some good news concerning Iraq and the war on terror. News programs and the like seem to only concentrate on the negative.

I've got People PMing me asking me to reopen this 'cause technically, it never got out of hand. So for now, I'm doing it. If Krang wants to close it himself however, I have no power over that.

Did anyone see the jokes about this on Conan tonight? I dunno what it was, but something about them felt... unsettling.

I know what it is now-- we shouldn't be laughing about someone's death, no matter how awful of a person they are. When I see the American people on TV cheering because a man was killed, I don't see it as a victory. Sure, the guy was a piece of crap; sure, a lot of people take solace in his death; but for people to cheer about it is not right-- it's certainly not being the "better man."

The cover of the New York Post today is completely despicable, and I suggest you check it out for yourself. It has another picture of the dead man's head, above which it reads "GOTCHA!" To the bottom right is a speech balloon that says "Warm up the virgins." An enemy of the state is an enemy of the state-- but this is mocking a man's (and an entire group of people's) religion and making light of his death (once again). When did supposedly legitimate news periodicals become so close to reading like tabloids?
