I feel surprisingly reluctant to cheer about someone's death, despite having supported the hunt for him for ten years. But I hope this results in less carnage in Afghanistan rather than more, and ultimately lessens the need for us to maintain a military presence there.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
And some of the far right people I know are starting in with " very scared about retaliations."

I'm not sad or distraught about his death, but not so sure it will make much difference. but then I don't subscribe to the pure great man theory of history.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You are a good person, Matt. I am not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would very much like the statement to be : " and that's how we do it in Chicago, motherfucker. Joe, tell 'em how it went down."
Hee.
I'm not unconcerned about retaliation, myself.
But I think I need to go to bed. Let me know what the Pres actually says....

The status is NOT quo.
Wow. Big news. I expected to be happy, but I think the past decade has just run me down so much that I'm too tired.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Erin, for all that the technology changes, I'm not really sure that fundamental human nature does.

This. Although I also like to think of it as a belated birthday present for one of my oldest friends, who lost her high school sweetheart to that maniac. Hopefully this will bring some sort of closure for her and all those who lost a loved one on September 11th.
