Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

“Not dead yet!”

I know. Plus I'm waiting impatiently for wacky Republican reactions.

My favorite so far has been on FB where someone is claiming that not all GOP are conspiracy theorists but that Obama is running the country into the ground and hates the military.

buzzah?

Pakistan claims no knowledge of OBL's whereabouts.

Oh, Pakistan!

I know. Plus I'm waiting impatiently for wacky Republican reactions.

The comments on the online version of one of our local news stations are so foaming-at-the-mouth insane that I can't even. I knew it would be like that, and yet I went and looked anyway. I guess I had to make sure it would be as bad as I thought. Sometimes I never want to leave my town. It's scary out there.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

“Not dead yet!”

One of our local news anchors was on a flight from Detroit to Seattle when the pilots announced that everyone should watch the TVs and they turned on the TV service for everyone. He was on the flight with a 9/11 widow who apparently burst into tears and the entire cabin was comforting her. He said it was one of the most extraordinary things he's ever seen. Also that it was beyond eerie to be hearing the announcement of Bin Laden's death while on a plane.

He said, too, that everyone shook the many servicemen/women's hands as they left the plane.

Oh, and best part? He tweeted specifically to his bosses that the 9/11 widow declined to be interviewed for tonight's news and he wouldn't press her. That from him, she'd get peace.

I can't say I'm unhappy that Bin Laden is gone, but I am, like others here, worried about retaliation.

Thanks, Maria. So Burn Notice isn't very accurate. Who would have guessed?
