Even if they put bin Laden's head on a pike outside the WH, conspiracy theorists would still claim he was alive. It's his brother's/son's head! After all, do we really know what he looked like?! The crazy cannot be appeased.

ION, microbes from Earth did not survive on the moon for two and a half years, as was commonly reported. Moon Microbe Mystery Finally Solved

On Nov. 19, 1969, Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean made a precision landing on the lunar surface in Oceanus Procellarum, Latin for the Ocean of Storms. Their touchdown point was a mere 535 feet (163 meters) from the Surveyor 3 lander -- and an easy stroll to the hardware that had soft-landed on the lunar terrain years before, on April 20, 1967.

The Surveyor 3 camera was easy pickings and brought back to Earth under sterile conditions by the Apollo 12 crew. When scientists analyzed the parts in a clean room, they found evidence of microorganisms inside the camera.

In short, a small colony of common bacteria -- Streptococcus Mitis -- had stowed away on the device.

...

"The claim that a microbe survived 2.5 years on the moon was flimsy, at best, even by the standards of the time," said John Rummel, chairman of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Panel on Planetary Protection. "The claim never passed peer review, yet has persisted in the press -- and on the Internet -- ever since." [Coolest New Moon Discoveries]

The Surveyor 3 camera-team thought they had detected a microbe that had lived on the moon for all those years, "but they only detected their own contamination," Rummel told SPACE.com.

Gud, your link is broken but considering where it's supposed to go I'm ok with that.

I mis-pasted. The big news there is still the birth certificate. I was hoping to see some clever negative spin on OBL news.

"But there’s nothing I would have done differently… except I would have sent one more helicopter to rescue the hostages."

Help me! I'm going to a dating thing this afternoon and I need to bring a list of personal qualities - "How my friends would describe me". Right now, everything I have sounds so cliche. Ideas?

I also have to come up with a list of what I want in a guy. I think I have this under control even if it does feel pretty generic.

If you feel a little chilly, it's perhaps because hell just froze over:

“President Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East. He did not scrub the mission to get Bin Laden. In fact, it may be that President Obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off. You see, the military wanted to go in there and bomb as they always do. They wanted to drop missiles and drop bombs and a number of totally destructive techniques here. But President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the Special Forces. No one else thought of that. President Obama. Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser, not a single military adviser came up with the idea of using SEAL Team 6 or any Special Forces.”

Rush. Limbaugh.

I don't think cliche is the worst thing in the world, if it's all true, at least.... Have you described yourself as kick-ass yet?

At my job, it's evaluation season, and I've been going around talking about how it doesn't matter and is all bullshit and etc., and then I get down to it, and it turns out the "pretty good, but could be better" rating is 2 of 5! I can't give anyone that, even though the description is fair. Ah well. It doesn't matter and is bullshit!
