Apparently there were also documents and records seized from the Abbottabad compound, so we now have even more intel than we did before Sunday.

In minor news, I was glad to see confirmation from Betsy H-P that Abbottabad was named after some white guy named Abbott.

I guessed as much, since I'd heard it was a colonial station back in the day, but I'm strangely thrilled to see confirmation.

Aphrodisiac Restaurant

In Buenos Aires. Here are some menu items (translated into English).

• You Scream with Ecstasy While You Beg for Penetration
• Of Brazing Lips and Inflamed Desires
• I Tear Out Enjoyment from Your Warm Treasure with My Flaming Tongue
• You Indecently Drank the Eruption of My Pleasure

Huh. If I ever go to Buenos Aires, I'll have to check it out....

Tep, I hate Facebook. I have really enjoyed meeting friends' friends on it, but if it wouldn't cause major Drama, I'd rip it down and not look back. I never have any news anyway. I put up quotes from Moms Mabley and a Pembleton quote from Homicide up yesterday. "There's a darkness inside of you, Tim Bayliss..." Although that metaphor doesn't work perfectly...I'd never imagine Bin Laden bent over a straight-backed chair.

So it seems there's this big debate on Facebook over who would win in a fight: Batman or Jesus. [link]

The actual thread is pretty funny, but it's an image file so I can't cut and paste. But I liked this bit:

Ronald: I'm pretty sure with enough prep-time, Batman could beat the shit out of Jesus.

Julie: @ronald: That's not really funny.

Ronald: Never said it was. Batman's sacrifice for the people of Gotham isn't a laughing matter.

I Tear Out Enjoyment from Your Warm Treasure with My Flaming Tongue

If my Warm Treasure could talk, it would be saying, "oh the hell no" to the flames and the tearing.

So one thing Republicans have been trying to do to put spin on the Bin Laden thing is to assert that torture (under the Bush administration) got us the info we needed.

Sullivan addresses this falsehood: The Big Lie: Torture Got Bin Laden

eta: In this case, we got false information from torture. Good old-fashioned investigations (without torture) got the name of the courier which was the big break in the case.

So I'm at my migraine specialist, and it seems they can't find the appointment. The specifics aren't typical, but the frustration is.
