Don’t call him al Qaeda’s second-in-command anymore.
Ayman al-Zawahiri has just, in effect, announced that he is in charge of the terror network because Osama bin Laden is dead.
“Wait,” you say, “I have not read or heard of Bin Laden’s demise from any mainstream news source.”
That’s because mainstream journalists have no understanding of basic logic.
The official declaration that Mr. Bin Laden’s body has declined to cave-temperature came in two, apparently unrelated, sentences from Mr. Zawahiri’s latest audio release.

I must get confused easily. Flip-flopping back and forth between SF and Townhall Blog. Ah, well, I’ll get over it.
News of Osama’s death, when it happens will probably be well covered up. (may have already happened.

We can only hope.
I’ve been running an office pool on this guy’s demise for years. Did Mr. Zawahiri happen to mention when it happened?

Pushing up poppies is he? Very nicely put.
The #2 observation is quite well done as well.
Ironic boat…will that thing float?

Richard Pryor once observed that, of all the annoying events in life, few were worse than learning of the demise of a man who owed you money.
Make you feel like diggin’ him up an’ killin’ him all over again !
I have similar feeling about Osama Bin Rottin’ …

On his way to meet the 72 Virginians, I’d love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting

for those of us who remember 9/11, he’ll always be ‘Number 2′… and so will Mr. Bin Laden
Good line Scott. I didn’t catch that one at first.

Rusg just had an interesting question…Has anyone noticed what happened to the price of gasoline since the Democrat takeover in Nov. 2006?
Since I no longer drive….can anyone tell me what was the price of gas in Nov. 06? I’d like to know, as it might serve as a good talking point.

Abortion, one crime against children, there are others…
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 90,000 babies were physically abused or neglected and about 500 were killed in the United States in 2006, health officials said on Thursday.
Physical abuse included beating, kicking, biting, burning and shaking, and neglect included abandonment, maternal drug use or failing to meet basic needs like housing, food, clothing and access to medical care, according to the report — the first by the U.S. government focusing on maltreatment in the first year of life.
They are particularly troubling because children who suffer such abuse tend to go on to have numerous health and other problems, officials said.
14 boberinyetagain // Apr 3, 2008 at 2:33 pm
The report said 905,000 U.S. children of all ages were victims of maltreatment substantiated by government agencies during the 12 months studied.
hills wisdom, they’ve been around for some time now

Bober Re#13 &14: It seems the abuse of children has become common now that we’ve accepted that they are expendable. Over a million abortions in the US last year do not excuse mistreating the kids who made it past that hurdle, but it does refute the false argument put forth by pro-abortionists that killing “unwanted” children will stop child abuse. The opposite appears to be true.
17 boberinyetagain // Apr 3, 2008 at 3:38 pm
ga, actually my point is that there would be double that number w/o abortion.
Before we all “jump on boberin’s case” again, I personally don’t agree with abortion but I also admit that I’m unwilling to do anything meaningful to support those that could have been born w/o it. That being said, I cannot judge others choice in the matter. In fact, these stats seem to show that more should have chosen that option, not less
But that’s just me…I know that

If Bin Laden truly is deceased all I have to say is……
NEXT!?!!!!!

n,000,000 innocent deaths isn’t nearly enough.
2(n,000,000) would have been more efficient.
Do I hear 3(n,000,000)?
Extermination Camps, anyone?
Thank you

There’s three of my posts that have seemingly been absorbed into the ionosphere.
Rush says that there are a lot of people saying they will vote for B. Hussein Obama but when they get into the privacy of the voting booth, they won’t.
The DNC is so anxious to rid themselves of the Mafia ways of HillBilly, Inc. that they are willing to throw Obama under the bus, since McCain is a RINO; they can live with him for four or even eight year in exchange for getting their party back.

As popular as Bill Clinton was, there are definitely many influential democrats that are not supporting cHillary. It has to be their ruthlessness that is behind it. I took an internet poll the other day, I don’t know anything about who was doing the poll or what their political leanings might be, but in a race between Oh!bummer and Big John it was running something like BHO 44% to McLame’s 32%, now granted it is still very early, I was surprised by the results I saw. If any candidate ever manages to bring out the MTV vote, they would be very difficult to beat. He may stand to actually be the first one that accomplishes that feat. So many people are not pleased with The Arizona Wonder that it is plausible, I worry that we are getting more and more voters that are willing to vote for an openly left-leaning liberal promising tax hikes and bigger government to care for everyone’s everything imaginable. I think I heard it on Hugh Hewitt’s show that in 17 of the largest cities there is a graduation rate under 50%, and how many of the graduates are at grade level? How many have been fed a constant diet of anti-americanism and are too ignorant to be “allowed” to vote? It makes me think it isn’t very far down the road that America will cease to be anything of any importance. Our can-do spirit has been subverted by a why-do I have to spirit, or a won’t-do spirit. An in your face attitude toward God and/or morality. That isn’t the right stuff to trust the future of a nation to and will not allow for greatness. Outside of God’s grace and mercy, we are doomed. More folks worried about the NFL draft, etc. than what is going on in their country. Meanwhile, under a rock in a faraway dessert, Jihad Joe is scheming and hoping to go claim his “reward”, 72 virgins with non removable chastity belts? Now wouldn’t that be “hell”?

You know, if I were God, take a person such as Hitler, pure evil and rotten to the core, I would be tempted to clone them so as they could experience the torments of Hell twice as much. Good thing I ain’t the Almighty One, I would be awfully spiteful. Can you feel the love? Me neither…probably not the best attitude.

mkk #22 - I read somewhere that there is an error in translation. Instead of 72 virgins; corrected, it reads - “a 72 year old, virgin.” or in the words of Gomer Pyle, “Suprisc, suprise, suprise!”

Overnight, here in my neck of the woods, gas jumped ten cents to $3.259.
Man, did I ever give that pump an ear full.

Gas here is at $3.079, same as yesterday. I put $37.50 in my pickup and thought about how long that much would have lasted @.999/gallon. Hard to imagine a buck a gallon now.
