May fundraiser begins; Obama to claim credit for any money raised [MONDAY UPDATE; sticky; newer posts appear below]

Well. Now that the $27 million reward I was counting on is off the table, it’s back to my original mode of financing. A shame, too. I was hoping to use the bounty to finance an off-Broadway production of “Prayer of the Rollerboys,” as well as to commission a 50′ Corey Haim sculpture — tentatively titled, “Corey Befriends a Stray Border Collie and Feeds it Peyote, then He and Seth

Now that Osama bin Laden is dead

…will Obama finally pay for my gas and mortgage? Tick tock, my brother. Tick tock.*

"Rewind: In Bush Years, Killing of Iraqi al-Qaeda Leader Zarqawi Greeted by Media Scowls"

To borrow from Flannery O’Connor, this is as natural to the mainstream media as breathing. But they’re misreading us. And that’s because at some point they really began to believe the “reality” they’ve been trying to create — one in which Obama is a competent statesman beloved by his subjects, and if the GOP would just go away, the Won would help usher us in to an Utopian age of

"Cheney's assassination squad just killed bin Laden"

Mark Hemingway: Under Bush, JSOC was routinely smeared by the left and placed at the center of many Bush/Cheney conspiracy theories.

Without any legal authority for

"Sea burial of Osama bin Laden breaks sharia law, say Muslim scholars"

To which protein wisdom replies, “carrying out a plot that involves flying commercial airliners stuffed with US civilians into US buildings stuffed with even more US civilians means you’ve surrendered all claims to moral indignation — and in fact, you should be goddamn happy that when we jettisoned bin Laden’s rigid corpse into the drink we didn’t first tuck his dead ass into a pigskin scuba suit and braid his

"Bin Laden's Death Climaxes Decade of Detective Work"

The intelligence that led to bin Laden’s death came from Club Gitmo. Is all we need say to the “progressives” pretending toward triumphalism today. Or better still, just kinda smile and thank them for giving us President Obama, the military genius who began his campaign to assassinate Osama bin Laden a decade ago while a member of the Illinois State Senate — eventually settling on a plan that made deadly

The "When Osama bin Laden died" haiku

When Osama bin Laden died, seventy-two virgins crossed their legs.

"The Secret Team That Killed bin Laden"

Marc Ambinder, in a National Journal exclusive: Were it not for this high-value target, it might have been a routine mission for the specially trained and highly mythologized SEAL Team Six, officially called the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, but known even to the locals at their home base Dam Neck in Virginia as just DevGru. This HVT was special, and the raids required practice, so they replicated the one-acre
