Bin Laden Dead?

Concentration Camp or Thunderdome

I described her earlier as "that woman in the back who looks like she's kind of into whatever is on screen, but I've read too much Ballard"

I think I have a crush on Audrey Tomason

Maybe if you wrote her a song... We could all help out on the lyrics.

Is that "apocalypse equation" thing for real? Holy fuck if so.

i really hope the republicans pick up the sorcha faal story and run with it.

Is that "apocalypse equation" thing for real? Holy fuck if so.

considering it's a cross between Mad Max, Atlas Shrugged and "A Modest Proposal"...

Obama will not release photos of Bin Laden sleeping with the fishes.

LOL. Ignore the other cut and paste crap (work self-assessments).

academic intel leak

I smell utility data

i think i've seen a pic? it was gross and i could have done without it. nothing will appease the deathers, it'll only lead to demands for the helmet-cam footage to come out, and im not sure what there is to gain by officially releasing it.

don't dj
don't be a dj
don't even post the word on the internet

matter fact, if ur a dj (don't answer this, btw; that's a no-no) just throw away yr decks right now.

The photos, or at least one, have been shown to at least one journalist now, no? He described it quite, uhm, vividly on the radio. Very nagl...

White House now seems to think: if they don't believe us now, they won't believe the photos are for reals either, so sod it iirc

Can we call them "death-eaters?"

The local cable-news station did person-on-the-street interviews w/ "Do you feel safer now?" and the general response was "Ehhh, not really"

It's kind of a feeling you get when you have an ex-stalker who doesn't really stalk you anymore, but they move to another city so you feel a little relief anyway.

I mean, or so the people I've stalked have told me.

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!!

A Texas high school teacher has been placed on administrative leave following an incident where he allegedly told a 9th grade Muslim girl in his algebra class "I bet that you're grieving" on Monday following the death of Osama bin Laden.

According to one parent at Clear Brook High School in Houston who spoke about the incident to a local ABC affiliate, the teacher also said, "I heard about your uncle's death."

The parent said the student "understood that he was referring about Osama bin Laden being killed and was racially profiling her."

The name of the alleged victim of the comment has not been released. She is being described as an "American-born girl of Muslim faith."

ffs

does anyone mind if we kill him?

That's a whole different sort of American exceptionalism. That teacher's an exceptional asshole.

jesus christ

The parent said the student "understood that he was referring about Osama bin Laden being killed and was racially profiling her."

i am sorry, but, lol at this phrase sort of leaving its intended context.

Yeah, its off-use is making me think of something Ronnie Dobbs or Kenny Powers would yell at the cameras as he was being led away in handcuffs

high school teachers are the lowest of the low. they're the ones we should be going after.

(of course i don't mean anyone here who is a high school teacher or anyone who knows a high school teacher that they like. just everyone else.)

I wouldn't even say that to a friend as a joke

well actually I might say that to jjj but he is almost 40 and could likely kick my ass

is that "thesis" thing real? obv the "sustained population center" part is a great idea but not sure if genocide would be the preferred way to get there

have we really gotten to the point where blatantly obvious satire that shamelessly rips off several sources needs to be interrogated for its veracity

haha obv it's not :(

^^this, far and away

Ugh I have to keep translating these things into English. I had to explain to someone why "encourage" is a better word than "incentivize."

because you can't forget that 'z' isn't really a letter that should be used if you use 'encourage'

People really think that using buzzwords or more "complex" words excessively makes them sound professional, although I have no idea why.

If you're in the corporate world, everything becomes a verb, eventually!

This is academia.

u mean every word corporates, surely

this is for mh

Given her subsequent career path, I guess she didn't stick around for his talk.

I was reading the original 'utility data' post, and giggling like crazy when they were using to caption Star Wars stills...I'm at the library at my college, so I'm p sure I turned into 'that guy' for a few minutes...

that article is hilarious

"'goaty'-style"

"We have no independent confirmation of Osama bin Laden being there or dying there except what we got from the daughter," said the official, a member of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency.

The official said that based on interviews with the daughter and others in the house Pakistani authorities now believe that bin Laden had been living in the Abbottabad compound for "some months.
