Osama Bin Laden

I have been reading various comments regarding the termination of Bin Laden.  The sqawking that is making me the most crazy centers around the idea that he should have been captured and brought to trial.  People are suggesting that the premise of justice in our country specifies that one is innocent until proven guilty.  I have just a couple of thoughts about that and this particular terrorist.

Bin Laden admitted his guilt so there wasn't any need to prove his guilt.  Where exactly would one find a "jury of his peers"?  I am pretty sure if we knew where they were they wouldn't be available for a court date.  Where would you go to find someone who has never heard or read about Bin Laden?  How could you possibly imprison Bin Laden?  Some kooky bunch of terrorists would kidnap some hostages and then want to negotiate his release and the US doesn't negotiate with terrorists.

Seriously, folks need to get a grip on the fact that sometimes there are circumstances outside the norm and there is no playbook.  There is a war on terror...or so the Bush administration tried to tell us.  In war people get killed.  It isn't pretty and it isn't "fair".  It's war.  Our government did what needed to be done.

Here's what I am thinking today

Just because you can make something using burlap doesn't mean you should.  I'm just saying...

Dear Ms. Palin

Please just be quiet.  I am asking nicely.  When you speak you either sound like you have no sense or you say something so bizarre it is scary.

Thank you for your time,

I can't believe I FORGOT to post about this!

Too bad SF Giants beat the Phillies but just knowing the Rangers are going to the World Series makes me happy.  That's it.  Nothing else earth shattering that I am thinking about. 

Wait!  That's not true.  I am thinking about bed bugs and the fact that they are in lots of places in NY city.  Eeewww.  Philadelphia has them, too.  I am not leaving Womelsdorf.  We don't have a hotel, motel or movie theatre.  I feel safe...

Trounced them!!

I went to bed very early last night so I didn't hear anything about the Yankees/Rangers game until this morning on my way into work.  I nearly wrecked the car!! Doing the dance of joy here!

(Sorry, Chad & Brian - your mama loves you but you KNOW how she feels about the Yankees!!)

At the risk of annoying my sons

Go Texas Rangers! Put on your big boy underwear and beat those darned Yankees!!  (And, yes, this probably has more to do with Alex Rodriguez than anything else.  I just can't forgive him for lying to Mariner's fans.)

It's midnight and

there is one of these in my bedroom















Can you say "eeewwwuuu"?  I loathe stink bugs.  Ugly, prehistoric, creepy little bugs.

Think I will get much sleep tonight?
