"Osama.. so glad you could make it for dinner tonight.."
Well.
The sun is shining just a little brighter today.
You know, I'm no huge fan of Barack Obama.
But. Give him credit - he did not shirk his responsibility. He accepted that there are, sometimes, things in this world which are black and white. Where wrong is wrong and right is right.
When credible information was received regarding the location of Osama Bin Laden, he gave the order to finish him.. to bring about his immediate demise.
And the Navy Seal black ops team did just that.
And, just as wisely, after confirming Bin Laden's identity through DNA examination, they put his body to sea. No martyr grave his - Bin Laden will for all eternity have a resting place that, fittingly, will be in the bellies of bottom feeders.
And I would prefer not to make some lame effort to color this most excellent news with some partisan spin.
I'll simply go vote today and would encourage others to do the same - as many have given their lives in the effort to secure freedom from despots like Bin Laden, Hitler, Stalin and their ilk.. and it would be great insult indeed to disregard that sacrifice by refusing to accept the great gift that they left us - the right to place your vote.
So go vote.
