Some Hump Day Reading

Here's a Washington Post article about how it's time to face facts, the Republicans are the problem. It was co-written by a conservative and a liberal, and I couldn't agree with it more (obviously).

Here's this story from deadspin, which I am completely obsessed with, yet have no idea what it's about or what is going on. And here's an update on the story. There's going to be a lot more to come on this, and hopefully I'll be able to figure out just what the hell it all means.

For all my fellow Laker fans, here's a pretty good story on Andrew Bynum.

Here are the bachelors Emily gets to choose from. They don't look promising. 

It's impossible not to laugh at this.

And finally, how did you celebrate We Killed Bin Laden Day?

Mine wasn't as festive as last year, because the big story at the start of this week was that President Obama had the audacity to bring up the fact that he made the call to kill Bin Laden last year. Apparently, he's not allowed to make this a campaign issue. Conservatives, and even some liberals, are pissed that the President would have the nerve to try and run on his record of achievements.

What a jerk!

Can you imagine if Bush had killed Bin Laden? Holy shit. That's probably the one thing that could make southerners stop reenacting the Civil War, because they'd reenact the Bin Laden killing. Bush would've landed a helicopter on a stack of Muslims in Guantanamo Bay in front of a banner that said "Osama Bin Gotten!" 

It kills the Republicans that Obama killed Osama. They can't handle it. You mention it to them and they freak the fuck out. Sorry guys, but you didn't do it. Bush didn't get it done. He even said "I really just don't spend that much time thinking about him (Bin Laden), to be honest with you".

In 2007, Romney said, “It’s not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person”.

How in the hell, if you're Barack Obama, do you not bring this up every second? You have to! It's called a Presidential campaign. Yeah, he's politicizing it. You know why? Cause he's a politician. It's the job.
