Bye all! Can we let Wilson drift away on the ocean like in "Cast Away" now? Make it a good day!

#214: "PAKISTAN’S intelligence and security establishment thinks ..." ding ding ding, I'm sorry, my BS detector is pegging. I'm quite willing to believe OBL is dead, but that's one deeply compromised establishment.

221 nice shaf

Donny Rumsfeld stated, “We are pretty sure he is either alive or dead.”

207 yay ShaneO yer always a step ahead.
I do so wanna hear it

From the bin Laden wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden

December 2001 Quoting an unnamed Taliban official, the Pakistan Observer reported that Bin Laden died of untreated lung complications and was buried in an unmarked grave in Tora Bora on December 15. This report was picked up by Fox News in the United States on December 26. A videotape was released on December 27 showing a gaunt, unwell Bin Laden, prompting an unnamed White House aide to comment that it could have been made shortly before his death. On CNN, Dr Sanjay Gupta commented that Bin Laden's left arm never moved during the video, suggesting a recent stroke and possibly a symptom of kidney failure. According to Pakistani President Musharraf, Bin Laden required two dialysis machines, which also suggests kidney failure. "I think now, frankly, he is dead for the reason he is a... kidney patient," Musharraf said. If Bin Laden suffered kidney failure, he would require a sterile environment, electricity, and continuous attention by a team of specialists, Gupta said. In April 2002, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld stated, "We have heard neither hide nor hair of him since, oh, about December in terms of anything hard....We are pretty sure he is either alive or dead." FBI Counterterrorism chief Dale Watson and President Karzai of Afghanistan also expressed the opinion that Bin Laden probably died at this time.

216 that's bad. Especially since she was afraid one of the other
women would rat her out for disobedience. Sistahs outta stick
together. Even moreso when yer dealing with goat smelling jerks
like the Osama bros...

you lie! click.

Caller Douchebag loves Joey Wilson... I'm so happy for him. Twit.

Osama's are everywhere. I saw one at the Quicki-Mart by the slurpee machine.

Wahabbis have weird rules. I read a book by Carmen Bin Laden (married one of Osama's half brothers), she remembers Bin Laden's first wife trying to feed an infant with a spoon. All the women were in a cabin, seperate from the men, and the baby was screaming but Mrs. Osama refused to use a bottle, because Osama said use a spoon and she didn't want it getting back to him that she disobeyed.
Osama felt some sort of religious reason why bottles were bad, and forced his wife to use a spoon to feed their baby.

209 I suspect Momma will always be wantin' a fireman... and a pony

Latest from The Australian...

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197...

PAKISTAN'S intelligence and security establishment thinks Osama bin Laden is dead or has fled heavily bombarded tribal areas and gone elsewhere in the Islamic world, probably Yemen.

"If he is still alive - and I emphasise if - he is definitely not in Pakistan," Interior Minister Rehman Malik tells The Weekend Australian in an interview in Islamabad.

"He could be in a neighbouring country, and he could even have used a boat to go elsewhere ... possibly getting aboard a fishing boat on the remote Makran coast of Baluchistan and going to another country."

Both President Asif Ali Zardari and Dr Malik have a political imperative in insisting the al-Qa'ida leader is not in Pakistan, but senior members of the country's intelligence agencies who have previously been upfront in admitting he was probably in Pakistan now say they have doubts he is alive or in the region.

One senior security analyst said: "The reality is that our FATA tribal region - including Waziristan, where Osama has often been touted to be - has simply become too hot for him.

"The killing two months ago of (Pakistan Taliban leader) Baitullah Mehsud in a US drone attack, and the killing of a string of other highly placed militant leaders, including Osama's third son, shows just how unsafe FATA has become for them.

Welcome Back, Conspiracy Corner!! :-)

Steph havin' dinner with Osama?

Jim, Osamo was never anything other than a pig's head on a dress
dummy in Evil Dick's basement

oh boy, CC!

#195: "11. Fireman (any)" - oh yeah, I remember that guy, is he still on the list?

Say whaaaaat?

#190 - I found the B&B drop and sent it to Chris -- chances are, he already has it...

204 take a lude Momma and put on yer Alvin and the Chipmunks do
the Beatles Greatest Hits vinyl

202 lol Maddy

Steph is worrying way too much. Chill out Mama and let the man do his thing. You're going to give yourself acid reflux. (is that like a flashback?)

198 I wanna see 'Extract'

199 got it Right Here!

197 -- a really funny accent like Peter Cook in Princess Bride.

Rocky and Bullwinkle! love those guys.

Stephie as Natasha? who gets to be Boris? Jim
Rebekah has to put on the Squirrel suite, Chris
wears the antlers... pile in the SUV we're goin' to the liquor barn!

Max gets to drive! Oliver's got shotgun!

But, it IS about rules and manners (outburst re: joe wilson).

Whatever happened to Manners??

197. don't forget your sceptre under your alb

#190 - that would be great!

Speaking of Beavis & Butthead...going to see 'Extract' tonight, the new Mike Judge flick. Should be good--'Office Space', of course, classic!

188 hey k

just mellow'in out at church... got my mitre and my altar
boys, whut more does a prelate need?

190 that would be so cool

186 have you seen the Stephanie Miller Future Husbands Club
website with the take off of the Sgt Peppers album cover?
verrrry cool
http://www.smfhc.com/

the sure to check out the thing that tells you who everyboddy is

#183 - LOL (and you're probably right)

#186 - I never thought about the beauty of the white album as an art object before. As I think about it, it is eye-catching. Food for thought...thanks, madd!

#191 Okay, I spoke too soon. Disney did update the attraction:
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/magic-kingd...

H. R. 676!!!

#189 Of course, now Disney will likely update the ride to include Captain Jack Sparrow.

When beavis and butthead were commenting on Rollins' video for "Liar", Beavis went off on "liar! liar! etc." if could find that, it might be the last word on Joe Wilson.

The movie Battleship will probably be as close to being about the board game as Pirates of the Caribbean is to the ride in the Magic Kingdom.

183. well that explains the pointy hats and colorful robes and mellow tones of the priests.

I'm waiting for BINGO! The Movie.

OT -- I just bought the White Album on CD for the first time the other day. As all over the map as that thing is, and as undemonstrative as the packaging is, to me the whole thing seems like a unified art object. It always has. Even more than Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, which arguably tried for that effect, there's a sense of time & place & vision, at least for me, with the White Album.

Anybody else think that?

cool, just found that the incence ball, or cencer is also
called a thurible... love finding a new word
can I use it in a sentance? you bet!
'Momma put your thurible away, nice girls don't show theirs off'

Anyone see the Huffpo.com headline? "Obama calls Kanye a jackass" -- WTF? Some reporter tweeted it, then deleted it, from a remark off-the-record...and my question is, why the he%* would huffpo find the need to make it a Headline?? Really? That's Big News?? Geez.

hah! the incense ball... back in the Day, I mean REALLY back in
the day, the Catholic Church put hashish in the censer [as in
incenser]... made that Spiritual State easier to attain... no lie

I like this caller! 'Bush couldn't find his behind with a map and a
shovel'

or you might say couldn't find his ass with a funnel... nor would
he know which end of the funnel to use to look with...

Patrick was a Beautiful Drag Queen--I hardly recognized him!

#177 Indeed.

Yes, work definitely gets in the way of life, eh?
