Everyone knows that the whole Osama Bin Laden burial at sea story was a little fishy.  Here is what really happened.

In case you missed it, actor/comedian/third amigo Martin Short was on the David Letterman show a few weeks ago (May 16, 2011).  On the show he did a rousing farewell to Osama Bin Laden entitled “Bastard in the Sand” to the tune of Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind.”

This cartoon, from Gary Varvel who does cartoons for the Indianapolis Star, is my new favorite editorial cartoon.

After nearly 10 years of searching US forces finally found and killed Osama Bin Laden (1957-2011) the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, top leader of the al Qaeda terrorist network, hero of the anti-American Muslim world population, and general thorn in the side of the US military.

The presidency is the most visible thread that runs through the tapestry of the American government. More often than not, for good or for ill, it sets the tone for the other branches and spurs the expectations of the people. Its powers are vast and consequential, its requirements impossible for mortals to fulfill without humility and insistent attention to its purpose as set forth in the Constitution of the United States.
