some early afternoon propaganda for you

the 45 most powerful images of the year.

japan!

bin laden!

occupy!

tornaduhs!

sheesh, what a year.

good news.

obama said in a 60 minutes interview recorded today that he will not be releasing the dead-osama pixies. you can see his brain in them! eewwww!!

"The risks of release outweigh the benefits," he said. "Conspiracy theorists around the world will just claim the photos are doctored anyway, and there is a real risk that releasing the photos will only serve to inflame public opinion in the Middle East."

"Imagine how the American people would react if Al Qaida killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the internet," he continued. "Osama bin Laden is not a trophy - he is dead and let's now focus on continuing the fight until Al Qaida has been eliminated." (via)

i know what you're thinking: what does sarah palin think? she tweeted:

Show photo as warning to others seeking America's destruction. No pussy-footing around, no politicking, no drama;it's part of the mission

is that a semi-colon? how gauche!

have you seen this picture

barack obama and senior officials watched the OBL operation in real time as it went down.

how bizarre. real life choices and their consequences.

my goodness, that is tasteless.

someone is pretending to be osama bin laden tweeting from hell.

i've only felt compelled to run to a central celebratory spot for one reason, and that's an important tennessee football victory. and had i been awake for the announcement of bin laden's death, i wouldn't've left my house. but these people did!
