Osama

I did not anticipate my Sunday night to involve celebratory bourbon or a late-night bike ride down to the White House. I grabbed my camera but, of course, left the memory card in my laptop, so I had to make do with my phone.



Indeed, sir.



One guy climbed a street lamp to drape a flag over it. It seemed like everyone was waiting around for something without being sure what that something was. At a certain level, a crowd will enjoy a positive feedback loop (I came down, didn't I?), whether there's a real reason to congregate or not, I suppose. It is a little strange to be cheering the death of one, mostly marginalized man, but people will be people.

Anyway, it's pretty impressive that this whole operation successfully remained a secret. Look at Gates's and Obama's faces after the Osama joke, around 0:30. They must have been pissing themselves.
