Oil fell slightly, and stocks rose sharply almost immediately but if anything, I think the civil wars and unrest already in the region combined with the protests and further unrest will make oil prices rise somewhat. I am preparing myself for $5 per gallon gas by July myself just in case.

DAMN STRAIGHT!.....
I must admit 2 things:
1-Given that our society has the technology to pinpoint a pimple on a fly's left butt cheek from outer space; We seem to not be able to capture one measely guy.....JEEZ
2-Seems to be a NICE diversion of attention from the gas prices, and economy that has seemed to lost it's footing.....Way to go....
But no what? Another guy step in his place?....Hmm...

Can't say I'm as excited as the rest of the country. I'm just very relieved. He is responsible for thousands of deaths. I think he got off easy. And who knows whats gonna happen next.

I had gone to bed early last night.
At approximately 11:30 p.m. (EDT), my youngest daughter came running into my bedroom, screaming, "They got him!!! They got him!!!!!! Daddy, they got him!!!!!"
I jumped out of bed and grabbed my glasses and started reaching for the nightstand drawer. . . . . .
"They got who?? Meg, where is everybody? Where's your Mom? Where's Brad? Where's Russell???"
I honestly thought that we had been the victims of a home invasion!!!!!!! (We're getting a lot of that crap, around here, nowadays.)
When Megan explained what had happened, the only thing I could say, is, "YES!!!!!!!!"
My friends, no matter how vigilant we are, we need to be more careful in how we go about our daily lives.
There will be retaliation. We can be certain of that.
Watch your back(s).
To the men and women of our Armed Forces -
Congratulations! Well done!!!!! Well done, indeed!!!!!

A great day in American history. Take a moment to remember those who this despicable human being murdered...those on 9/11/01...and countless others leading up to that time...and since!!!
As there will undoubtedly be counter attacks...we must not let down our guard!!!

It's about time.
Simply amazing how he was living in a mansion in an affluent neighborhood near the capital, and it took us 10 years to find him. I know he may not have been there all along but the place was built in '05 I think they said. He certainly wasn't the cave rat they painted him to be.
Good riddance nonetheless, and you're welcome W.
