Just a little quote that caught my eye whilst browsing the news this morning...

From U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, John Negroponte, on Osama bin Laden:

"I think our best assessment is that he is still alive and that he is somewhere in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area," Negroponte said. "I would also make the point that wherever he is, he is hiding."

Wow...really? Osama bin Laden has been hiding all these years? That is BRAND NEW INFORMATION!!

Give this man a cookie. His genius is unparalleled.

Ugh. I know.

I was ready to choke someone out when I saw the headline "Osama to make a new video!"

Were we going to get a premiere night with it? Sheesh.

First of all...LOL @ your icon. Every time I see it, I burst into fits of giggles.

Secondly, yes...let's roll out the red carpet, call the paps, and pop up a whole mess of popcorn! Osama's got a new movie out!

I hope he doesn't wear a bikini - I'd hate to see how fat and out of shape he is now that he's been in hiding.

Honey...it can't possibly be worse than some of the Speedo-clad men I saw on the cruise.

At least his beard provides some coverage.

That is BRAND NEW INFORMATION!

Phoebe from friends?

Yes, I was channeling her when I wrote this. Heh.

Makes George look good, though.

(Makes Dan Quayle look good ? :)

Ugh...no.

[onelargecat.livejournal.com]

LOL.

Gotta laugh to keep from crying, right? ;)

So I wonder if he had actual intelligence that bin Laden was hiding, or it was just a Chertoffesque gut feeling?

[prosodic.livejournal.com]

Actual intelligence? Is there such a thing?

[dimwit68.livejournal.com]

In the Bush Whitehouse, or elsewhere on the planet?

(Dolphins are quite smart, apparently :)

[prosodic.livejournal.com]

Well, mainly in our current administration.

I think, overall, animals are smarter than most people. They just get together and laugh at us behind our backs, because they're only making us think we have superior intelligence. ;)
