Obama was totally Photoshopped into that situation-room photo. I can't really say what's the saddest thing about this rumor, except that it apparently started because right-wing bloggers aren't up-to-speed on the Sad Keanu meme. [...] Obama commissioned an opinion poll before ordering the raid. To tell him what? That the American people might like to see bin Laden brought to justice? According to Blackfive blogger Uncle Jimbo: "John Weisman said in his book Kill bin Laden, and confirmed to me personally, that Obama had a poll taken on the potential fall out if the public found he didn't pull the trigger, and that this delayed the raid while he waited on the answer." Perhaps Jimbo should have noted somewhere that Weisman's book is a novel. Even the right-wing Washington Times knocked Weisman's use of fiction to exact "ill-conceived revenge on members of the administration."

Nearly eleven years after terrorists brought down the Twin Towers, the World Trade Center can again boast of itself as New York City’s tallest building. One World Trade Center, built to replace the towers, surpassed the Empire State Building yesterday afternoon, and by the time it is finished sometime next year, it will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third tallest in the world. The reconstruction of the World Trade Center was done almost entirely with union labor. More than 3,200 workers were involved in the reconstruction effort, and as American Rights At Work notes, labor unions have been connected to the site since 9/11: It’s fitting: union members were among the first responders; union members served in the immediate cleanup; and now union members are part of the rebuilding.

The U.S. Justice Department has launched a probe into allegations that up to 80 complaints of sexual assault over three years were not investigated thoroughly in a college town in Montana.
I've located where they threw him away. I'm the only one with this information. He's 200 miles to the west of the Indian city of Surat. Warren—who claims he has discovered more than 200 shipwrecks during his career as a treasure-hunter—says that bin Laden's body is still at that same location, deep under water. His thought is that, since the Navy weighted down the bag, the body hasn't moved from where it was dropped. He is now trying to rent Russian deep diving equipment to locate his payload, and to conduct DNA tests once he finds him. ... He declares that his only fear is that the US Government would kill him or sink his boat ... Warren says he is doing this because he doesn't "believe the Obama administration" and he wants to have proof that it is really his body.

Israel has a shortage of civilian gas masks, but you wouldn’t know it from walking down Manhattan’s St. Mark’s Place, where the masks are on sale in half a dozen stores for a mere $25 each. The Israeli model 4A1 gas masks on display in the East Village ... might not protect you from a chemical weapons attack. That’s because their protective filters have been removed and replaced with foot-long acrylic bongs meant for smoking marijuana.

America's favorite pastime hits a home run in public popularity, and basketball's bouncing along nicely. But in the rink and on the raceway, hockey and NASCAR could use a little better buzz. Two-thirds of Americans express a favorable opinion of professional baseball, vs. just 28 percent who see it negatively in this ABC News/Washington Post poll. That gives it the top spot among the four currently in-season professional sports tested.
