Osama Bin Laden has been found and killed. The fact that the number one enemy of the United States of America is now dead is immutable. Whether Bin Laden was, at the time of his death, the mastermind behind a global terrorism organization or a doddering old man waiting to die is open to debate.
Either way, what does the death of Osama Bin Laden mean for President Obama politically? Like most matters political, it depends on whom you ask.
Obama’s base was not really that keen on hunting down the former master of terror. While virtually all Americans of every

Oh, Were Those Your Toes? They Seem to Have Gotten in the Way

This past week, President Obama talked with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about how to achieve peace in the Middle East after countless decades of instability and war. Although Netanyahu's reply to Obama's proposal was an emphatic "Yeah, right," the Israeli PM and President Obama did agree on hard and fast Israeli security for the borders. Oh, well, that makes sense I suppose...
Wait, no it doesn't. So, Israel, you want to achieve peace, but you don't want to compromise or work for it? What kind of lazy, self-important bulls**t is that?
"We can't go back to the 1967 borders"

Too Liberal or Not Liberal Enough?

To the victor go the spoils. For a while anyway. Sometimes you just have to willingly give back what you won by blood and battle. So goes President Obama’s logic on Israel, anyway.
As you’ve surely heard by now, the President of the United States of America suggested on Thursday that Israel should cede all lands won in their war with Palestine in 1967 and go back to the old map. Oddly enough, he did not take his argument to its logical conclusion and call for the return of the Western United States to the indigenous peoples from whom it

So I Met a Man from Egypt

It was like any other day at my 9-5. I was going through the motions of a task that I have become exceedingly efficient at, to the point where I can perform my tasks without much effort. I was discussing an issue with a customer (an Arabic gentleman with a big bushy beard, probably in his early thirties) and was on my way to resolving it. During the course of our conversation, the news network Al Jazeera was mentioned. I told him I was a regular reader of their website and also a regular viewer of their
Keeping You Safe Big Brother Style

Another day, another bone-chilling sign of the end times. The Federal government announced last week a new initiative aimed at keeping us all safer by alerting the public to emergencies in a timely and efficient manner. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
The government will send an emergency warning to anyone in the path of a terrorist attack or natural disaster. It will also provide “Amber Alerts” – special urgent requests to help find missing children. Who could argue against that?
They’ll do so by means of special chips and software installed right on your cell phone. Everybody’s got a cell phone, so
