I haven't made it that far yet.

I want to savor that thread like Kobe beef.

Well, shit... Way to ruin a perfectly good bloodlust thread, guys.

It's almost as if the Twatheads thread didn't exist and the terrorists were allowed to win for several hours after Osama got a rocket fed to him. DID Y'ALL NOT GET THE MEMO!!!!

David Axelrod gloating on WGN a few seconds ago didn't sit well either.

FWIW, I lean towards the flannj/Wheezer/Gil camp inasmuch as I found the style of celebration last night a bit disquieting at times.

Much of what I saw in footage from DC struck me as little more than a bunch of college kids doing the same exact thing college kids do when their team wins (or loses) a major championship.

But, in the end, I decided that it's not my place to tell other people how to experience this.

10 years ago we were cold cocked and solemn. And, while more solemnity is what seemed proper to me last night, there's something to be said for celebratory catharsis, too.

Also: fuck that guy.

Nothing, however, excuses Gil and CFiHP for gumming up that thread with a discussion of "Star Trek: Enterprise."

Despite my cold water throwing, how could anybody not get a lump in their throat during the National Anthem at the United Center tonight?

Especially now that it's confirmed that Jim Cornelison is going to be singing it.

I agree. I understand the desire to gather in one place and wave a flag, but the beach balls and champagne seem a little over the top. And it did seem like celebrating a win, but we didn't really win anything.

Wow.  That's pretty cool, I must admit.

Might be worth noting that the people celebrating around the White House mostly were college aged (as GWU is a few blocks from there), so they were only 8-10 when OBL's hide n'seek game began, so it is a bit different to them.

I'm guessing at least one of those Chads used "I lost my [insert relative] on 9/11" card to score some tail.

Great. Now SKO is going to shoehorn in a CFL discussion.
