I don't look at this as a time to be celebratory.

I feel more solemn and thankful than anything else.

Seriously, Na Na Na?

Sorry to be such a buzzkill.

And that's how I feel, honestly. But I understand those who feel like celebrating because they process things differently than I do. I understand now Gil didn't mean what I took him to mean, but I find it wrong to equate those celebrating the death of the mass murderer with those celebrating the mass murder itself. That's what Bernstein's tweet seemed to imply and I found that notion disgusting. I am earnestly sorry for my overreaction, but that to me seemed just wrong.

I think this is a great event and certainly purgative for this country. The news from this country has been an unrelenting stream of shit that it is great to celebrate the first thing that isn't terrible. 

However, the costs of the war have been huge. In blood, in fortune, in prestige. Oh and in the personal freedoms that this country used to take for granted.  Celebrating like the KUBBBIEZ won the pennant or something just seems gauche.

Watching this brings to mind those videos from 9/11, of Palestinians celebrating, and how angry that made me feel.  Celebrating this in the way that many are seems beneath us. But, hey, this is America, where they can (still, thankfully) do (and say!!!!) whatever they want.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

If one could still get OTC ipecac, I'd be having a purgative event at the moment. A "great event"?

But I'm all for the celebrations--I think it's good to differentiate ourselves as a people who will celebrate the death of a truly evil man, who died in an operation where caution was taken not to kill innocents, as opposed to a people who ceelbrate the deaths of 3000+ innocents..  Even though it would've been more than justified to firebomb the place and pull his charred carcass from the rubble.

Please.  There are no more than a handful of people for who I'd say actively celebrat their deaths.  Hitler and his close supporters.  Arafat.   The white dudes who kept Apartheid going for so long...

As for the corpse comment--it was dry hyperbole.  But I really think my reaction to someone doing that would be to shrug, not to think it was all that wrong or to empathize with anyone who would protest such a thing.

Who shot RW? Probably somebody that hated that stupid Super Bowl Shuffle rap he did. So it could be pretty much anyone.
