Wouldn't you know, I invoked the name of Osama bin Laden and sure enough he shows his ugly head and says this, according to reports:

"Octavia Nasr, CNN’s senior editor for Arab affairs, said bin Laden appears in only a 50-second portion of the video in which he asserts the Prophet Mohammed had wanted to be a martyr.

What is this status that the best of mankind wished for himself?” CNN said bin Laden asked rhetorically. “He wished to be a martyr. He himself said: ’By Him in whose hands my life is! I would love to attack and be martyred.

“This glorious prophet who was inspired by God summarized this entire life by these words. He wished upon himself this status. Happy is one who was chosen by God as a martyr,” bin Laden said, according to the CNN translation of his remarks."

I say, Osama you show us the glory of killing oneself by killing yourself! God just told me that you were chosen by him to be a martyr, honest. Cross my heart and hope to die...ooops! Didn't mean that, I wasn't chosen to be a martyr but you Osama were... god's calling you to do this, he told me personally today on my front porch.

Or are you saying Osama that your god wanted to be a martyr but couldn't cut it? Don't gods get their way? Seems to me, Osama, if you want to be a martyr there's lots of ways to make that happen.

Like Nike says in their ads, just do it!

Go Osama go, show us the glory of martyrdom by doing it. (For a truly spectacular death, Nike will give you 367 more wives, 19 pairs of Nike sneakers and a case of Margarita mix --on rainbow bridge of course and not before!!)

(Notice how the big shots never kill themselves, whether the prophet or Osama - they stay alive, get lots of wives and then find some teenagers who'll do the deed. Or American politicans who vote for a war that they'd never allow themselves or their children to "attend.")

If it's such hot shit to be a martyr then show us Osama -- get your video camera up and running and do the deed.

Let's see some old guy blow himself up instead of kids for a change.

And I say the same thing regarding all the current wars Americans are paying for (how many of them are we in now?) Let's see the old guys and gals go to war for a change and let the young, males and females stay home.

Round up the dried up old politicians who think war is so nice and strap
some bombs on them and give them some guns and mace and nail files and "turned" strawberry preserves and drop them in the middle of Iraq.

I'm so sick of the world I live in. ( SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Okay I feel better now. Phew, calming down now.

And how was your day?
