    I wanna know where the guys outside the White House found a huge American flag on such short notice. Maybe the local CVS stocks them.

    Al Jazeera English is citing "US networks," too, though it also has "senior Pakistani official confirms death." I'm glad they have something -- their anchor is swimming in it and her guests aren't helping.

    John King is trying too hard right now. He also sounds like he might be on something.

    I know the guy who runs The506.com somewhat. He tweeted about a half hour ago that the Canadian channels hadn't broken yet. Have they joined in yet?

    I don't care who's watch on which it happened. It happened and it's a great day to be an American.
    President Bush put the apparatus in place over there to get this done. It took a long time, obviously. I give President Obama very high marks for keeping us over there long enough to get this done (despite the far left bitching about that fact).

    I worked in 4 WTC for 7 years and lost friends that day. I stayed way for a long time.

    (Drove by once on the West Side highway and it was crazy to be able to see Century 21 across the open space from the highway.)

    But when I finally went there, the touristy shit bothered me too. I wanted to go all "Jesus throws the money changers out of the Temple" on them.

    John King is clearly drunk

    Whatever he was drinking all evening before he was summoned in to work is catching up to him!
