Rumors
I should be hesitant to pass on more rumors since the one I wrote about earlier -- Kerry's mistress --appears to be false. Yep, should be hesitant. Yep.

But if I paid attention to "should" I'd be thin and rich. And I can't be having that. Soooooo, here we go.

First, there's a rumor that we've found where Osama Bin Laden is and have the area surrounded. Here's an excerpt from The Sunday Telegraph (UK):

"A BRITISH Sunday newspaper is claiming Osama bin Laden has been found and is surrounded by US special forces in an area of land bordering north-west Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The Sunday Express, known for its sometimes colourful scoops, claims the al-Qaeda leader has been 'sighted' for the first time since 2001 and is being monitored by satellite."

The full story in the Sunday Telegraph can be read here. I'd like to give you a link to the Sunday Express, but so far they haven't put the story online yet. Here's the link to their front page so you can try later.

I really hope this story is correct and we're close to capturing Osama. It would even be worth enduring a second Bush term. (Democrats will immediately understand what I mean. Republicans will only understand that in their heads and not their hearts -- but this is new?)

My impression of the Express is that it isn't the most reliable source in the world. But, there are some signs that bolsters the story's credibility. First, lately there have been a lot of statements by politicians and military personnel that we're very close to capturing Osama. Second, the story also fits with where military intelligence thought he would probably be. So, I'm inclined to believe it (although this may be a case of wishful thinking on my part).

On a lighter note, there's a rumor going around about a certain Republican governor. Supposedly his wife has left him and is going to file for divorce. But the governor and his people are rumored to be begging her not to file...not so much to keep the marriage together but to keep a lid on what prompted her to leave. Let's just say it's not another woman. Hmmmm. Wish I could tell you more about whether this rumor is credible or not, but I honestly don't know.

Looking back on today's entry, I see that I've indulged in the desire for revenge against Osama and I've just been petty towards a governor. So I've shown myself up as quite the hypocrite when you consider that my ideals are Jesus and Buddha. I think today's entry just delayed my spiritual enlightenment by several years, so I hope you enjoy reading it.
