That settles it

Weekend at Osama'sTaliban Official: Bin Laden Is Alive.

I wasn’t buying it when they were showing OBL’s vacation videos during the year after 9/11, which everyone — everyone but the CIA, whose opinion is also entirely counter-indicative of the actual truth — knew had been taken in Tora Bora before it was leveled, if not earlier. I wasn’t buying it in the last year when they haven’t even dragged out the latest 8-track of his supposed voice, which itself was absurd: If he were alive, you know they’d put him on the screen.

Just the whole thing is preposterous. (My word of the year, sorry.) But now that they’ve come out and announced the contrary, short of his head in a basket — which, really, who among us really wants any part of? — I can’t imagine what else you’d want.

UPDATE: I have never felt so sure of myself on something like this!

UP-UP-UPDATE: Dead men tell no tales.

      Overlawyered turns 10.  Congratulations!  There was really blogging ten years ago? I didn’t miss the anniversary.  I just didn’t want to be accused of cadging for a link. […]
    • Holding Caulfield (corrected)
      I could have linked to a million stories on this, but Publishers Weekly seems appropriate: Finding that author J.D. Salinger is “likely to succeed on the merits of its copyright case,” a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction late on Wednesday afternoon, barring the publication of what Salinger’s attorneys called an unauthorized sequel to The Catcher […]
    • He just bought it like that
      Impulse buying, King of Pop style: Branca had a surprise for Jackson. The attorney said casually, ‘By the way, the ATV catalogue is available.’ Jackson looked puzzled. Branca added teasingly, ‘It includes a few things you might be interested in.’ ‘Like what?’ Jackson asked. ‘Northern Songs,’ Branca replied. Jackson recognized that name. ‘You mean the Norther […]
    • Royal mess
      Burger King’s trademark place is kind of funny.   If you Google His Majesty’s Monicker along with the word TRADEMARK, you get this link, which not only asserts, naturally, his royal BURGER KING® registered mark, but the far more dubious BK® mark down at the bottom, yet not at all (on that page) the ancient [...] […]
    • When you’re a hammer
      The whole world is a nail. Now Marty Schwimmer isn’t a hammer, because he does trademarks and not patents, see.  So this post connecting Michael Jackson and intellectual property is not proof that Michael Jackson’s death is a nail! (Single-glove-tip on the actual patent to Andie Schwartz!) […]
