…of the currently dead (Arafat, yes really) and soon to be dead (Scott Peterson), where the heck is this weasel and why isn’t he getting spanked by Lucifer as we speak?

Did that reporter just call me a poodle?

I’m on that “as yet, unpublished” map.

UPDATE: Follow the trackback and you’ll see that the “unpublished” map is now “PUBLISHED!” Citizenship is now open to the Punditagy territory. (All hail Commissar)

GUILTY

Justice served.

Via Drudge: FORMER HEAD OF CIA'S OSAMA BIN LADEN UNIT SAYS THE QAEDA LEADER
HAS SECURED RELIGIOUS APPROVAL TO USE A NUCLEAR BOMB AGAINST AMERICANS

I hold some skepticism due to the source (no, not Drudge, but CBS 60 Minutes). If this is fact, then it is indeed scary.

In the U.S., and in most other “western” countries, we treat our dead leaders with utmost respect (i.e. Reagan’s funeral). Perhaps it is a simple cultural issue, but for the life of me, I can’t understand this:

Yes – that’s Chairman Arafat, post stage dive, being carried through the mosh pit. This looks just like the few Iranian funerals I’ve seen in pictures and on TV (specifically, Ayatollah Khomeini) where the distraught crowds have actually busted up the pine box containing the corpse. It’s all a little creepy in my view.

More scary details from the BEEB.
