In minutes, the President of the United States is expected to report that Osama Bin Laden, the individual behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, is dead.
Dead.
Finally.
Sources say that the U.S. has the body.
11:36 PM Eastern Time: President Barack Obama has just announced that Osama Bin Laden is dead. George W. Bush would have wanted to make this announcement years ago. He couldn’t do it in 8 years as President. We’ve continued to hunt for the central figure in the war on terrorism since, and tonight, on May 1, 2011, the news is finally in.
Bin Laden is dead. Hiding in plain sight, in Islamabad Pakistan.
Now what?
Will terrorism increase? It’s likely. Will there be a short term intensification of terrorist response to this news. Probably. Is Barack Obama the right leader for this time? What can we expect in the coming days?
No one knows.
What we do know is this matters. This is a major story. It brings a certain amount of closure; closure for the people of New York City, Washington DC, and Shanksville, PA.
In fact, this provides closure for every American.

NYT: Never mind…
No one can find evidence that Tea Party demonstrators hurled racial epithets on March 20, 2010, at Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia and members of the Congressional Black Caucus. And you can bet people have tried. Andrew Breitbart has even offered to give $100,000 to the United Negro College Fund once evidence is found. Even though members of the MSM, liberal pundits and the Democrat party state the offense as fact, no video or audio of the event exists. Finally, the New York Times gave up.
The Political Times column last Sunday, about a generational divide over racial attitudes, erroneously linked one example of a racially charged statement to the Tea Party movement. While Tea Party supporters have been connected to a number of such statements, there is no evidence that epithets reportedly directed in March at Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia, outside the Capitol, came from Tea Party members.
Does the debate over this unfortunate rumor end here? Of course not. The “Tea Party is filled with racists” narrative is widely disseminated as a factual event. No evidence is needed, apparently.
Still, it’s nice to see a little crow on the menu at The Gray Lady.
Charlie Rangel Will Resign This Week
At least Tunku Varadarajan of The Daily Beast thinks so.
He’s an embarrassment, and a hindrance to his party’s 2010 fortunes.
Rangel is toast.

The Elusive White iPhone 4
It was suppose to be available shortly after the announcement of iPhone 4. Then, it was going to be available “in July”. As of last week, it was going to be released “at the end of July”. Well, fahgetaboutit, says Apple:
White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.
Apple hasn’t specified what the problem is. It’s just a color, right? I mean, how hard can it be to create a white phone? I could understand if they were trying to go all crayola 64 color on us, but come on, we’re talking an easy color here, right?
Wrong.
It’s a whole lot more complex than anyone thought.
I held off upgrading my iPhone 3G in hopes that the white one would be released next week. Now, I’m not so sure it’ll ever see the light of day.
