Bummer bin Laden
I made the mistake of listening to Doug Wright on KSL radio today.

Doug was complaining in his unctuous way about Osama bin Laden's video message, in which the al Qaeda chief gloats that President Bush has "drowned" Americans in economic hardship. Doug really ripped into bin Laden:
Doesn't this guy ever have anything constructive to say? Anything uplifting?
Yeah Doug, Osama is a Negative Nellie — unless, of course, you're a Palestinian or a terrorist, then I guess a zippy quip like,
Oh Muslim nation, those wars and [economic] crisis represent a great opportunity, and wise men would not let it slip away from them. You have a great chance now to overthrow the injustice and the tyranny that has overwhelmed you for decades.
sounds pretty uplifting.

Right bin laden. Except you forget that oil prices are in the toilet and all of your bases are belong to us. Without our economy there is no mid-east economy without which there is no cash flow to terrorist groups.

Hi - I'm Glen Warchol. I drink alcohol. I drink so much alcohol that I rarely remember my name, let alone my BLOG posts.

Who am I? Where am I?
