Hmmm...

Now I'm beginning to wonder if anyone really knew this "Gary Weddie" long before Osama went underground.

When was the last time, pre-Sept. 11th, people really saw Osama aside from on video cameras? Why, maybe he's been hiding in Washington state, shooting videos in a special soundstage in his basement? Take off the glasses, apply a little makeup... really, it's a genius of a disguise. We'll have to watch the length of Osama's beard the next time he's on camera.

On a slightly more serious note, now I have one more reason* not to want to see Osama caught -- to see how far Gary takes this pledge. Am I the only one who's slightly reminded of the unfortunate 1969 Dick Van Dyke vehicle Some Kind of a Nut, where the main character refused to shave and otherwise go back to a life of conformity? Probably, probably...


*The other is knowing that if he's caught or found dead he'll be paraded as a Bush administration "success," and some well-intentioned dimwit will say "Now all of the sacrifice seems worth it."
