Thanks for the input, Mr. Laden. (Is "bin" your middle name, by the way?)

Let me just say that I find the idea that I should in any way base my decision on whom to vote for this November on some kind of armchair psychoanalysis of who Osama bin Laden wants to win, an idea I'm seeing in play lately (here's Kevin Drum on the subject), is just plain stupid.

I doubt very much if Bin Laden gives a shit who wins the election, and I know for a fact that I don't care what Bin Laden wants about anything. Unless it's a large bullet, delivered at great speed and from short range, into his prefontal lobe.

(I'm writing this in one Mozilla tab as Skeptical Notion is loading in the other, and I see that Morat's thoughts on this are identical to mine.)
