“While Obama was addressing the nation last night, Donald Trump was hosting a cat-fight between NeNe and Starr Jones, voting off some chick named Hope, and making an ‘historic’ decision to bring back LaToya Jackson.” [Sully]

President Obama: “The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama Bin Laden.”

Previously…

CNN is citing “multiple sources” that the U.S. “has the body of Osama Bin Laden”. President Obama to deliver national address in minutes.

CNN: Osama killed in Afghanistan (update: Pakistan). Presumption is that DNA tests were conducted prior to making the call.

CNN: “Actionable U.S. intelligence” on Osama’s location prompted strike. Osama killed in mansion outside Islamabad — Pakistan — with family members.

CNN: “Human operation, not a drone.”

Bonus Update! The inevitable Fox chyron:

Title: “Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom”

Author: Ron Paul

Rank: 24

Blurb: “Dr. Paul writes that to believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome. It is to trust in the spontaneous order that emerges when the state does not intervene in human volition and human cooperation.”

Review: “He is not unlike Voltaire was in the 18th century, a constant voice of liberty in the face of persistent tyranny and corruption by those in power.”

As you no doubt know by now, whether or not you care to, HRH The Crown Grandprince is also Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and — no, really — Baron Carrickfergus, titles bestowed upon His Royal Male Pattern Baldness by HM The Corgi Wrangler, and scandalously proving that she’s been watching more Monty Python than Buckingham Palace has let on.

Perhaps it’s one of those state secrets only Prime Ministers are told upon assuming office. Like the existence of witches.

We of course were immediately consumed by a desire to learn more about the barony, since we don’t know which sketch it’s derived from. (“Baron Spamshire” would have been too obvious, and we’re sure HM dismissed it the moment Prince Philip suggested it.)

We don’t know how she did it, but Oklahoma crazy lady firebrand Sally Kern actually crossed a line:

“I want to humbly apologize for my statements last night about African-Americans and women,” Kern, R-Oklahoma City, said in a statement. “I believe that our government should not provide preference based on race or gender. I misspoke while trying to convey this point last night during debate.”

Heavens! Whatever could Sally Kern say that would make Sally Kern apologize?

The Management apologizes for stacking up Donald Trump posts, but The Management hasn’t seen such glee on the Interwebs since Sarah Palin was considered a serious presidential candidate.

America’s Potty Mouth is 64, which means America’s Potty Mouth is old enough to face The Ultimate Boomer Question:

When asked if he avoided the draft during the Vietnam War, Trump says he got lucky because, although he had a high draft number, his number was not called.

Ah, the good old days, checking the newspaper every year after Lady Bird drew the Doomed Birthdays from the hopper. Although maybe it wasn’t Lady Bird. Memory fades. And besides, the Draft was long gone when we turned draft-age anyway.

But back to Mr. Lucky. Seems there was another factor keeping him out of the jungle:

Despite Donald Trump’s claim this week that he avoided serving in the Vietnam War solely due to a high draft number, Selective Service records show that the purported presidential aspirant actually received a series of student deferments while in college and then topped those off with a medical deferment after graduation that helped spare him from fighting for his country, The Smoking Gun has learned.

Well! We certainly can’t blame him for using all the options available. But then, we’re not among his Birther fanbase.
