Borrowing from two now-obscure shows:

_Sledge Hammer!_: “Trust me. I know what I’m doing.”

An episode of _Unsolved Mysteries_: ObL: “You think you’re pretty smart, don’t you?” SEAL: “Well…maybe.” (BLAM!)

I’d paint the muzzle of my gun lipstick red and gone for “Sealed, with a kiss.”

Heh, Bruce Campbell FTW. 🙂

And doubly appropriate, since Sam on Burn Notice is a SEAL.

I don’t normally watch Bill Maher but did catch his show yesterday, which had an original broadcast of 5/6, a day after this started. One of his skits was ‘Osama Kill shot quotes’.

Coincidence?

If I were in a room with you and two doctors who performed abortions, and my gun only had two bullets and I was pro-life, what would I do?

BANG! BANG!

Good thing I’m pro-choice.

Oh, man. He totally stole my idea. Do you know if there’s a way to watch this online? Did he use any of the stuff here?

**RitterSport** , I was in and out of the room and just caught a few of them which didn’t ring a bell and can’t speak for the rest. The concept though was identical.

Well, folks here it is:

> Nine years, seven months, and twenty days after September 11th, an American was a trigger pull from ending bin Laden’s life. The first round, a 5.56-mm. bullet, struck bin Laden in the chest. As he fell backward, the SEAL fired a second round into his head, just above his left eye. On his radio, he reported, “For God and country—Geronimo, Geronimo, Geronimo.” After a pause, he added, “Geronimo E.K.I.A.”—“enemy killed in action.”

Pretty interesting story in this week’s New Yorker about the raid. Kind of long, but well worth a read if you have the time.

\<Said in the robotic voice of the ED-209\>  
Osama Bin Laden, surrender at once, you have two seconds to comply…  
[2 seconds elapse]  
I am now authorized to use physical force!

Or  
You will be eliminated, Resistance is Futile…
