Osama bin Laden: the Resurrection 2

The Chicago Tribune provides tools for building your own wingnut conspiracy theory as to how Osama bin Laden is not dead, but is risen. A nugget:

(Bin Laden / Elvis) was spotted in (the crowd / the men’s room) at the United Center on Monday as the Chicago Bulls dropped Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Atlanta Hawks. Hey, we can make up stuff too.

This week’s doubters have been dubbed “deathers,” a not-subtle allusion to the birthers, who are still spinning conspiracies about the president’s origins despite all that egg on their faces. Neither group should be confused with the truthers, who reject government and media accounts of the 9/11 attacks, which were (an inside job / a government pretext for war in the Middle East).

It is a delicious read.

My friend Karen is no piker; she has the answer.

    Comments that should be on Facebook:

    “bin Laden’s last Facebook post:  BRB, someone is at the door”

    “his new song is: 2 shots & a splash of water”

    No, I didn’t think these up. I’m not that good.
