Welcome to everyone in a different part of the country and different parts of the world. Here in New York City, we just enjoyed 2 incredibly beautiful Spring days.

This weekend... I spent the days quietly working.

May 1 has been a quiet day for me for the past 20 years or so for a completely different reason.

And then we all got the news.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I have very few words to say right now.

My sincere admiration goes out to the men and women who worked tirelessly to find this hateful, despicable criminal.

And I feel deeply for the sadness this must bring up in any of us who lost friends and loved ones on that September day 10 years ago. My heart aches for that loss.

.

.

.

But, just a thought which many of you might reject. I really don't care. It's not so much a thought as a deep feeling anyway.

And maybe I'm alone in this today... but I'm turning my television off for the next 48 hours.

Because this is making me sick.

(Most of the young people who are swigging beer and champagne, mugging the camera look about 19 or 20 years old -- which realistically means they were
10 years old or younger when Bin Laden committed that horrendous act of murder. And most of them spilled out from George Washington University, which
according to CNN is the most expensive school in this country. 'nough said.)

.

This simply represents the basest, darkest angels of our nature.

AM I ALONE IN THIS FEELING?

And I'm sad for us. I hope I'm not alone. I hope there are more people in this country and in this world who feel as I do today. But after watching the first few hours of coverage in our puerile American "news" media... I began to feel so sad for us as a nation. And I began to feel incredibly alone.

I know it's just a feeling. I believe I know the Truth of the matter.

But if you wouldn't mind, please let me know that initial feeling is wrong and that there are "thoughtful" and "contemplative" people left in this country.

I don't know what to say.

The response has already been overwhelming.

TOMORROW I'll devote the update to a representative sample of the comments I receive from all of you.

.

We look... barbaric and simple.

And last night, my initial reaction was this... the more I hear people in the "news" media say that the military's "war on terror" was all worth it for this moment, they make no allowance for the 4,452 Americans who senselessly died in Iraq and the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women and children killed in that invasion. The more I hear the shallow bluster, the sadder I get.

No words.

.

But I can tell you this.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I don't want to hear a fucking word from either one of these disgraceful human beings.

.

.

.

I, for one, want to hear NO more chest-thumping. You'll find out more details as the day moves on. They surely didn't find him in Iraq. (He's been hiding inside Pakistan since 2001.)
