They run, they hide, they plot in dark caves and train kids to use guns. <br /><br />Plus, for better or worse, the US is not Tibet. Clinton, Bush, Obama? Not the Dalai Lama. <br /><br />I too worry about extremist retribution, and it's likely coming, but I think it would be coming without the events of this week.<br /><br />Already sick of the media blitz though....<br /><br />bethMe, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-4981680936251385122011-05-04T07:51:54.397-07:002011-05-04T07:51:54.397-07:00My FB friends on her know that I went with MLK Jr....My FB friends on her know that I went with MLK Jr., but I did also have the correspondents dinner links on my page as well.<br /><br />I am happy for Obama but I always have to temper any joy re:terrorists withe the reality that evil still walks among us.<br /><br />Thanks for the great post!Central PAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-67786173280412906872011-05-04T06:03:50.196-07:002011-05-04T06:03:50.196-07:00Well done Beth.... love, Mom C.Well done Beth.... love, Mom C.Mom Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-11846164146414795122011-05-03T17:03:55.643-07:002011-05-03T17:03:55.643-07:00A couple of wise people have put this quote on the...A couple of wise people have put this quote on their facebook page: <br /><br />"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr<br /><br />Although I agree and appreciate the good doctor's sensibility, what *I* chose to put out there was a cartoon of Barack in a cowboy hat saying: "Here's my birth certificate. Here's Osama Bin Laden. Anything else I can get you motherfuckers?"<br /><br />xo<br />JacquieMe, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-18076775702954128982011-05-03T16:28:46.401-07:002011-05-03T16:28:46.401-07:00You're awesome, Beth.

I wouldn't know how to start to tackle this prickly turn of events . . . <br /><br />I was watching that very Barack Obama onstage at the White House Correspondents dinner when I clicked over to facebook and saw the first news about bin Laden. *Then* I watched Obama's announcement live on abc.com. What a study in contrasts! Being funny and clever and charming while knowing what was about to go down . . . A friend today said, "Obama's the smartest guy in the room and he's playing 3-D chess; that's how he can do it."<br /><br />Those kids of yours -- all of yours -- ware what we depend on to keep this all real.<br /><br />Love you.<br />EllieMe, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-46257631837546929452011-05-03T09:46:59.861-07:002011-05-03T09:46:59.861-07:00Beth, I agree 100% and your blog sums it up beauti...Beth, I agree 100% and your blog sums it up beautifully!<br />Love, MomPatnoreply@blogger.com
