Yeah, but this time it’s okay, because it’s from the National Lampoon.
OBLU! Commitment. Community. Jihad!
Osama bin Laden University seeks to instill the fundamentals of terrorism in its students. Whether you want the glorious martyrdom of killing hundreds of infidels in an embassy bombing, or the more personal satisfaction of hunting down a blasphemous author in a mullah-sanctioned fatwa, OBLU can get you where you want go!

James Lileks’ comment today in passing over the negativity of the media:
Hey: dead Taliban troops in the ditch is a good thing. It is not an affront to civilized values; it is a reassertion of civilized values, odd as that seems to some people.The sooner the Taliban is crushed, the better, and the sooner there’s a chance someone gives up OBL. I don’t expect that, but it would be a nice bonus. Bring him to DC in chains. Put him in the House of Representatives; hold a joint session, and let everyone laugh at him for about ten minutes. Then they play “Do the Hustle” and everyone dances, complete with Soul Train dancers in the balcony.
Then drop him off at a fire station. Any one would do.
I’ve tried to avoid the name-calling style of Taliban/OBL-bashing, just because too much of it out there has had an uncomfortable anti-Arab/anti-Islam odor about it> But I just kind of liked this.

Michael Kelly in the Washington Post hits much of the media chorus dead-on in this parody, “All-Negative, All the Time.”
“Good evening, and welcome to ‘All Is Lost,’ the nightly public affairs program produced by National Public Radio and the British Broadcasting Corp. Tonight we discuss what has been called America’s war against terror. I am your host, Perfectly Modulated Voice of Reason.
“With me, in our Washington studio, are: Fabled Newsman Who Was There When Saigon Fell . . . Scientifically Trained Impartial Scholar . . . and Bureau Chief of Second-Rate Regional Monopoly Newspaper Who Is Desperate to Be Hired by the New York Times. From London, we are joined by our European affairs analyst, Loathes America and Prays for Its Swift Destruction.”
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
