In case anyone's living under a rock (or maybe I'm on the internet too much), Osama Bin Laden was killed todayyesterday.
In the spirit of 9/11 and knowing and asking people where they were and what they were doing when they found out...
I was on Twitter hearing the news of Osama Bin Laden being killed a good few minutes before Celebrity Apprentice was rick-rolled for the president's announcement(icing on the fucking CAKE) that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. Some fun rumors flying in between hearing that a presidential address had been called. We(and by we I mean myself and all the other politicos I talk to and had been chatting with on Twitter) were wondering just what in the FUCK would cause a surprise presidential address to the nation fairly late on a Sunday night, because that's only a little bit unprecedented. Then the journalists started leaking tidbits. It was not related to Libya(and there's been a few big deaths in Libya recently too). It was related to national security. Then someone tweeted that the president was going to announce that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. That's about when it made the NYT website too.
I did not think I was going to spend my evening hearing that. Honestly, I didn't think I'd ever hear that news.
