It's the official Elvis impersonation weekend on Freemont Street here in town ...

... and I don't give a sh*t.

Look, there is an excellent History Channel documentary entitled "10 WAYS TO KILL BIN LADEN", that first aired just last month. I caught/recorded it last night. It's a fantastic program. I'd liken it to the "kill Osama" version of Bush's War. It documents the 10 organized attempts by the US government to capture/kill the most wanted man in the world, from 1998 through Tora Bora, up till more recent events. It's worth the inside look of the upgraded, classified AC-130 Gun Ship alone, but I think you'll find this a very good account and critique of the efforts to hunt him down. The near misses and unwillingness to pull the trigger on missions/men/material is bipartisan and utterly maddening to the viewer. Id call this one as a Bund "must see." Problem is I can't find a reliable source to view it online. The History Channel itself only offers it on dvd, too busy airing "Ice Road Truckers" I presume, oy.

At any rate, when you get a day off sometime in 2011 Titus, or Jambo, or even the occasional reader of this site, if any of you can find a reliable port of view a link to it here would be much appreciated.
