Finally, Drink Recipes For Your "Osama Is Dead Party"
Finally, Drink Recipes For Your "Osama Is Dead Party"

The Gothamist has written a great article critiquing a recent "New York Post" piece about drink recipes for "Osama's death parties". The Gothamist looks at the macabre nature of the article but HPD thinks he misses a beat; he should try and think of a few other recipes than the paltry offering that "The Post" gives us.

The Post only had two, including "the Bin Laden is dead" with vodka topped off with grenadine. 

Surely, if you're drinking alcohol (something sacrilegious in Islam) you can do it a bit better to rub it in the face of America's enemies.

HPD gives you these drinks for your (ir)responsible consumption:

 

"Osama Slammer"

Shot of vodka with a dash of chocolate syrup

Slide a drop of grenadine down the glass

Quickly followed by layering Carolans - a white Irish cream on top

Will look like a brown guy with a turban and blood dripping down his head and body. 

Serve as a shot to be slammed.

 

"Osama the Cocktail"

 Straight Bacardi with a dash of Apple Schnapps

Shake over ice with cranberry and pour into a Martini glass

Place into a box and then hide for 10 years

Serve as a hide-and-seek game.

 

"Blood of Osama" 

1 shot of lemon infused vodka 

Fill rest of a high-ball glass with tomato glass

Add a sprinking of pepper

Big dash of Tabasco and chili powder

Dash of lime/lemon juice 

Little hit of Worcestershire sauce

Serve in plastic bags and tell everyone it's the blood of Osama

South Park predicted Osama's death
3 may  |  The genius of the creators of South Park apparently knows no bounds, with them even possessing scary psychic abilities. Yes, it is official, South Park predicted to a tee Osama's death years ago - even knowing that he would be shot in the head by a Navy SEAL dropping from the sky. Amazing.

President speaks on Osama bin Laden's death
2 may  |  Here President Obama announces the death of Osama bin Laden. These words and images will be seen again and again forever - similar as Obama describes when he said that "the images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory".

Laden's SEALs need hiding, Facebook knows what to do
13 may  |  By Stephen Myles

Today it has been announced by Defense-Secretary Robert Gates that security is being stepped up to protect the Navy SEALs who killed Osama Bin Laden.

The challenge has been picked up by Facebook who assures them that if they get an account with them that their privacy will be assured, as opposed to Google who Facebook tells us leaks information to the authorities. 

Julian Assange has told us that Facebook is actually the bad guy and that when WikiLeaks gets the identities of the SEALs he'll reveal them immediately, along with the identity of Santa which he says he's been sitting on for months.

A spokesmen from the Navy said that the SEALs "were as happy as Mel Gibson who is apparently back in the 'beaver', and that they just wanted more fish and places to frolic".

If you were a SEAL where would you hide from terrorists? Tell us and remember...Disqus!  . . read more

Cutting the head off LimeWire
14 may  |  By Sean Maguire

Today it has been announced that LimeWire will be forced to pay $105mil to the music industry; effectively ending them as a destroyer of copyright, file sharing and children's morals.

A statement by the U.S government says "that they are pleased with the result and are happy to add one more to the tally of pirates killed in the last month". 

Dr. Peter Cancion-Ladrón from Durham University has come out and said that like al-Qaeda, this may only represent the death of a figurehead and that musical piracy is like a hydra - cut a head off and another will quickly grow in its place.

George W. Bush was shaken at hearing this news and asked "so, how many heads does terrorism have now?"

Osama bin Laden: the personification and symbol of evil is dead
2 may  |  Osama bin Laden has been confirmed dead by President Barack Obama - sparking wild celebrations in Washington D.C and a sense that a long drawn-out chapter in world history has finally come to a close. So as practical questions of what will happen to his body, how/if al-Qaeda will retaliate and whether his killers will become famous remain unanswered; perhaps it's time to begin asking some more conceptual ones: such as, what will this symbolically mean for the U.S? - By Sean Maguire  . . read more
9/11 healing: The mothers who found forgiveness, friendship
3 may  |  Phyllis Rodriguez and Aicha el-Wafi have a powerful friendship born of unthinkable loss. Rodriguez' son was killed in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001; el-Wafi's son Zacarias Moussaoui was convicted of a role in those attacks and is serving a life sentence. In hoping to find peace, these two moms have come to understand and respect one another.

In the aftermath of Osama's death, is the central christian belief of forgiveness an appropriate attitude to take? Or is there some actions beyond forgiveness? Tell us and remember...Disqus!   . . read more

Obit to Osama: May his rest give us peace
3 may  | 
Born with a mind prone to perversion, Osama bin Laden was perhaps the biggest icon of the last decade. No other man has influenced the world, both socially and politically, as much as he did. A common presence in terrorist discourse, his greatest achievements include killing thousands of people, redefining and popularising the word "jihad" into the English lexicon and damaging the reputation of his faith for years to come. Fond of living in unreachable alcoves in unknown locations, Osama has had an everlasting effect on the minds of his contemporaries - by Sumer Dayal (UNSW, Sydney

Obama migration overhaul and arbitrary Osama
11 may  |  By Sean Maguire

Obama has announced today that he is going to work hard to ensure that people won't be able to get in to the States so easily - Sarah Ferguson apparently empathises with the illegals.

He assures us his migrant 'overhaul' won't be arbitrary and that the government will try to make sure that it will only be unskilled workers that get deported so that lowly paid jobs can be filled up by millions of unemployed Americans.

America's rich are unsure whether to celebrate.

José wont be cleaning their pool anymore but Joseph down the road will have less reason to rob them.

Osama's sons have reacted negatively to the news, saying that Obama's policies are never arbirtrary and that their father was executed without attempting to send him to trial. 

Obama commented that it wouldn't have made any difference because if they looked at Arizona's immigration policies and Guantanamo, they would see that political prisoners never get a fair trial in the U.S of A. 

What do you think of Obama's new immigration plan? Is he just pandering to Latino voters? And was Osama arbitrarily targeted? Tell us and remember....Disqus!
