Well I turned the tv off about 1:30 am, so I maybe I missed the dancing and the wild celebrations. But really, out of the total population of the US, I think only a small number of people were outside celebrating, and it didn't look all that wild to me. Just really off-key singing. Here in DC it was mostly college students.

My first reaction on seeing the news on twitter was disbelief. When I realized it was true, I admit I was happy. Not unrealistic enough to think it would make the world any safer, and conscious that it was wrong to be glad that someone is dead. But I was happy. Because I have too many horrible memories from 9/11/01 and the days that followed.

And then there's this.
