I was watching “The King’s Speech” (better than really good btw), while the Bin Laden news broke last night. After I extricated the disc from my Blu-ray player and inserted it into its mail-back sleeve; I activated Bobby Flay’s new show from my DVR. Expecting to see Bobby Flay and Curtis Stone on my large flat display, I was markedly thrown by the appearance of Brian Williams and other important correspondents.
Through still-teary eyes; I half-read the Headline, “Breaking News: Barack Obama to announce, Osama Bin Laden is dead.” I very nearly vomited in my popcorn bowl; as my brain somehow mis-paraphrased the actual message and processed, “Breaking news, Barack Obama is dead.” For a brief moment I recalled the exact flushed with nausea – achingly uncertain trepidation I had experienced while watching the first tower deliberately crumble to New York's hallowed terra, nearly ten years ago.
