Despite scenes of intense celebration, the reality is that gatherings outside the White House, Times Square and Ground Zero have been quite small. The shock of the announcement saw people rushing out to the streets late at night to join with their fellow Americans, but the lack of any large screens for people to focus on, or any organised speakers, meant the gatherings burned out quickly and people went home. penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-us-now-wants-to-bury-the-rest-of-al-qaeda/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-us-now-wants-to-bury-the-rest-of-al-qaeda/#item5755 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:40 +0000 Chelsea Clinton is getting married and cash registers in Upstate New York are going to chime. The one day event that will be held this Saturday is estimated to cost $US2 million and I just hope she doesn’t turn up. I think she should run to the nearest airport instead and with Marc Mezvinsky in tow, hop on a plane and elope herself right out of there. But not before checking her maiden name at the door and leaving the pressure of being a Clinton, especially a Clinton on her wedding day, far, far behind. http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/chelsea-clinton-should-change-her-name/ Chelsea Clinton is getting married and cash registers in Upstate New York are going to chime.

Obama is the finest orator in a generation. His national political career was kicked off by a single speech: his keynote address to the Democratic National Convention in Boston in 2004. penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/obama-cairo-speech-that-could-make-world-safer-place/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/obama-cairo-speech-that-could-make-world-safer-place/#item251 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:40 +0000 Chelsea Clinton is getting married and cash registers in Upstate New York are going to chime.
