Cinco de Mayo Drunk Driving Check Points: The Los Angeles Police Department set up a series of drunken driving checkpoints and saturation patrols in connection with Cinco de Mayo, which authorities say prompts a dramatic increase in drunken driving. Too bad! Something like that could shatter the holiday’s reputation as a solemn day of prayer and reflection.

Osama bin Laden Fretted About Image Control: New documents released by the State Department show that during his last months holed up in a villa in Pakistan, one of the concerns on Osama bin Laden's mind was image control, fearing that Al-Qaida's branches and allies were making the terror network look bad in the eyes of the world. Yea, it’d be a damn shame if anyone did something to tarnish the good name of an organization like that.

It just cracks me up that Osama bin Laden was worried about image and brand control. He should have hired a PR firm for his affairs.
That is a hoot, but to be honest, he was simply concerned he was losing favor in the Arab world because of all the deaths he caused.
