2. Check out his other columns
I think I e-mailed this guy once and got a nice e-mail back, too. I just sent him another one. That's a brilliant piece.

8. Excellent piece!
This is funny!

If I were to bump into Osama at Starbucks this afternoon, it would be my duty to buy him a latte and a Halloween mask and send him back into hiding
