Considering he has over 50 brothers and sisters, there's lots more "in-laws" to get.

Same here. I was thinking Biden "plugged out" after lauding Obama with praise.

Given this guy's activities, e.g, funding Abu Sayyaf, I think it's a good thing that he was taken out.

Taken out by thieves, but taken out all the same.

Maybe some of the "mines" he worked should be checked for squatters...

I'd say something tacky but the Admin Mod would probably pull it.
