If there’s one thing that Americans are good at, it’s black humor…and the death of Osama bin-Laden has Comic-Americans taking to Twitter and unleashing almost 10 years of pent-up frustration in epic form. Rather than hold forth on my admiration for those who can convert tragedy into humor, I thought I’d just let y’all it enjoy it for yourselves….
