Bin Laden released another tape the other day. It feels like he releases them all the time, but this was actually his first one since 2004.

I really encourage you to read the transcript of this new one, because it's just flat-out bizarre. Bin Laden comes off much less like an evil Islamic supervillian, and more like a whiny undergrad.

Among the topics covered: why capitalism sucks, why both the US political parties are the same, the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, Noam Chomsky, Michael Scheuer, real estate mortgages, and the Kyoto Accord.
