I'm Brendan Loy, a 26-year-old graduate of USC and Notre Dame now living and working in Knoxville, Tennessee. My wife Becky and I are brand-new parents of a
beautiful baby girl, born on New Year's Eve.
I'm a big-time sports fan, a politics, media & law junkie, an astronomy buff, a weather nerd, an Apple aficionado, a
Lord of the Rings and
Harry Potter fanatic, and an all-around dork. My blog is best-known for its
coverage of Hurricane Katrina, but I blog about anything and everything that interests me.

I saw that about bin Laden dying his beard. I guess he was tired of getting rejected by the young hotties at the Pakistani discos.

I'm with the folks that are calling BS on this one. He's got the same background, He's wearing the same exact outfit from 3 years ago!?! It doesn't look like him either. Seems like this period in government (Bush Administration) will be studied many years from now on how they came up with a Boogeyman to scare Americans into backing whatever ridiculous legislation (Iraq, wire-tapping, unlimited government power) they pushed down our throats out of fear, and we never stood up for our rights. It's really quite amazing, because quite frankly I'd rather die than go through the indignities of our current Airport Security, which has wait times of about an hour here at LAX. And that's the LEAST important loss for most people.

It appears they hired the same guy that did the Suddam impersonations a few years back. Perhaps they just felt bad that he doesn't have a job anymore.

Sandy Underpants. I really hope that you're kidding. You really don't think that the US government is putting out these tapes.
If so, I have some tinfoil you can use to shield your home from the mind-rays.

The beard looks fake. I wonder if he has been getting chemo for this kidney disease he supposedly has?
In any case, it doesn't appear to me he is spending much time in caves in Afghanistan. I have to assume he is living quite comfortably in Pakistan or Yemen or some other "allied" country.
