Looking for a little keepsake to remember Osama bin Laden by? A contractor hired by the Pakistan government to remove the rubble of the terrorist's former hideaway is hawking thousands of bricks from the demolished three-story compound in Abbottabad. You sure can't beat the price. Shakeel Ahmed, who, fearing retribution, travels with a bodyguard, is selling them as souvenirs for less than nickel a piece. Ever since word spread, Pakistanis have been showing up to buy themselves a fiendish piece of history. Any leftover bricks, says Ahmed, will be sold at auction.

Some day we’ll be selling bricks/boards/CinderBlocks from Obama’s homes in Hawaii (allegedly), Kenya, Indonesia, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois too, and I’m looking forward to that day. I love the idea of turning these two thugs who hate our country so much into cheap tourist attractions.

I'm sure that each brick comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Baghdad Bob.

Future archaeologists will gather all of the bricks “from bin Laden’s house” and conclude that he lived in a house the size of the Biltmore Estate.

Looney Clooney will buy them all and rebuild the dwelling as a tourist attraction in Deerborn...like they rebuilt the London Bridge....a new mecca for all the Muzzies and their kin.

Can you imagine how much a liberal 1%-er would pay for one autographed by obama?

I knew the guy who torn down the building known as “Box 13”. This is the voting place where LBJ stole the senate election. I think people voted in alphabetical order. The guy said he gave one to a democrat judge and the judge acted like he’d given him a million dollars.
