-THE CUNNING REALIST-: The Pop Culture Indicator: "On his Thursday night show, David Letterman brought up the subject of Osama Bin Laden. During the pre-guest monologue, he recalled 'wanted dead or alive' and wondered why Bin Laden is still free. He said it flatly and did not intend it to be funny, and no one laughed. When he finished, the audience applauded for an uncomfortably long amount of time.

Note to President Bush: the needle on the pop culture meter has hit the red warning zone. It's time for you to say something."
