William Gibson has the first intelligent comment I’ve read on Osama’s address last week:

It gets harder, the more I think about it, to see [the address] causing many of the remaining pool of undecided US voters to go Bush. I think OBL needed a logo moment, though, in terms of the ongoing validity of his global brand, and look what he’s been able to pull off, with virtually no outlay: The world’s full attention, as both candidates drop everything to respond.

You know who would’ve completely gotten OBL? Andy Warhol.
