Picked this book up on a whim and am about 2/3rds through it. Damn. Best book I’ve read in a long time. Painfully good actually.

Should Anthony Wiener resign?

From The Atlantic Wire:

Next month, a 67-year-old salvage diver from Fallbrook, California will journey to the North Arabian Sea to comb the depths of the ocean in search of the body of Osama bin Laden. It’s a very expensive obsession this man has, and it made him very popular in the national and local media this weekend. Here’s what we know about Bill Warren, the Osama hunter who refuses to give up.

Who is this guy? He’s a self-proclaimed “expert underwater treasure hunter.” According to the New York Post, he has found “more than 200 wrecks” and is “confident he can find bin Laden’s body.” He told CNN that “there’s no treasure that’s ever eluded him, and doesn’t expect bin Laden’s corpse to be the first.” He insisted, “There’s never been a shipwreck I didn’t find.”
