¶ It took the whole length of the story for Jesse McKinley to mention the bitter child-custody battle that might have disturbed the unnamed son of neo-Nazi Jeff Hall enough to make him shoot his father dead. What this story is doing on the front page of the Times is beyond us — unless, that is, it’s another Idiocracy alert. ¶ Westie gangleader Jimmy McElroy died recently in prison (sentence: “forever and a day”) but got a nice send-off Holy Cross, just off Times Square, occasioning an hommage à la manière de Joseph Mitchell by Jim Dwyer. ¶ Omar bin Laden and three of his brothers have “lashed out” at President Obama for killing their unarmed father. In a statement that, if not quite politely phrased, was presumably politely delivered, Mr bin Laden reminds us that he disavowed his father’s violent undertakings; by the same token, he feels that his father ought to have stood trial. We agree, although we’re glad for Barack Obama’s political career that  that is not what happened. What we’d really like to see is the complete destruction of Pakistan’s military resources. We paid for it, after all, and it would send a message to other potentially perfidious allies.
