According to newspapers, the big winner from Osama bin Laden's assassination: Newspapers!

The New York Times doubled or tripled the number of newsstand copies it printed for several markets, including New York, Washington, Boston and San Francisco. The Washington Post said it printed an additional 70,000 copies, which is about double its normal print run, excluding home subscribers. USA Today added roughly 200,000.

The Los Angeles Times printed 100,000 extra copies and kept printing plates in place "if we need to run more," said spokeswoman Nancy Sullivan. The News & Advance in Lynchburg added about 2,000 copies to its daily run of 28,000.

That said, thank you Mr. Obama, not only for taking out bin Laden, but for finally resetting our nation on a firm economic footing. As President Calvin Coolidge once famously said, "The business of America is shooting Osama bin Laden in the head." Or something.
