North Korea seriously misunderstands Memorial Day

I woke up this memorial day to news abounding on North Korea’s provocative missile launch and I must say, could we please give North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il what he really wants: a Hollywood movie deal. It would be refreshing to see the pariah leader make a two-hour bomb as opposed to a short-range one. Maybe even convince Judd Apatow to produce and Seth Rogan to star in, Super Juche.

The international community condemned the missile launch. Well, Russia actually expressed concern. Really, concern? I believe you express concern when one falls down or bumps their head, not when a dictatorial leader launches a missile. There are some that construe the launch as a direct message to Washington, which has devoted much of its focus to dealing with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Last year, a lot of people from Seoul and Washington visited Pyongyang telling Kim and his people that once Obama was in the White House, the U.S. was going to be a totally different entity to deal with," said Lee Dong-bok, a senior associate in Seoul for the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Adding,"but it's not working out that way. That's the reason North Korea is acting in such an erratic manner. "


("Just in case you forgot, I am still here and even a bigger dick than before. Now who is down for a round of strip missile launch?")

Michael Steele pulls back calling the Democratic Party the democratic socialist party.

Occasional politician and RNC spokesman by day and hip-hop legend by night, Michael Steele recently issued a memo opposing the renaming of the republican party because it would "accomplish little than to give the media and our opponents the opportunity to mischaracterize Republicans."


Mischaracterize the party of fiscally irresponsible, manichean, dogmatic, trollish authoritarian, jingoistic, war and fear mongering, bigoted bible thumping, socially and culturally backward, queer bashing, global warming denying, eco-anarchist, AK-47 touting Limbaughts?? We certainly wouldn't want to put a negative spin on that. Finding a pragmatic and sound solution to the massive global economic crisis invidiously sabotaging the economic well-being of every American through reasoned debate and consensus-building is, quite seemingly, out of the question. Who has the time for such frivilous matters when the republican sub-committee on a national security is still trying to reach a decision on whether Dijion mustard on burgers constitutes treason.
