Hey Barack, Press Coverage Ain’t Respect »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 18, 2009 in Current Affairs, France, G20, Hugo Chavez, Nicolas Sarkozy, North Korea, Venezuela | 336 Comments

Aretha sang about it, but Barack can’t find it. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. On every continent, the flashbulbs pop and the ink runs, but President Barack Obama is getting schooled by the world’s leaders and tyrants alike–from Sarkozy to Lulu to Chavez to Kim Jong Il–who clearly neither respect nor fear him or our country.

Nuke Provocation Is The Thing This Year.   

The rogue Kim Jong Il regime of North Korea is a proliferator for hire — Have Evil, Will Travel — and it only moves when there is money in it.  The apparent sudden announcement by the Kim regime that it is turning out the IAEA inspectors, walking [...]

Splish Splash: North Korea’s Missile Took a Bath »

By Pat Racimora on Apr 7, 2009 in North Korea | 51 Comments

On April 5, North Korea’s so-called “Kwangmyongsong-2 Communications Satellite” (yeah, right—most believe it is actually an upgraded version of the Taepodong-2 military missile) failed to reach orbit, instead dumping two satellite-carrying stages into the Pacific Ocean. This is North Korea’s third botched attempt to launch a long-range missile.

A Worthy Cause–Banning Nuclear Weapons »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 5, 2009 in North Korea, Nuclear weapons | 65 Comments

Many experts on global conflict and dangers, and he/she will tell you that the number one threat to the world is not just the proliferation but the existence of nuclear weapons.

Gates: We’re Powerless to Stop No. Korea’s Missile Launch »

By SusanUnPC on Mar 29, 2009 in North Korea, President Barack Obama, Robert Gates, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton | 24 Comments

(After his swift pop-ups on the Sunday talk shows, PBO’s probably back at Camp David working out and planning to watch college basketball games, [...]

HILLARY on MEXICO
(Remember how Greta’s husband was actively involved in Hillary’s campaign, and a major donor as well? Greta can’t say it, of course, but I’ve always sensed — it’s always been clear to me — that Greta deeply admires Hillary and never misses a chance to report on our superb Secretary of State. I [...]

If I may take a break from my 401 k plunging, and the DOW plunging again, and North Korea looking to blow us to smithereens, I’d like to share a story with you. Here goes:
