North Korea wants some attention. Only an idiot would believe North Korea would give up Nukes. Why should they when the US gives them to Isreal and other friends without the United Nations approval.

The World is laughing again at the US homeland security. First breast milk was a weapon now it's piercing on your body. Terrorist with guns and bombs can walk right on in without a problem but Americans are now the enemy. No wonder people don't want to vacation in the US anymore. I loved the respect and kindness I was shown while visiting Canada.

Good news as the Feds give taxpayers money to help investment firms but refuse to help taxpayers with their foreclosures. Now don't forget to pay your US taxes by April 15th or it's off to Gitmo you will go.

SPB I learned Money Laundering 101.
Now the Pentagon uses a 22 year old with a fake business to funnel 300 million in a contract. Yes as the Feds are looking at bringing down Gov. Spitzer and Siegelman our Pentagon is funneling money at a fast rate. Nice trick as the American people are yelling for Spitzer to be removed and the Media is helping the criminals by allowing full continued coverage, We're being robbed blind by our own Government. Americans don't even know it until the taxes go up and then the Media/White House will blame Bill Clinton for the problems.
