N. Korea

So NK went ahead with the missile launch, which nearly everyone expected. Apparently it was, as usual, a failure. Two parts of the missile broke up over Japan and the "satellite" never made it in to orbit according to everyone but NK. It will be interesting to see how this gets handled in the global community given a depression..oh stop your happy thoughts thinking it is a recession..and the fact that the UN once again committed nothing to world peace (aka, will not send forces unless they observe to the middle-east). Obviously NK does not care one bit about sanctions. And embargoes and such only, ONLY, hurt the people of the nation, not the leadership. If you think differently, take a look at Cuba post 1950s. No citizen uprising is going to occur in NK so stop wishing and hoping world. You're going to have to deal with Jongy for a while to come. My suggestion, remove the US forces from NK and Japan. There is no reason for troops/bases there. None at all. Japan isn't going to kick off another Pearl Harbor and South Korea needs to stand on her own. Want to make more peace in the region? Stop protecting Taiwan like it is hiding from its big brother.

That all brings me to another point. In the US we love going around in the media from CNN to Fox stating how bad China is; wouldn't want to be like China, what can you expect from China, look at the Chinese leaders, etc. Yet, who do you think is FULLY FUNDING your bailout plans? China. The same people we continually ridicule. Now don't get confused, I think the country is atrocious. It's version of human rights falls somewhere between Hanibal Lectures luncheon and Jeffrey Dalmer's mid-day snack. Neither is appealing. However for a nation we continuously spy on, mock and ridicule they sure are nice about buying bonds and T-bills. Talk is one thing, walk is another. You can make all the pompous speeches you like but at the end of the day the "world" sees one thing, nations completely, 100% dependent on Communist China. We might want to address that.

The Problem: Herniated L5/S1 disc causing severe sciatica Example MRI: What is Sciatica: Sciatica causes pain, a burning sensation, numbness, or tingling radiating from the lower back and upper buttock down the back of the thigh to the back of the leg.

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
