Worst… father son gift… ever.

kimjongilpuppet1. Kim Jong Il chooses son as successor
Il:  “Here my son, who is currently living a lavish lifestyle in Switzerland befriending the children of diplomats from the West… take this country of mine that is so desperate for attention that we pursue nuclear arms even though much of our population is starving.”
Un: “Gee whiz Pops… ummm… thanks.”
(From the Washington Post)

2. The Scenarios for a post-America Future - Not to say the country is going to collapse… more like, in the next century all of the progress and cutting edge stuff won’t be happening exclusively in the 50 states.  The future will hold this: “The gold standards of global excellence are scattered around the planet. “  So… now that we’re no longer going to be the only game in town, what can we expect?  (From Foreign Policy Magazine)

3. Regulating the Pubs in a Nanny State - I thought drinking in the UK was supposed to be a time honored tradition.  The regulations are sucking all the fun out of it.  Or, just creating a bunch of irresponsible know-nothings who when given the opportunity will drink (with regulations of course) until they can’t see then stumble out onto the street.  (From Reason Magazine)

4. Review of : “Renegade – The Making of a President By: Richard Wolffe – Saw him on MSNBC this morning doing an interview about the book.  It looks pretty good.  (From the Washington Post)

5. And by the way, Why am I starting to  like this show? – Morning Joe on MSNBC can irritate the ever living daylights out of me.  It can sound so hollow, so fake, it can be such a poser of a program.  Emotions can flare genuinely, or worse yet… in a fake pre-planned kind of way.  Conflict for conflict’s sake makes my skin crawl.  Mika Brzezinski’s delivery can sometimes make me cringe, and the show… even though it claims to be different than the rest… can sometimes feel like info-tainment.  But when I’m on the treadmill at the gym and SportsCenter is on a commercial break, I’ll flip over to it and stay.  And I’ll enjoy it.  Like, a lot.  (From Morning Joe and MSNBC)
