...this tripwire will likely become a vital part of international security in the next few years. North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il is a dying man. He has not prepared his 24-year old son and heir, Kim Jong-Un, for succession. Now, the world is stuck with a boy-king who is ill-trained to fend off power-hungry generals bred on Pyongyang’s “military first” policy. Such is the North Korea of nightmares, where nuclear weapons are not a carefully-kept international tease, but a valuable trump card in a close...

...line at the bank and I'll see a woman in front of me wearing a skirt that's a little longer-length ... kind of falling below the knee, and a cardigan that she belts over. I think, Oh, the Michelle effect. There you go. It's right there. Boy, I bet cardigan sales have gone through the roof. I think sleeveless sheaths - we're seeing many, many more of them. I think she has kind of given everyone this freedom to mix up the pieces in their wardrobe...
