...opening gambit to test a new administration in Washington, Pyongyang is being typically audacious. The North Korean government probably noted with interest that in its immediate reaction, the White House insisted that the North "abandon the development of weapons of mass destruction."

Even if the songs aren’t initially easy...
...intriguing to me that so many find the opposition to Obama incomprehensible. My gut reaction to this dissent was disbelief: Notre Dame affiliates had a lot of nerve to protest the president’s appearance as I searched Matt Lauer on Wikipedia and prayed that I might still catch a glimpse of Michelle Obama (and her phenomenal biceps) at commencement. I can only hope that Steven Chu is equally toned...
