We’re all screwed now, seems the little N. Koreans cannot keep they’re grimey hands out of the Uranium dump. So, now they have a ThermoNuclear Bomb, when are we gonna invade, before Iran or after? This is not good news. Minister Kim Yong Il, I hope you get radiation poisoning, and die a slow painful death as your citizens do!
By GEORGE GEDDA, WASHINGTONPOST.COM
WASHINGTON – North Korea startled a six-nation conference in China on East Asian security by announcing its intentions to formally declare its possession of nuclear weapons and to carry out a nuclear test, an administration official said Thursday. North Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Yong Il also told the gathering that his country has the means to deliver nuclear weapons, an apparent reference to the North’s highly developed missile program…According to the administration official, China’s delegate appeared visibly angry over Kim’s statement but responded in a moderate tone. Kim said his country was maintaining this position because the United States clearly had no intention of abandoning its hostile policy toward North Korea, the U.S. official said.

Mr. Bush is now in a pickle; we have to enforce our Nuclear Non-Proliferation stance, as well as, not deplete our defensive resources. Did someone make a typographic error, as Ali G stated, and mistakenly invade Iraq instead of Iran…I mean shi* we have proof of WMD production in Iran and they can walk around and be free, that’s a load of crap. Seems Mr. ElBaradei forgot to fill out the necessary forms when conspiring to blow up the free world…If we are trying to police internationally with equal opportunity and fairness, it’s the only fair choice, the non biased decision is obvious: invade already!
According to AP Sources:VIENNA, AUSTRIA – UN inspectors found traces of weapons-grade, enriched uranium in an Iranian nuclear facility, a senior diplomat said Tuesday….In a report, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohamed ElBaradei, said Iran has failed to report certain nuclear material and activities.

From: The Chronicle
I am not a fan of the Powell father/son “tool” team. Some argue that Colin Powell is a great diplomat. Ugh.. ugh… I’m calling bullshit, along with the rest of the world outside the United States, but whatever. Anyways, his son, FCC Chief Michael Powell, is way easier to deride because he was so unanimously thought of as imcompetent for not pressuring the rollout of digital and HDTV. His job was even threatened by senior Bush advisers if he couldn’t raise the national TV cap from 35 to 45 percent. And quicker than you could say “sir yes sir,” he steamrolled a 3-2 vote on June 2nd by cajoling a fellow FCC Commisioner to jump on the broadcaster bandwagon. And for that, rightfully so, he has faced public ridicule as well as a 400-21 House vote overturning his proposed legislation. So now he’s forming a task force to determine whether broadcasters should be compelled to produce more local news, in the event they can consolidate competition and produce newscasts from a centralized studio. This guy might as well be Japanese the way he backwards engineers this public policy debate. And for that… I declare Michael K. Powell a disposable douche.

From Phil HirschkornJudge: Cover creates no confusion over origin, sponsorship Fox sought to halt distribution of author-comedian Al Franken’s book.
NEW YORK (CNN) — Saying “This is an easy case,” a federal judge ruled Friday against Fox News in its lawsuit asserting that a book by liberal satirist Al Franken violates its trademarked slogan, “fair and balanced.” Fox was seeking an injunction to halt distribution of “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.” U.S. District Judge Denny Chin, after listening to about half an hour of oral arguments, said the lawsuit was “wholly without merit, both factually and legally.”

According to The SmokingGun.com: “In his latest legal affronts, so-called 20th hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui mocks the victims of the September 11 attacks, noting that the nation’s “9/11 balance sheet show a staggering 3000 deficit” in its “human resources account.” In a court filing just unsealed by federal judge (and which you’ll find here) Leonie Brinkema, Moussaoui drew a crude “WTC profit & loss account” statement that listed “3000 sons of evils” in the loss column and “19 slaves of Allah” in the profit column. The admitted Osama bin Laden disciple also wrote that victims–who he referred to as “mortgages–could “file for personal bankruptcy in the WTC or sue UBL.” While UBL is often used as shorthand for bin Laden, Moussaoui wrote that the acronym stood for “Usama Bombing Limited.” In another unsealed document, Moussaoui again attacks Frank Dunham, one of the lawyers Brinkema appointed to assist him in his defense.

I wish this wasn’t predictable, but it was. Were forcing the Iraqi people to be something they’re not: Western. Don’t get me wrong, Saddam needed to be ousted, but we obviously aren’t communicating or conveying the plight of the Iraqi people properly. Should we leave Iraq? Should we reform they’re broken hamster wheel of an economy? Bombs aren’t the answer.

Can you believe this idiot, shit I’d buy one for $75 bux too…whose selling?
From TSG: In a law enforcement first, a New York City man was arrested last week in connection with the theft of a Segway, the $5000 self-balancing scooter, The Smoking Gun has learned.
NYPD detectives arrested Yili Wang, a 24-year-old student, on a felony possession of stolen property charge (a copy of the criminal complaint can be found here). Wang was arrested August 12 outside a Queens Starbucks where he had arranged to meet a Segway expert he had met on the Internet. The expert, who was cooperating with police, had promised to help Wang get the Segway–which was without keys–operational. The hot Segway was stolen about two months ago on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a theft reported to cops by the scooter’s owner. In a TSG interview, Wang, who is known as Eddie, said that he bought the Segway for $75 from a man who was pushing, not riding, the scooter on an East Harlem sidewalk.

Looks like Tiger got his pants pulled off, and his Nike spanked, albeit by a newbie to the PGA!
Associated Press
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Shaun Micheel’s name on the trophy might look out of place alongside Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Walter Hagen. Just not this year…. ”I can’t believe this is happening to me,” Micheel said.
He wasn’t alone. Micheel arrived at Oak Hill on Tuesday just hoping to make the cut. He was No. 169 in the world ranking, winless in 163 previous starts on the PGA Tour. This year, though, that made him a perfect candidate to capture the final major. His two-stroke victory over Chad Campbell on Sunday made it a clean sweep of the Grand Slam for guys who had never won a major.

The last time that happened was 1969, the year Micheel was born.
”I was trying to win the B.C. Open a year ago this time,” Micheel said. ”A month or two ago, I was trying to keep my card. To have my name on that trophy, I don’t know what I’m thinking right now.”
