Back to politics
So, it seems that North Korea may have tested an atomic warhead. The underground explosion was detected by sensors and now (big suprise) China is now very upset! I think they are as worried about the crazy Mr. Kim as anyone else, but it will be the US who will spearhead the UN effort to try and so something about this. I think we should just sit back and take a full defensive posture on the whole matter and see how the rest of the world reacts. Let China and France work things out. I will speak more on this later.
I was also reading one of my favorite political blogs, From Birk to Kirk, and was pondering the American two-party system. It seems that whenever a third political party is formed it is headed by some rich guy who want to be president because he is sure that the is a simple answer to all our problems. But, when these parties do become a real political force, it also draws the other two parties back to the center. "See, we can be fair to all Americans."
I think we need that right now. It should be started now so that in the next general election, it can run people for Congress, not the Presidency. Perot had the right idea, he just tried too hard to make himself leader of the country, rather than the leader of a political party. Build a small team of supporters in the House, then go for a Senate seat. Now you have some real political clout to sway a vote or two. Then start thinking about an executive post after you have established your credibility.
Hey, it could happen

Mr. Don:
Thanks for visiting my blog and making comments. I am so pressed between my work, my daughter, my wife, my home, and my extracurriculars that I rarely take time to thank those who read my work.
I blog because since 9/11 I have been stuck at a desk doing routine lawyering while the world seems to be contemplating if not planning its own destruction. My blog is my outlet, along with teaching RCIA and moral theology at my parish.
My biggest fear is that country and the world are so polarized that no one is listening. I'll try nevertheless. I do find it remarkable that both the left and the right have become as looney as they are.
I love the doctored/Reutered photo of Kim il-Jong in Slim Pickens' place. I got it from Blackfive, who got it somewhere else.
Best wishes, Tertium Quid
I think you are completely right, let France get its feet wet for a change and wipe the smirk off of the face of Jaque the jerk. BUT, it wont happen, cuz America will be accused of just sitting on our hands and then when we clean up the mess - hello Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afganistan, and any other country that France has had dealing with. They could'nt/would'nt fight Hitler at first either - then the men cried in the streets when they drove the tanks through. To late then..
btw - miss you at SW wedge :)
north korea is a batshit crazy place.
iran scares me too.
it would appear that the media is beginning to sell us on the idea that iran needs a punch on the nose........
i`m suprised that we aren`t there already.
