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
