Slovenly female behavior isn't? Give it like a woman; take it like a man. ...or become a herbivore.

A nice way to put it. I don't know what the hell is so "velvety" about Ahmadinejad gunning down the opposition in the streets.

The human misery, starvation of millions and imprisonment of innocents in NK should be enough to pull the plug on all trade with that country now.
On June 25th 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea in an attempt to unify Korea under the leadership of Kim II Sung. Most would agree that invading SK qualifies as "doing something" to another country.

Ah... Hello? Anyone there from the 5 "negotiating parties"?? How do you negotiate with a paranoid maniac in his hermit kingdom who wants to shower down fire on you without mercy? Ya s'poze there might be a remote possibility that North Korea doesn't want to talk? Actions speak louder than words...like the seismic thumb print of a nuke going off in your back yard, like the missiles NK is getting ready to fire over the Pacific in the direction of Japan. While the "negotiators" talk about talking at the bargaining table, NK is enriching more nuclear material under the table.

Iranian repression of human expression since Nov 4 1979 had to go somewhere. Now that the lid of credibility has been blown off of "divine" government, there will be no putting it back on. “Death to Khamenei!“— this may be the ultimate showdown of god and government against pissed off fearless Iranians.

Starviking:
When the economic laws of survival of the fittest are ignored to prop up banks that caused this financial crisis, or to give extravagant bonuses to AIG employees, to make healthcare "free" to everyone on the globe; it is all a form of socialism, and socialism is government knowing how to do everything better than free markets and free people ever could. Socialism is the suckling of successful market economics that one day becomes the 400 pound gorilla in your living room.
Socialism is a top down one size fits all cookie-cutter approach to market economics on the continuum to communism, which is inherently antithetical to freedom. Socialists always think they can manage markets and free people better than supply and demand.
Socialism has no idea how to create wealth, only spend it on programs that need to continually justify their existence by increased spending. Socialism never saw an emergency it didn't like, because its goal is to nurture a dependent slave State. The billions and billions in debt incurred by bloated socialist states like California and New York are testimony to the bankrupt nature of feel good myopic social welfare programs on the liberal road to terminal stupidity.
We the people are not so hoodwinked by the outright theft and acts of treason perpetrated against us by complicit unelected bureaucrats and banksters, that we should ignoantly believe bailout-Oba-mania is merely altruistic messianic medicine to save us all from ourselves.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, get a life! Ethics are situational, especially for government, and this fly was treated quite ethically in this situation. In fact, I think its the first presidential action I can actually agree with Obama taking. Now if he could have just said something metaphorical about Osama or North Korea as he "got the sucker", it would have been all the better. Ron Reagan woulda.
“Now, where were we?” Evolution did not favor the fly's poor reflexes in this case. However, natural selection may not favor Obama either if he doesn't stop the interview to wash the fly smoosh off his hands next time.

With the internatonal attention Kim wanted firmly focused on NK now, what a great time time stage more provocative brinksmanship and call Obama's bluff. Kim may be doing this preemptively to stave off dissent in the ranks of his malnourished army.
Should China tighten the reigns on NK, sanctions and ship searches for weapons may ultimately have the effect at some point of backing NK into a corner and the North's military readiness will be degraded. This could push NK to the point of no return, where they decide to use the military option, or loose it.

Yup, nothing much. Just a few dozen stealth bombers and a few thousand cruise missiles that could turn Kim's nuclear ambitions around. I don't think NK's neighbors will sit around waiting for too long if he keeps up the prattle. Capitalism in depression loves a good war.

Our greatest strength is only as strong as its weakest link. Take away the individual drive of Americans and you have socialism. This economic monoculture of global "unity" with other nations has made the severity of this meltdown into the train wreck that it is. Interdependent economies travelling at the speed of junk credit caused this problem. Globalization of every aspect of manufacturing, banking and micro managed trade deals have exported and destroyed American jobs just so Wall Street can have its myopic quarterly profits.
"The gig is up" is in reference the scammers who have sold out our nation at the top. Nothing to do with the productivity of America.
This is pathetic. If having socialism rammed down your throat is "tolerance", Id hate to see what tyranny looks like. Some people would rather fight than be a zombified cool-aid drinking Obamaphile.

600,000, or 6,000,000 Obamjobs?
It doesn't matter how many jobs the govt promises to "create" from borrowed money, and it matters not how much phony money they print. The trade deficit alone is 1.5 billion a day and the national debt is to the tune of 4.7 billion a day. Those who think they can remake the economy with more junk money have their heads in a dark hole. As the dollar goes south, these twin deficits will explode like twin towers. As the banksters buy gold mines in S. Africa with all the bailout taxpayer cash, credit card consumers living in the promised land are left living on borrowed time and monetary coupons in an unsustainable state of denial. The gig is up.
