If it was a snake it wouldda bit me!

I've figured out the best solution to Germanys Election Problem!

Its so obvious I dont know why no one else thought of it!

Have Schroeder and the SPD run the East side of Germany and Merkel and the CDU run the West side of Germany. Give each 2 years to improve their part of Germany, and the one with the lower unemployment rate wins!

You know, sometimes I amaze even myself.

Oh, I've also been called to do some work overseas, so blogging will be weird for the next two weeks while I transition from stateside to parts abroad.

Blogging the "road warrior" experience? maybe. I had a hell of time with the camera at the air races and getting them uploaded and presented in a decent way on the blog. I wonder if its worth the effort.

Update: North Korea now says " and bring us a shrubbery...!"

Ok - Try this one on for size. It's entirely possible that the team of North Koreans that made yesterdays deal are not the same as the ones that are today saying they want a "toaster" with the deal or its over.

Here's some things to ponder:

1. Is Kim still in charge?

2. Is there more than one "NKOR faction" at work here?

3. The Chinese made a big move to sanction this deal. This new statement is a serious affront to their credibility, how are they reacting?

4. How can anyone seriously think we should be working on diplomatic channels with these whack jobs, much less giving them a reactor?

5. Money Laundering?

North Korea's government is producing high-quality counterfeit $100 bills and is working with criminal groups in China to sell the fake U.S. money internationally, U.S. officials say.

well this is getting very interesting.

I think we should disassemble Chernobyl and send it to them.

The reason the Chernobyl reactor was not properly contained was the failure of the Glorious People's Economic System, but the reason that it was a carbon pile reactor was more ominous. US power generation had long since switched to the far safer water-damped reactors, but at the time of the Chernobyl incident the US military was still running three pile reactors because of the isotopes they produce.
