Off the wires.

"I think you had better apologize pretty quickly for that comment."

I'll apologize for sarcasm when Bill Clinton apologizes for lying.

[mass55th]

"yep...his was certainly the stoopid comment of the day."

The comment was made by a female if you need to know. And it was sarcasm. Maybe I needed to explain that.

[mass55th]

"I agree with the other two posters. Your juvenile comment is in poor taste and offensive."

Thanks. You made an old lady feel younger. It was sarcasm.

Hey your only as old as you feel:-) I'm 31 goin on 18 myself. I just object to threats against our seat of government no matter how much I object to some of the things it does, even if it is in sarcasm. Have a Blessed Day!

...didn't really need to know the gender correction, but pardon the mistaken assumption anyway.

However, even with an "/sarcasm" tag added...um....still a recklessly unfunny comment on your part.

...just sayin'

DPRK is pronounced "De Prick"

Maybe, we should start testing our weapons near to those testing theirs. Six times a week, I get a "monthly" test on my tv of our emergency systems. Maybe we need to test our national defense systems more often!

"Hey your only as old as you feel:-) I'm 31 goin on 18 myself...Have a Blessed Day!"

You too. I'd say I enjoyed being spanked by someone young enough to be my own kid, but I'm afraid it would be taken the wrong way :-)

Meanwhile the turncoats on "our side" call for Hastert to resign and for the GOP to be "taught a lesson". Don't they get what will happen this this nation if the Democrats win? Have they taken complete leave of their senses?

In a word - YES!

[RightWhale]

This is actually good news and a positive development. N Kor has developed enough respect for the world community to make an announcement beforehand.

North Korea says it will conduct nuclear test

The Clintons and Mad Halfbright are toasting champagne tonight.

[kinghorse]

It'll only get covered if it goes off in some old drunk queen's rear.

"No, we won't do anything about this or Iran's nukes either. I suspect the U.S. government is resigned to the fact of a nuclear-armed NK and Iran."

According to the CIA, they had the bomb since 1994. This is really nothing new.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Send nukes to Taiwan.

End of problem.

[Dosa26]

but I'm afraid it would be taken the wrong way :-)

As an 18YO I would certainly take it in the wrong way;-)

[BJClinton]

Is the SK minister a leftist like the current admin or more conservative like the soon-to-be ruling party? If he's a lefty expect some big UN concessions to Li'l Kim.

What's it take to get a little attention these days?

Threaten to test a nuclear device?

North Korea said Tuesday October 3, 2006, it will conduct a nuclear test to bolster its self-defense against what it calls increasing U.S. hostility toward the communist regime _ the strongest blow yet to efforts to convince the North to give up its drive for nuclear weapons.
