NOT SO FAST. STOP THE PRESSES. THE JAPANESE PRESS IS REPORTING THE DEAL HAS FALLEN THROUGH, DUE TO DIFFERING INTERPRETATIONS FROM THE NORTH KOREAN DELEGATE SIDE AND THE (DESPERATE FOR AN ELECTION YEAR "VICTORY") US SIDE. NO SOONER HAD THE INK DRIED, THAN THE DIFFERENCE IN DEFINITIONS EMERGE. Breaking, just a few ago on Japanese news here, under analysis section. (They are the least fooled about what a "deal" with North Korea means.

3:00 am phone call ...

0bama: [ring ring ring] "hello?"

Hillary: "Sorry to bother you"

0bama: "oh no problem, I was awake"

Hillary: "worried about this North Korean deal?"

0bama: "no, Michele's finishing off a plate of ribs"

Hillary: "at 3:00 AM?!?"

0bama: "hey, you have your crisis, she's got hers"

Hillary: "omg...well we have a problem"

0bama: "well, ok. 'sup?"

Hillary: "the Japanese media is reporting that the agreement with North Korea is already down the tubes"

0bama: "how many Americans know Japanese?"

Hillary: "hell, I dunno, but probably not very many"

0bama: "so no problem, what your fellow ignorant Americans don't know won't bother them"

Hillary: "is that your answer?"

0bama: "either that or we send Michele to Pyongyang to start wolfing down some of Kim Jong Un's elaborate buffet and salad bars"

Hillary: "oh HELL no, you want to start a war?"
