This just in - from North Korea

[Daisy and Delilah]

YAY YAY YAY !!!!! I'm so happy to hear this and even happier that it happened so quickly after he intervened!! I didn't expect much but this is fabulous!!

Hopefully both these women have learned their lesson.

Now we have to go to Iran and get three other idiots freed.

Morons.

The news reports, just to clarify, are saying that there was a lot of negotiating going on lately, and likely former Pres. Clinton didn't have a whole lot to do with the actual release.

I wonder how soon the "book deal" will be signed - when they land at the airport in the US?

Wow, I never thought you were a cynical person. Are you joking?

[Grace]

They are on their way home, in the plane with President Clinton.

CNN said this has been in the works for a couple of weeks, and the North Koreans wanted him to come over.

[RICHARD]

Both work for Current TV- I have watched some of the programming on the channel and it's an "old hippie/green the earth" stuff.

Both those yahoos have had programs on before and they have been carrying around sharp sticks while traveling around the area of NK.

Do they deserve to be jailed for 12 years and hard labor? No, not really. But they should have their passports revoked for a couple of years.

What ever the U.S. gave or agreed to to get these twits out of jail will never be known. That's part of the 'transparency" of the current regime. They'll get a book deal and we will never get the straight answers we deserve.

Bill Clinton was always my favorite president. Yes my name is Monica but that is beside the point.

[Karen]

Wow, I never thought you were a cynical person. Are you joking?

I grew up with a major distrust of politicians, after all, the first memory I have involving a President is Richard Nixon.

I am not usually a cynical person, really, but when it involves politics and media, I don't really trust much of anyone to tell us the unvarnished truth.
And while I don't think the two journalists intentionally went into North Korea to be captured so they could get a book deal, I've gotta imagine one has been in the works in some publisher's head since the story first broke.

By the way, I have met Bill Clinton. He seemed like a genuinely nice, likable guy.

He seemed like a genuinely nice, likable guy.

I think thats why I voted against him twice.

[RICHARD]

"The door opened and there was President Clinton."


--------------------------

The local news just released the news that Paula Abdul will not be coming back to American Idol.

She is going to North Korea as part of a deal for the two 'journalists' that were released.

Kim Jung Il is producing a show where he will compete against himself as the next Korean Idol and he specifically asked that Paula be sent in exchange for the captured women.

Al Gore, the loser of the "Next American President" competition, would not confirm or deny the report.

Well, Nixon would do that to you.

[RICHARD]

Hey!

I just saw our intrepid reporter doing a story about Haitian gangs!

She's got on the obligatory baby blue U.N. helmet and flak jacket on, riding with some of the peacekeepers on patrol in Port Au Prince, Haiti!

SHe states that UNPKs get shot at frequently, so to get to the gang areas, she hires a private driver and that will take her into the area and show her around.

Hmmm, smart thinking!

Reporters and journalists?

Reporters usually get to hang around because they are there, often in between the two sides of the story. Most of them get permission from the people who control the ground the operate on.

Journalists, more often than not, run around the area and 'journal'-What was the Iranian gal, the one that was championing women's right in the country, doing that got her tossed in the clink?

Look, It's not really proper form to go to someone's house, look into their medicine chests, then broadcast the contents. Look at the paraonia from Iran, NK, China-So, do we really blame some backwards country, with even more backwards rules, when they get nervous because a camera/journalist are in the area?

I am all for equal rights for everyone. But, I get a little uneasy when people, especially U.S. citizens, start running around and publically shake their fingers at some government because they (Fill in the Blank) to their people.

Many of us want to get out of the Mid East, yet they want the U.S. and the world to know and to do something about the little things going on other spots.

Yep we could invade Indonesia and liberate all the slaves making tennis shoes for us, or better yet, whoever makes those cheap circuit boards in our TV sets that go south in the middle of the Super Bowl!

I wonder where the two will make a triumphant return to the job they love so well?

[lizbud]

Hopefully both these women have learned their lesson.

What lesson would that be Richard ? By the way, do you know what project they were working on when they were arrested?

Don't walk around another country with a sharp stick trying to figure out the pain tolerance of the local constabulary?



That is a picture of the signs around Area 51. You know, the UFO base. So if we post that many signs around an AFB, there are probably half as many on the SK/NK border and a whole bunch of armed people running around. I am also sure that Ding A Ling and her friend were doing something wrong-One story is that they crossed over the border to pick up rocks? As keepsakes?

Again, some journalists are way too stupid to be let out of the U.S. and too stupid to be roaming around the border area of a country that we do not see eye to eye with.

I flipped to the Current Channel and am watching Ling a dinga Ding Dong reporting from Brazil and trying to expose a slave trade...One great comment?

As the cops she hooks up with go looking for slaves, she looks into the camera and says, "I don't know where we are going with the police". Great, ride around with a bunch of cops that may take you out to the country side, have their way with you, maybe gut you like a fish after?

And no one will ever know.


I saw her sister come out and do a nice dodge on the question about how and why they were busted in NK. If they won't admit to being stupid and acting like kids-'nyah, nyah, nyah, I'm stepping on your turf!!!!!!!'-they deserved a free vakay at the NK hilton.

----------------------

What project was she working on when she got busted??

Her stay in NK has overshadowed her work-Can we send her back to finish?



Let's say that one of the transparent things that we agreed to was that we would not sanction them or make any comments that were critical of their nukes, then they drop one on Japan or Hawaii?

Seriously, notice all the news about the nuke arsenal have pretty much dropped off the radar. We were panicked around the 4th of July that NK was jacking missles into the air and now no one is paying attention?

Good thing Hawaii is far away from the West Coast. I heard that radiation poisoning really sucks.

------------------

On the tube at the moment, Ling is in China trying to access sites on the web, that the government has blocked. She plugs in some software called ULTRA REACH, then goes opening up the links.

She looks at the camera and slyly says, "I hope I don't get into any trouble!"

Again,
