Big News Day

I woke up today and was greeted with the most wonderful news of the week. North Korea decided to give up nukes and join the six-party talks. The White House says it still has to see whether they stick to their promise. This follows Rice's talks in Asia with nation-heads and the UN's food shipment refusal to North Korea.

NASA has asked for $104 Billion to go back to the moon, build a new "Apollo-like" spacecraft, and venture to Mars by 2020. Now is not the time to be ploppin' more money into a space plan. The last time they asked was not the time either. Hopefully, the President says wait it out. Now is not the time. On a lighter note... If we went to the moon once and found that it was not made of cheese, why are we going back? And if Jupiter's moons have names, why doesn't ours? Who owns the moon? Can America claim it? End moon rant.

Afghanistan moves closer to democracy by celebrating another election. Despite the violence, 50% of eligible citizens turned out to give their say.

Louis Farrakhan claims he heard from a very reliable source the levee in New Orleans was blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part of town dry. Wow.
