#1 The drug trafficking charge is laughable. The NKORs generate much of their hard currency selling and transporting heroin via diplomatic pouches.

#2 The next G-8 conference should be scheduled for Pyongyang. Let the "democratic international organisations, progressive anti-war peace organisations, justice-loving individual figures and lawyers" go there where they will be happy.

Then cancel the conference and their passports.

#3 (holding card in air) - 3.0

Geez, guys, not even the obligatory "imperialist capitalist running dogs" or "supremacy of the army-based policy" barbs? Must be the normal speechwriter's vacation week.

#4 A body calling itself the Pyongyang International Tribunal on US Crimes in Korea said the US leaders and their aides were guilty of crimes during the 1950-53 conflict.

No problem! We'll just dig up ol' Harry and let him give the NKs hell.....again.

#6 Found some of their comments:
"The U.S. government must make an official apology for all its criminal acts in Korea, and make due compensation for physical, mental and material losses inflicted upon the Korean people," North Korea's KCNA news agency quoted the verdict as saying. Those responsible for the "crimes" should "be sentenced to criminal punishment" and the U.S. Congress should "investigate and address this issue," it said. The tribunal also repeated Pyongyang's official position that Washington "abandon its hostile policy towards the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), sign a non-aggression treaty with it, and settle peace issues in bilateral talks. The verdict calls for the United States to immediately withdraw its 37,000 troops in the South and end political pressure, sanctions and "psychological warfare" against North Korea, KCNA reported.
"The U.S. provoked the Korean War and has made persistent attempts to ignite another war," said the Pyongyang indictment, which also accused U.S. presidents of drug trafficking, human rights abuses and violating nuclear disarmament agreements. North Korea calls July 27 the "Day of Victory in the Great Fatherland Liberation War", and KCNA says the anniversary is being celebrated as far away as Uganda and Peru.

#7 [Uncle Sam stifles a yawn while listening to the speeches. Then he turns to an aide and asks how things are with the air wings on Guam.]

#9 Depends on the size of the diplo pouch. Are there any standards on the size of things shipped via diplomatic cover?

#11 The best way for them to generate a lot of cash is to get with the Nigerians and learn their mail scam. Then start a Ponzi scheme dealing with any real or imagined "liberal cause" (If it mentions George Bush as an evil villian in the title they'll make money hand over fist). Then when the well runs dry. The liberal loonies will be to busy forming a committee on "Why they duped us and how those evil Republicans were involved."

Hell, I read today that Eric Roberts...

(Who?)

Julia Roberts brother.

(She has a brother?)

You know the actor? (Blank stare)

The D grade movie actor. (Blank stare)

Nevermind. Anyways, he was on a radio program (The Medved Show or something) and blamed the Republicans for that old man running over and killing all of those people the other day.

Kim, Baby. With liberals like him it's like taking Kimche from a baby!

#13 We should bomb North Korea, night and day, relentlessly. Drop pennies. Takes a LONG time to get enough of them, but everybody but Kim will be so busy digging them out of the ground they can't do anything else. Then they can buy whatever they want from SOUTH Korea. Kim won't last past the first month.
