Caught Between Rev. Moon And New York City

The sexy little tart known as the DPRK that America is wooing has batted her eyes and wiggled her hips - she might be interested in a drink after work, according to the New York Times (reg’t required).

WASHINGTON, June 7 - The United States and China said today that North Korea has committed itself to eventually returning to multinational negotiations over its nuclear program, but officials said the North had set no date. That left both American and Asian officials wondering whether Pyongyang was simply attempting to defuse talk of going to the United Nations for sanctions.

The North Korean statements, after a yearlong suspension in the six-nation talks, came in a meeting Monday in New York between the North’s representatives to the United Nations and two American diplomats, Joseph DeTrani and Jim Foster. But after a day of conflicting signals in Washington about what the North Koreans actually said, and an optimistic prediction by China’s representative to the United Nations that talks would resume “in the next couple of weeks,” both American and Asian officials expressed caution.

Next thing you know, they’ll be crowning Kim Jong-Il in a Senate office building.

    Not really sure what Rev. Moon has to do with any of this, but here’s a direct NYT link:

    Too bad it’s only a threesome.

    I was in the shower, thinking about this news, when it struck me that it was like a romance.

    Because all of this was happening in New York City, I got the theme to “Arthur” in my head and realized what a hoot it would be to allude to the line, “When you get stuck between the moon and New York City, the best that you can do, is fall in love.”

    Then the Rev. Moon got in my head and..Presto! a funny play on words.

    So, there really isn’t much connection, but you can never have too many gratuitous mentions of the Rev. Moon and his..uh…odd behavior.

    Shelton wrote, “I was in the shower, thinking about this news, when it struck me that it was like a romance.”

    This reminds me of the classic line in the 70s British comedy _The Two Ronnies_, where Ronny Corbett (or was it Ronny Barker) would introduce his monologue by saying, “I was sitting in the bathtub, contemplating the wonder of God’s creation, when….”

    B. Mugabe?€™s ritual destruction of the farms and return to barbarism is endangering the people of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, and other countries that used to buy food from Rhodesia. There is a potential for millions to starve; and the growing unrest as food shortages create other tensions will spread war and disease?€?

    Mugabe, as nasty as he is, is no worse several other African goons ruling their countries. The only reason that douchbag collects the Western attention is that he’s screwing White (English-descendent, it seems) farmers, which also hurts the African natives. He’s doing nothing like the Arab Sudanese “janjaweed” is doing. As for neighboring countries of Zimbabwe, they seem to be doing pretty decent by adopting the White farmers and improving their own farming productivities.

    That’s the way to do it. Show the Zimbaweans what they are losing.
