North Korea is without a doubt a very perplexing problem for the United States and the world. We do know what the UN will do - more sanctions. We don't know what the sanctions will be or whether they will work (they have obviously not worked so far or we would not have this situation on our world's hands!) Secretary of Defense Gates is in Singapore and made some statements about North Korea ... read more
I have seen the discussion back and forth between the White House and the Republicans about WHEN Judge Sotomayor will get her hearing. The White House wants by August and the Republicans say that might not be possible. While the two sides fight it out - loaded with all sorts of reasons from both that may be phoney in whole or in part - we just need to know by the First Monday in October. That is ... read more
When I try to post comments like you post, I get a message about moderating. I have no idea what that is all about - I am not moderating your comments and, as far as I know, neither is anyone else. I will find out Monday and fix. As an aside, I find the moderating message annoying. ... read more

Incidentally, the blog roll is back Monday but you can ... read more

I am throwing out the first pitch for Mets in a few weeks and I have to improve my skills. In other words, my day is a bit busy today. I had yesterday off and did such exciting things as go to the ... read more

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Friday personally sought to deflect criticism ofSupreme Court nomineeSonia Sotomayor, who finds herself under intensifying scrutiny for saying in 2001 that a female Hispanic judge would often reach a better decision than a white male judge. "I'm sure she would have restated it," Obama ... read more
I just came up with an idea. Rather than have me be the only one who is listing problems with the new website that need to be adjusted or fixed (I am sure you are also finding them as you navigate around)....and rather than having me be the only one trying to figure out what it needs or how to make it better, how about YOU posting any idea you might have? I need YOUR help!So...get ... read more

What is the US going to do about North Korea?
