Gay Pride Parade

You can't miss all the news stories about Gay Pride parades all over the place. Can anyone explain "gay pride" to me? I'm attracted to the opposite sex, but that's just something that's true about me. I wouldn't say I'm proud of it, anymore than the fact that I like to watch Scrubs. You won't see me in a Scrubs Pride parade anytime soon, or a Hetero Pride parade either for that matter. I must be missing something.

North Korea To Face Consequences

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton today warned North Korea that they will face consequences for their "provocative and belligerent" actions. I think North Korea faces a politically correct type of discipline that they will not be able to bear. It takes a village to rein in a rogue nation, which is why other nations around the world are being contacted. Already the North has received a verbal warning from Clinton, not to mention both a verbal warning and and a stern look from President Barack Obama for having tested atomic bombs and firing missiles. That'll teach 'em. I feel good about having an author on our side. She can draw on her writing experience for more strong warnings if North Korea fails to get in line. I can almost hear the two of them saying, "Don't you do it. Do not do it. Okay you did it. But you better not do it again. Do NOT do it again."

I'd wager the consequences in store for Pyongyang for their insolence include further warnings from Clinton of grave consequences, even sterner looks from Obama on TV and online news pages, reminders that isolation is where they're headed and not inclusion, and - as a last resort - increased aid. A North Korean newspaper, the Minju Joson, said in an editorial, "...the U.S. sanctions policy toward North Korea is like striking a rock with a rotten egg". Meanwhile, the rest of the world is holding to their strategy of waiting for the U.S. to take care of the problem, then complaining that America is not the world's policeman. Person. Whatever. What an exciting time to be alive!

L.A. Fast Food Ban

This is so funny!
"The Los Angeles City Council has approved a one-year moratorium on new fast-food restaurants in a low-income area of the city." Ha ha. They should have gone on television and said, "Hey kids, we know you like burgers & fries, but we don't want you to have them anymore. We're only going to let more expensive, sit-down restaurants come in. We'll decide what you want from now on, because you're too dumb and we're smarter than you." Talk about L.A. Weight Loss!

As if the ban itself isn't imposition enough, it's in a "low income area of the city". What sit-down restaurant is going to be cheaper than fast food? I think the city council's inability to get over itself is funnier than most sit-coms. This kind of thing should happen more often, and it should be on TV during prime time. Then stay tuned for "Mass Transit" and find out where we'll allow you to go!
Social engineering rocks!
