While Kim hasn't been indulging in too much saber rattling lately, he did garner some attention last week when he had his ex girlfriend and some of her dance troupe colleagues executed by firing squad. Labeled an atrocity and met with horror by most of the western world, some womens' groups questioned how it would work vis a vis the, "what's good for the goose/gander" thing. Does one have to be male, Korean and a despot to pull off that kind of clean slate solution?

Details on this topic are vague as no one on planet Earth is particularly interested in asking Kim what was up with that sh*t?

Carmen Electra, Rodman's ex-wife, when reached for comment insisted that she and Dennis parted on, "excellent terms and if that twerp gives him any ideas there'll be one less Kim in Korea."

The State Department is understandably uneasy about the idea of an American sexpot shrieking over to Korea and ripping their leader's head off. However in an aside, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel was overheard whispering, "but then again."

The civil war raging in Syria is the best example of a cosmically bad, no-win situation since our invasion of Iraq. Iraq, of course, was different… that was way back when some people thought they could believe what they were told by their leaders. There are different leaders now, but since no one has apologized for the fusillade of lies that got us into that situation, and no one has ever been held accountable for the death and cost of that fiasco, the American people can't be blamed for being a bit miffed.

Never one to miss an opportunity for a bit of grandstanding, Donald Trump is considering throwing his crown/toupee into the ring, "Syria could be a great place for a university and possibly a golf course. As president…" at that point Trump was drowned out by the cries of the camel he was sitting on.

Republican hopefuls are waiting to see how the extreme right feels about the situation. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie commented, "We think we know where Wayne LaPierre comes down on Syria, but we're waiting to see how people who feel that Americans should concentrate on shooting other Americans weigh in."

Hilary Clinton thinks that saving Syria from Syrians would be the honorable thing to do, "But I've been picking up all these sweet knitting magazines lately and it might be time for a hobby."

Republican lawmakers who were busy not attending the Martin Luther King 50th anniversary celebrations and only recently became aware of the situation were firm. "We're waiting to see what Putin does, since we all just want to do exactly the opposite of what Obama thinks is a good idea. I suspect we'll be squarely behind the homophobe, psycho," John Boehner speculated.

In a statement released by NIMH, Director Bing concluded, "Americans should really watch more porn and less news."

A cheer went up.

The couple hasn't been spotted on the red carpet together in quite some time, one could speculate that perhaps Trump's latest wife likes to be around people who are as fluent in English as she is.

Trump "University" was established in 2005 to get people's money. The problem is that anyone dumb enough to give Donald Trump money doesn't need a university, they need to repeat second grade.

NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has brought a forty million dollar lawsuit against Trump for bilking and lying. People would cough up as much as thirty five thousand dollars for a cheesy motivational speech by some unqualified nobody and then get their picture taken with a cardboard cutout of Trump….much like the one of me and the Playmate of the Year 1965. People got as much gratification out of the cardboard Trump as I got out of the cardboard playmate.

Trump claims that Schneiderman is bitter because Trump didn't contribute enough to his election campaign. Trump contributed NOTHING to Senator Belfry's campaign and the Senator isn't bitter at all.

The liberal media was all set to award a lot of points to Manning for having manned up and admitted his wrongdoing and accepted his punishment. NPR"s Lawrence Jenkman explained, "It's the "manning up" phrase. Apparently it's no longer politically correct, particularly in the transgender community, we were just trying to give credit where credit was due."

Moscow watchers have observed that political refugee Edward Snowden has been under closer surveillance than usual. "They want to know who I'm dating. It's not an issue…no one wants to date the guy who's mowing Putin's lawn," Snowden lamented.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, was asked if he was planning on becoming a woman in a gesture of solidarity with Manning and responded, "That's classified and none of your business… what's wrong with you people?"

Asked if he still had confidence in Snowden, President Putin was vehement, "I see that guy in a tutu at the Bolshoi, he's on the first plane to Washington."

Now I happen to think that Americans make the most colorful hypocrites but that's probably just national pride. There's a good-sized segment of our society that worries about the unborn. There's a tidal wave of popular culture that seems to be obsessed with the undead and there is a huge amount of people who don't give a rat's ass about the poor, sick and suffering who fall in between…but that's just us.

We don't have an exclusive on hypocrisy.

Egyptians wanted democracy and we thought, if we couldn't have a bought and paid for strongman, that it would be nice if Egypt were a democracy. The Egyptian military thought it wanted a democracy…then the wrong guy got elected.

The military fixed that and ousted Morsi creating a too hot for comfort Arab Summer,
demonstrating that they had learned a thing or two about hypocrisy from the best.

Slowly now it's easing into Arab Fall… Mubarak is getting out of jail. What will come of that is anyone's guess.

And then it will be Arab Winter.

The Moslem Brotherhood in Egypt along with a whole lot of the Arab world doesn't have any use for America and American values but they really like American money. Since we feel that problems can be dealt with by either withholding money or throwing tons of it at the thing, Arab Winter will undoubtedly include a bountiful Arab Christmas.
