What you might have missed: A wrapup of the Weekend

If you had better things to do this past weekend than watch the news, which I hope you did, then you missed the Dear Leader in North Korea throwing the world an underground fireworks show. And everyone who grew up after the 80s and without the Soviet Union brooding over everyone with their own nukes, you can be excited about the fact that there is again a very sane man with his finger on the doomsday button. By very sane man, I mean complete freaking nutjob. For those of you who have never seen or heard of Kim Jong Il until now, please consult Team America and Mad TV's The Kim Jong Il Show. For comedic parodies, they are surprisingly accurate.
Glenn Beck, host of radio and television's The Glenn Beck Program posited an interesting theory on tonight's CNN Headline News edition. Beck reminded viewers that the last time North Korea fired off missiles, it was a mere matter of days before Hezbollah and Israel came to blows; he thinks that we should all not take our attention too far away from the Middle East this time. Let us not forget that Iran and North Korea are on cordial terms at worst and completely in cahoots at worst (Iranian diplomats attended the July 4 tests of the Tapodong missiles). Kudos to Beck for keeping an eye on the Middle East for all of us, because it seems radical Islam is a topic no other news outlet is willing to touch these days. Just because it is not on the news does not mean it is not happening or it went away!
Speaking of radical Islam and keeping us informed about it, check out the trailer for the new movie Obsession at their website. The material is simply fascinating and will not be seen on any major media outlets, unfortunately. It looks as if the creators have done their homework and put together a stellar piece on the true motive of radical Muslims: destruction of the West.
On Friday, in a ridiculous excuse for an interview, Bill Maher, on his show Real Time, pitched batting practice to John Kerry. Nothing new there, as Maher has always pretended to be an impartial figure who we all know stumps for the left. This segment was a new low though, as Kerry made a classless reference to killing George Bush. Assassination is not something to take lightly, but I gues since Kerry was on HBO, no one cares. Last time I checked, speaking about killing our President qualified as a criminal offense. Kerry also spent quite a bit of time making revisionist statements regarding his failed run for the White House in 2004, some that would make anyone alive during that campaign raise an eyebrow. Make no mistake, Kerry wants to run againin 2008. And let me save you a lot of heartbreak and letdown, John, and break the news to you: There may be a lot of voters suffering buyers remorse over Dubya, but they already had the opportunity to pick you and chose not to. Get over it, move on with your life, and go build houses with Jimmy Carte
