As awesome of news this is, I can't wait to hear their side of the story. I especially wanna hear what these so-called "hostile acts" were that they supposedly commited.

It was for allegedly crossing the chinese/north korean border

Right, however hostile a merry band of journalists screwing around at the Tumen River can be. I've heard of situations where soldiers from the North have crossed over the border themselves to arrest people for "illegal entry."

That always cracks me up about these dictatorships/whatever that arrest journalists on allegations of espionage ('sup, Roxana Saberi?) Because when you aim to inconspicuously enter a hostile country, discretely gather information, and report back to your superior before anyone notices, a profession that involves making as many contacts and sources as possible is the perfect cover. And the international community will be pleased to have such evil-doers rounded up!

Back on Bill for a second, I'd just like to say I love this picture.

The "Aw shucks" look on Bill's face is priceless.

I'd like to admire Clinton, but every time I see him I remember Général Dallaire's account of the Rwanda genocide and I can't help but think of him as the good man who did nothing.

It doesn't negate his accomplishments, of course. It's just... well... you know.

Mongrel · « **Reply #187 on:** August 07, 2009, 03:05:22 AM »

Well, Clinton made his share of mistakes, certainly.

I just like watching a masterful play.

SCD · « **Reply #188 on:** August 07, 2009, 03:53:29 AM »

I don't think clinton's forgot about his hand in Rwanda either. I believe that he did mention it well after the fact with the words "mea culpa".

However, as accomplishments go for drama of the day, the "Clinton Tag Team", the power of marriage, etc etc...

It was fun to watch.

Anti-ACORN bill accidentally defunds Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Gumman, and every other government contractor who's facing corruption charges.

Of course, the sad part is that the government is going to backpedal on this so fast and so hard it'll give us whiplash, and of course the larger problem that Congress will only go after corrupt military contractors by accident while trying to score cheap political points. But still...this is fun.

Oh yeah, my wife showed me that last night and I forgot to post it here.

Roman Polanski finally arrested. About fucking time. Maybe they can also throw in some extra punishment for The Ninth Gate.

Dude makes a home out of a missile silo.

After reading the whole article and looking at the photos, it does have a really cool kind of feel to it.

He's lucky he got it before the deep crows nested there.

I've heard of people diving in flooded silos, which must make you look weird carrying around diving gear in Nebraska or wherever.

Bonus points(??) in my book if he dubs it White Forest.
