Stop! Or I Will Say “Stop” Again!
King of the Freakazoids, Kim Jong-il, has been a naughty boy again.
Susan Rice, US ambassador to the United Nations, and thus the very first person to whom we should turn when empty words are preferable to swift action, said that, “they’re going to find they’ll pay a price because the international community is clear: it’s not acceptable.”
The statement was made in a midly (think Dijon mustard as opposed to Tabasco) threatening way.
I sure would hate to pee off the quote-international community-unquote. That would definitely be a bad move.
Unless I were the Taliban. Or the CCP. Or the House of Saud. Or al-Bashir of Sudan. Or Robert Mugabe. Or Vladimir Putin. Or Chavez/Correa/Morales or any of the other past or future Latin American Castro wannabes. Or…
You get my point.
And, almost certainly, the “price” that the DPRK will pay will be to receive ever-so-slightly less aid from us spineless westerners. That’s the same type of mindset that in Washington DC defines a cut in government spending as a decrease in the rate of increase of government spending.
Fail, you morons.
[Yeah, the title is not one of my creations. I read it elsewhere ages ago and decided there and then to steal it for my own use one day. But it's still awesome.]

Busted.
Had a sneaking suspicion that I’d stolen it from one of yours, Smitty, but was too lazy to verify…
I’ll repay with some link-love.

It is a good think the Sotomayor pick came today, otherwise MSM might have to had pulled some serious mental gymnastics to prove the Obama Administration is not spineless when dealing with NK. Instead, they can now bury these stories on page 27.

You guys are kidding right? You both stole it. Watch “Robin Williams Live at the Met” – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196055/quotes :
“You know in England if you commit a crime, the police don’t have a gun and you don’t have a gun. So if you commit a crime: “Stop! Or, or I’ll say stop again!”

Ha, I’m completely collared for this one.
Good thing I didn’t claim it as one of my own brainchilds.
JALG, good knowledge! Who’da thunk that Robin Williams had ever said anything worth repeating?
