The UK Daily Mail offers a version of the back story on Bill’s North Korean rescue mission from assorted unnamed insiders, as well as details on the captured journos’ capitalization plans and a depiction of embarrassingly amatuerish behavior that is said to have got them in this mess in the first place.
Meanwhile, in Iran, the mullahs are [...]

I was trying to figure out what it was that bothered me about this picture. Bill and all the other hostages look suitably glum, as anyone forced to pose for propaganda shots should. Then I realized what was missing.

Credit where credit is due. Bill Clinton is probably the perfect guy to send to negotiate with Kim Jong Il. Here’s how the Central Korean News Agency reported the proceedings, via CNN:

My kids mark time by the release dates of Harry Potter flicks. One of my daughters knows the “Pirates of the Caribbean” production details and the due date of the second sequel, still several years out. They talk about the actors, who’s in, who’s out in the next one. I feel a little left out in those dinner [...]

Legal Insurrection pantses the left on Bolton, dubbed “crazy” for suggesting in the Wall Street Journal that Crazy Kim planned to test Obama, and that Obama with his Kumbayah foreign policy tendencies, might not be up to the test. (More correctly, Crazy Kim pantses the left. Legal Insurrection just points it out.)
Anyway, the good news after yesterday’s NK [...]

NK rocket launched, not shot down. NYT, which reports it’s a desperate cry for attention. In a statement, President Barack Obama states firmly that North Korea’s action is a threat to the northeast Asian region and to international peace and security and a clear violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1718 and he will immediately blah [...]

Unanimously to NK parliament, with 100 percent voter turnout. It’s a remarkable achievement, but he holds the numerologically lucky No. 333 military constituency, so that may have something to do with it. The national election had to be postponed last year due to the aggressor’s lies about Dear Leader’s health. AFP with the imperialist lackey version here. Juche-approved [...]

WSJ’s “Rare Glimpse at Pyongyang” vid. What is interesting is how closely this supposedly objective reactionary propaganda resembles the demented, madcap, anti-Juche presentation of “Team America: World Police.”

No, not that K-Mart. This is a Red Light Special. Stratfor re North Korea’s economic charm offensive, as Kim seeks all the benefits of foreign investment, without any of that political reform, standard-of-living raising nonsense. Stratfor outlines great ground-floor opportunities for boutique investment in old-fashioned totalitarianism for those not averse to a little risk:

Darn, I missed it on Feb. 14, the Great February Holiday, but it’s never too late to express joy and study the great advances made since the birth 65 years ago of Kim Jong Il.
Amid all the Songun ecstacy, the NKs themselves apparently forgot last week’s Glorious Shakedown of the Imperialist War Criminal Nation and its Lackeys, [...]
