North Korea released this statement, today, about a “Special Operation Action Group,” ambitiously proposing the annihilation of South Korea within a very narrow timeframe: Once the above-said special actions kick off, they will reduce all the rat-like groups and the bases for provocations to ashes in three or four minutes, in much shorter time, by […]

Les Miserables
Apparently wild ideological swings are not exclusive to American politics. Francois Hollande and incumbant Nicolas Sarkozy have advanced to the Second Round of France’s Presidential Elections. March madness or mma style, I guess. Sports frolic: Jon “Bones” Jones defeated Rashad “Suga” Evans in a lopsided and unanimous decision Saturday night at UFC 145. (Where else […]
A Failure to Launch
It’s really too easy, right? The subconscious inferiority complex latent in a phallic rocket that fails to launch? As we’ve discussed previously in blong, North Korea insisted on going forward with a missile launch otherwise condemned by the United States and the rational portion of the international community. North Korea said that its rocket launch […]
Almost Famous
I meant to get this out last week. The buzz has simmered some now. I had a show last Friday night and as I was walking through the lobby I saw, on an overhead monitor, George Clooney in handcuffs. He and his dad were protesting Omar Al-Bashir outside the Sudanese embassy, when they were arrested. […]
Reports of Life
Busy week. Travel for work. Couldn’t get this done until tonight. Syria has fallen fully into horror. The regime has been continuously bombing the opposition in Homs, ambivalent to age or innocence. It’s unsafe for aid workers to even enter the zone. But, the truth is that no one knows of what the opposition is […]
Trouble
I had a rough day. A little stressed out. Wasn’t gracious with my wife or children. Anxious about some upcoming projects and responsibilities. Tired as crap. Had other music collaborations to knock out before turning to this around 1:00 am. Popped my first 5-hour energy. That has to be a spiral gateway to meth amphetamines. […]
Baked Ziti
Riots in Greece over the new bailout and concomitant austerity measures. Even on the brink of economic ruin, people aren’t willing to do with less. Imagine trying to talk “sacrifice” on a national scale here in America at any point prior to the bankruptcy of ESPN and the unavailability of nuggets and chicken tenders. This […]
March Like an Egyptian
After a long Thanksgiving weekend away, didn’t get to this song until laaaaate. Trimmed a tree. Kicked it with some college students. So, show me some grace. The people of Egypt want to throw off the military council which has governed since the unseating of President Mubarak. As is typical in emerging democracies, sometimes the […]
Atomic Chivalry
No, really, me first. I insist. There are strong signs that Israel will attack Iran to ensure that its nuclear program does not come to any sort of functional and capable and lethal fruition. This straw stirs the classic debate over preemptive military measures against autonomous states for what is, in any meaningful sense of […]
Cradle to the Casket
So, the Greek economy has been on the verge of collapse for months. The European Union (EU) this past week approved a bailout that would for the foreseeable future allow them to continue to participate in the EU and the euro. In an apparently unexpected move, Greece’s Prime Minister, George Papandreou, plans to put the […]
