The New York Times reports North Korea fired a Eunha-2 rocket earlier today in a brash show of defiance to the U.N. and the U.S.
According to KCNA, the official news agency of the rogue nation, the Eunha-2 (Don’t ask me to pronounce that!) successfully put a satellite into orbit only minutes after the lunch, but South Korean defense minister Lee Sang-hee says the rocket “appears to have failed to put a satellite into orbit.” Apparently the payload of the Eunha-2 is sleeping with the fishes right now in the deep watery depths of the Pacific Ocean.

There’s been some talk on the political grapevine that Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) might pull a Joe Lieberman (sort of) and run as an independent in 2010 because of the distinct possibility that he will lose the GOP primary to any one of the conservatives who have vowed to challenge him, including former Congressman and Club for Growth president Pat Toomey.
Many conservatives in the Keystone State are fed up with Sen. Specter because of what they see as his treasonous acts – namely, his support for Democratic initiatives such as the recent $787 billion spending bill. Continue Reading »

The Democrats have been in control of the legislative and executive branches of government for barely two months now and already it appears they are in a bit of a bad spot, what with the Roland Burris fiasco, the humiliating tax issues that have surrounded several of President Obama’s cabinet selections, the AIG bonus scandal, and the ongoing economic crisis. And soaring above the mess are the Republicans, with visions of another Congressional takeover dancing in their heads.
According to Politico writer Manu Raju, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made this prediction shortly after Barack Obama assumed the presidency: Democrats would make big mistakes that would play into the Republicans’ hands going into the 2010 midterm elections. Continue Reading »

Since 9/11, many service members have been exposed to the stresses and dangers that often accompany the profession of arms during wartime, but female service members have had to deal with the added burden of unwanted attention and sexual violence at the hands of their male comrades.
