Sorry Kevin, but when Kiran had that baby, in my book at least, she jumped the shark!

Now MISS Theuriau, on the other hand, is single and I’ve seen her while sailing the P.S. SelfCentered along the French Riviera.

However, since I wouldn’t want to offend the BlogMeister, you’ll have to “surf” for that link yourself!

Sometimes people try to use John as a shortened form of Jonathan, mainly because they are unaware that John and Jonathan are distinct names with completely different etymologies… but it is far more common to see the nickname Jon.

Yow! Ms. Theuriau may have just bumped Kiran Chetry out of the top slot in the “Easiest on the eyes” category.

at least give Stewart enough credit to admit that he can spell his own name right.

I’m afraid I can’t do that Watcher:) John is short for Jonathan.

And I said Ms. Congdon was kinda cute, because that’s what she is to me. I downgraded her from cute when she started talking (It was not lefty stuff, just annoying). If you think she is ‘extremely cute’, I would not argue it with you. Eye of the beholder and all.

When is Bethany’s realverse going to be added to the HOTLINKS Video blogs/podcasts?

Like Michelle, she’s pleasing to the eyes.

Allah’s suggested ‘hot female host’ from NY, and of late humorless (she is smart and sees what’s coming in Nov.)

Ever since the Zarqawi killing, and the following events, she has been out of sorts…a good indicator for how the liberals feel these days. She also has a hard time handling Ann Coulter when they’re on TV together.

Kevin… say what you want about Congdon’s lefty politics, but saying that she is only “kinda cute” is just crazy talk.

And, by the way, Jon is short for Jonathan… his name isn’t John. The guy may be a left-wing hack whose sole purpose in life is trying to pass off intellectual dishonesty as satire, but at least give Stewart enough credit to admit that he can spell his own name right.

Heh. I thought it was just ME saying “Rocketwhat?” I’d never heard of it either, and it started to make me wonder how I’d missed it. Apparently a lot of others have too.
So who was hyping it?

I never heard of it either docdave. I watched one, and it was a girl, kinda cute, trying to do the “rolling of the eyes” or the “look of being stunned by what a pundit said” like John Stewart does (he spells his name wrong, not me), and failing. She’ll probably come into her own soon, but she hasn’t yet.

Am I the only one here that doesn’t know what is Rocketboom? It really isn’t what the North Koreans said is it, you know ‘Rocket go boom?’

Perhaps I had it right with a post on the same topic here earlier:

North Korea, as with Iran, is controlled by those who have little regard for the welfare of the population. In North Korea the people exist as a resource for the aspirations of Kim Jong-Il and nothing more. Annihilation of the people of North Korea is not the answer.

The UN sanctions are a necessary prerequisite for further action. Military action is a continuation of diplomacy to reach political decisions.

North Korea is still to some degree China’s proxy. Although things have changed China is still the key to North Korea. Military action in North Korea may bring a sad story to an end but the price would probably, almost certainly, be horrific.

These missile tests are yet another tactic of brinksmanship than Kim Jong-Il loves to play. Whether it is a punk craving attention or tactics to gain some political advantage (perhaps both), the results still come down to more of what has happened in the past.

I believe that the United States government is playing this game as best as it can be played.

A news article that may provide support for this argument:
