Checking in with the Axis of Evil.

  • North Korea has made tentative steps towards ending their nuclear program following a series of 6-party talks.  Wouldn’t faster progress have been made if they just cut out the six parties?  That’s a lot of late nights; of course they’re too tired to go back to the negotiating table and talk shop.  Where the hell are we getting our ambassadors from, Penn State?

  • Iran continues to dispute U.S. claims that Iran has been involved with smuggling weapons to militia groups in Iraq.  Intelligence analysts have used serial numbers to connect Iran to devices called Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs).  Iran officials have asked U.S. officials to stop interfering with their sex life.

  • Steve Jobs is filing a lawsuit against the governments of Iraq and Iran, claiming that both governments have infringed upon Apple’s “i” trademark used in world-famous products such as iPod and iPhone.  Jobs fumed, “They’re making us look bad.  If I designed a country, I’d never build a user interface full of competing ideological factions.” Iraq Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has assured Jobs that as soon as the civil war settles down, he’ll look into renaming the country to RaqSoft.

    Steve Jobs is an iDiot. If anyone has a copyright claim against Iran it’s Flock of Seagulls.

    Hello, Greg.

    “Well, what I had said was I’m in the math club, uh, the latin, and the physics club… physics club.”

    What can I say.  I have lots of iDeas.

    Explosively Formed Penetrators sounds like some sort of team in the porn World Cup.

    Do you realize that while your comments display the date, your entries do not? I’m catching up and I’d like to know when you wrote these things. Can you fix that?

    Ok, addendum: it doesn’t display the date in “comments” mode.

    I’m not sure if you went to college, but from the sounds of this article if you did go to college you did not participate in the primary function of colleges: parties.

    Had you that type of college education you would understand the ingenious of using the party sytem to negotiate with our enemies.  Once the U.S. and North Korea were well into the keg and the bong had been passed around a few times it becomes quite easy to negotiate.  I’m sure it went something like:

    US: Hey, man, those nukes you got.  They aren’t cool.  They are bringing me down.

    NK: Sorry, dude, we thought it was funny.

    US: Why don’t you disarm those things and we can watch Wizard of the Oz with Dark Side of the Moon playing.

    NK: I love doing that.  You guys are pretty cool to hange with.

    By the time the sixth party rolls around there are exchanges of love and peace and happiness and best friends forever.  Heck, if they’d done it right they’d have held eight or nine parties and we might be celebrating a united Korea right now.
