      I'm sorry, Mongo, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.

    Yeah!, everyone should be more like North Korea!

    1. John Galt   11 years ago

      The pols in Washington are working harder than I've ever seen them work on anything, ever, to make us just like North Korea.

  7. Paul.   11 years ago

    Ot: progressives in Washington still not happy with Obamacare. I got solicited for donations to make single payer healthcare a reality.

    Given everything else going up the flagpole that's getting vigorously saluted, I expect this will pass easily.

    1. MarkLastname   11 years ago

      What difference, at this point, does it make?

  8. John Galt   11 years ago

    Awesome. Hopefully all the hypocrite Earth First loons will be packing their bags for NK.

    1. Enjoy Every Sandwich   11 years ago

      Especially since every day is Earth Day in North Korea!

  9. The Sego Sago Kid   11 years ago

    I dunno.. I bet it took a lot of energy to build that giant wall around every inch of their border, and uses even to make it bright like that at night. Hell, you can see it from space!
