Some things I learned today...

It's all in a word... so they say.

Today, I learned that the North Koreans are "committed" to the six-party nuclear talks. I learned this because the White House announced it. I'm still not sure what it means and apparently I'm not alone. From what I can tell... "committed" doesn't mean that the N. Koreans have given a time frame on when they might return to the talks they walked out on. It also doesn't mean that they are even actually saying they will return to the table. Maybe it's another way of saying that they think these talks are a nifty idea...

The other thing I learned today is that President Bush is willing to concede that global warming is real... as long as we change the name to something else. In case you were wondering, it's no longer "global warming"... it's now a worldwide "climate change" that's going on and we should maybe look into it. Don't worry though, the solution is apparently quite simple... it's "clean nuclear power." Oh yeah, and maybe some of them hydrogen cel technology cars and that bio-diesel stuff where we run cars on soy beans.
