RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES Column June 9

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is promising a "very hard look" at returning North Korea to the list of countries that support terrorism. In addition to giving the country the stink eye, she also plans a "meaningful glance", a "wrinkled brow", and possibly a "frustrated sigh" if necessary.

The carrot-and-stick approach to North Korea has not yielded positive diplomatic results in restraining the country's recent saber-rattling. Once the United Nations removes the carrot, Beloved Leader Kim Il-Jong has given permission for his people to eat the stick.

Al Gore has offered to travel to North Korea to lend his support to two CurrentTV correspondents on trial for spying. Seriously, how much punishment does North Korea deserve?

During his speech in Normandy commemorating the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings embattled British Prime Minister Gordon Brown referred to Omaha Beach as "Obama Beach". Vice President Joe Biden called Brown afterward and warned him that there wasn't enough room in Obama's administration for two second-bananas who garble speeches.

The President and Mrs. Obama were able to spend a little time in the City of Lights before heading back home. They visited Notre Dame, the Pompidou Center, and then had dinner near the Eiffel Tower. The French were thrilled to host an American President that didn't order a hamburger and Freedom Fries.

Newt Gingrich said on Sundays Face the Nation that the President cannot make changes the country needs alone, but needs the help of other elected official. Dang it, hes been reading the Constitution again.

Gingrich is considering a run at the presidency in 2012 if he decides he can effectively govern the nation. Someone tell Newt that voters might have to weigh in on that decision too.

Besides, why would he have to decide if he could govern effectively? That never stopped anyone before.

The SEC lawsuit against Countrywide Financial Corp. bosses hinges on a series of e-mails from chief risk officer John P. McMurray detailing the potential dangers in their portfolio and practices. Most damning was the revelation that potential loan officers were chosen based on their skill playing Jenga.

Alternative medical treatments such as aromatherapy, Reiki and herbalism are gaining acceptance from Americans who have grown to distrust government safeguards and misleading marketing from major pharmaceutical firms. That's because everybody knows that there are no hucksters the dietary supplement industry.

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe is calling on the other members of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) to stop violence and come together to increase trade between their countries and the rest of the world. He said the decade of war and civil strife has shrunk their industry and workforce. In fact, the only employers that offer lifetime employment any more are the warlords.

He encouraged his fellow COMESA ministers to develop trade between their countries rather than exporting all their raw materials to the European Union and other outside entities. The proposal was well received. Discussions began immediately to decide which country would manufacture bullets and who would build gun factories.

Great article. Well done.

The key to Mr Nuke who is in charge of North Korea is the mostly uneducated population.
