What's in It for North Korea?
Everyone is speculating about North Korea's motives in handing over the two kidnapped journalists returned to the U.S. just yesterday by former President Bill Clinton, but I think Gail Collins (Op-Ed, New York Times) has it figured out: "Maybe the nation’s elite were involved in a high-stakes scavenger hunt, with a list of items that included a 1979 almanac, a matchbook from an Indonesian nightclub, and a picture of Bill Clinton sitting next to the Dear Leader and looking like he was stuffed."
Hang on to your news feeds. Judge Sotomayor will be announced as the U.S.'s first Latina Supreme Court Justice sometime later today. The Republicans will breath a noticeable sigh of relief in the hope that they can stop alienating America's Hispanic population and making themselves even more irrelevant, maybe. (They still have to feed their hate-filled base, after all.)

I have good memories of the year I spent as the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing's public affairs officer (85-86)at Kunsan Air Base South Korea, also known as the ROK (Republic of Korea).
