Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

It’s all a big mistake. Bill thought he was being sent to Poontang, not Pyongyang.
The North Koreans are thrilled to have Bill Clinton brokering this diplomatic incident. They have laid out the “red carpet” treatment for the former POTUS. Maybe they will now declare “Peace in our Time” and quit with the nukes. Cheers
I can just hear the gears in slick willy’s head turning:
What happens in N.Korea, stays in N.Korea! My wife can’t catch me here…
Because, they like Bill a lot. Remember, he was their ticket to the bomb. Maybe they figure they can get him to throw in a state-of-the-art missile guidance system for them too, just like he did for the Chinese.
Sounds like a fair trade for a couple of socialist reporters. No?
Good old Bill.
“Mr Clinton is the second former US president to visit North Korea. Jimmy Carter visited Pyongyang in 1994, when Mr Clinton was in office, and met then-North Korean leader Kim Il Sung, the late father of current leader Kim Jong Il. That visit came amid spiralling nuclear tensions and led to a breakthrough accord between the two sides months later.”
Where does the AP get this stuff? The Americans got snookered in 1994. We now know this, 15 years later; actually it didn’t take nearly that long to realize it. “Breakthrough agreement” — what a laugh.
BTW, I heard this morning that a deal for the two Americans may have already been made, and Clinton is there simply to seal the deal and to make a show of it. Developing …
Dirty deals to be sure.
The good thing for Obamba is that if Billy is unsuccessfull, he takes the fall. If he brings back the girls, Obamba was the hero behind the scenes all along.
To be sure, this has nothing to do with kidnapped tree huggers.
“Bill thought he was being sent to Poontang, not Pyongyang.” LOLOLOL! VERY good!
Why didn’t Fat Al go? Because he’s also a big fat chicken! Too scared to debate, as well.
To further Jason’s thought at 2:05pm…
I imagine – as an icebreaker – they’re talking about each others’ sexual adventures; Bill about Monica, and Kim about his concubines. A chummy conversation over Korean BBQ served on an out-of-uniform female NorK soldier.
Say what you want about the North Koreans. I am sure even they are not stupid enough to believe anything that comes out of Fat Al’s pie hole.
Well,manbearpig Al got his prize for AGW,and we all now how much CO2 n.Korea produces(about zero%).Besides the Goracle detests nuclear anything.Plus it ain’t hard to get old Billy pissed up enough to give dear leader an excuse to carry on as if normal.
Looks like Billy Bob ‘BJ’ Clinton delivered.
Talkin’ from one corrupt despot to another ya know, one lusts after world domination, the other lusts after world domination of females.
Al would have had to use his own money. Bill will use someone else’s.
It’s Billy Jeff Clinton, Billy Bob Thornton.
because they don’t understand stupid. they also don’t understand kill em all so you can be free.
Because, Kate, the world is black and white and because Gore got a peace prize, you’re right, they should have sent him. He was the only man for the job, but because of the sheer lunacy of it all, they sent Clinton. The world is indeed run by crazy people. Who cares about results when we can find a way to be partisan and critical no matter what the circumstances or outcome? If the GOP were in power, everything would have been done completely right and there would be no need to make a blog post, I know.
Ooooopppppssss….spoke to soon

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has pardoned two jailed American journalists and ordered their release following an unannounced meeting with former President Bill Clinton, the North’s state media said early Wednesday.
Neat pic there also of BJ Clinton and dear leader.
Expendability?
I don’t like Bill, but he wasn’t socialist scum like Obie’n Gore.
They’d be happy to see the last of him and his non-commie wifey
Well it seems old pasty skin has got the girls with him to come home in a private jet…
“…These 2 young ladies did not perform felatio on me”
“Dear leader”?
What does this make Obie1?
“Beer leader”?
“Dear leader”?
What does this make Obie1?
“Beer leader”?
Apologies for DPs. NMFF.
Why send Bill ?
Where’s Hillary ?
I think it is her job actually.
Clinton delivers groveling apology to Kim Jong-Il (a leaf from Hussein Obama’s book) and Dear Leader graciously pardons the two journalists.
From CNN: “The announcement came after former U.S. President Bill Clinton met with top North Korean officials in Pyongyang to appeal for the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who had been arrested while reporting from the border between North Korea and China.
“Clinton expressed words of sincere apology to Kim Jong Il for the hostile acts committed by the two American journalists against the DPRK after illegally intruding into it,” the news agency reported. “Clinton courteously conveyed to Kim Jong Il an earnest request of the U.S. government to leniently pardon them and send them back home from a humanitarian point of view.
“The meetings had candid and in-depth discussions on the pending issues between the DPRK and the U.S. in a sincere atmosphere and reached a consensus of views on seeking a negotiated settlement of them.
The report said Clinton then conveyed a message from President Obama “…expressing profound thanks for this and reflecting views on ways of improving the relations between the two countries.” It added, “The measure taken to release the American journalists is a manifestation of the DPRK’s humanitarian and peace-loving policy. The DPRK visit of Clinton and his party will contribute to deepening the understanding between the DPRK and the U.S. and building the bilateral confidence.”
Pardon me while I go puke…
Gore should have gone and, being the ladies’ boss, taken the fall for them. He could then have spent the next 12 years in a ‘low carbon society’; that might have added some reality to his world view.
Well the NorKs wanted grovelling and they got it.
They have no illusions about Obamassiah, they just understand how to work with a toadie.
Cuz love him or hate him – slick Bill gets the importance of this situation becuase of his time in the big chair. Obama knows he’s in over his head on this one and the Goracle is too busy massaging his own self importance.
Jokers indeed!
once again Bill Clinton delivers… the best usa president ever….
Slick Willy. Remember, in life, the bad boys always get the good girls.
Bill got’er done! No wonder why when he left office he was so highly respected on the world stage. A great President and man. Can you imagine if George W. would have went there? There would have been no chance of the prisoners being released.
“Well the NorKs wanted grovelling and they got it.”
I’m no big fan of Bill Clinton, but as a great man once said: “It never hurts to say you’re sorry …. even if you don’t mean it.”
Because Jimmah Carter was busy?
“Why send Bill ?
Where’s Hillary ?
I think it is her job actually.”
*BINGO* Fred.
That’s exactly what hit me as well.
T If George was there would they have taken prisoners??
Really should be OBIE2
Billy brought a “box” of specialy flavoured cigars for Kimmy
“The DPRK visit of Clinton and his party will contribute to deepening the understanding between the DPRK and the U.S. and building the bilateral confidence.””
Yuppers. You keep sending us your a*&kissers and we will keep building/testing our nukes.
Maybe they can take Twit and purlaine puke with them next time.Just think what three brown nosers could accomplish!
Enough of tyhis carp!
If “The measure taken to release the American journalists is a manifestation of the DPRK’s humanitarian and peace-loving policy. what was the kidnapping and detention of these journalists in the first place???
I smell bullsh*t
This whole thing is si-fi

How much did their release cost?
The sentiments of Mr.Clinton sounded exactly like the forced confessions of the POW’s in the Korean and Viet Nam wars.It must make those veterans feel really good that they withstood torture before making the same statements.Some NEVER broke.
Helton needs a sense of humour. But in any case, this is good news. Prison in NK can be no picnic.
Dave in Pa is puking right now and hates the apologies Clinton served up. I understand, but the fact is that all Presidents perform this hostage-schtick at some time or another. Obama’s not the first.
It does make me wonder what’s going to happen now to the Ameicans being held in Iran.
gordinkneehill @ 1:50 Hillaryious.
If I had been the leader of North Korea,I would have set up a villa for Mr.Clinton about a couple of hundred yards from one of their nukes and dared the US to do something about it.They had the same as a royal flush in poker and blew it.
not out of form for Billy to exchange Hill for 2 new phillys..
Oh bahumbug all you sad, *ssholes! Two people’s lives are spared and almost all of you have nothing positive to say about. Welcome to SDA!
Hard to criticize this…two innocent people were freed in exchange from an apology from someone who is now a private citizen. Coming from Hillary it would have been an “official” US apology, which would have been unacceptable.
Not an Obama or Clinton fan, but I can’t argue with the results or how they were obtained.
Let us see now,
The story is that Clinton was on a private mission to get two Americans out of North Korean paradise. Just like that, the warm and fuzzy communists could not wait to hand them over to Clinton.
Are you kidding me, media?
The truth will come out later; right now they saturate news with this story. When things settle down some, they will trickle the details now and then just so that they printed and broadcasted it though it will be presented as in “nothing to see here, move along” sense.
And they forgot altogether to mention the money, remember, follow the money. Because it is as though a private operation there is no need for the government to say anything about the money. Maybe Clinton paid for it with his foundation money and will be reimbursed at a later date when things quiet down.
Money is involved, no doubt about it, that is how North Korean communists operate.
They will also make sure that the two “journalists” will have nothing to say, ever, silence is golden.
This is no conspiracy theory, it is the way communists make money and do business.
You have seen it here first, now just sit back and see things unfold.
Terry,you say that the NK’s would have killed the journalists? They were in prison in NK so it would have been a paradise next to a prison in Canada or the US.Be consistant if nothing else.
