DisruptIt

Well, it's been a while since I've written on this site. Last time Lehman had recently failed, Obama and McCain, and the whole of the government were pushing for the Bank Bailout.

Since then it has become obvious that the initial bailout was ineffective in curbing any of the downturn, every aspect of the economy is worse off now than then. Now, those responsible for giving huge bank bailout out, are now trying to distract the populace they took the money from, but focusing on bonuses, which are really such a small amount compared to the huge amounts (trillions), siphoned off to the financials. 

 North Korea announced that it is reassembling its nuclear reactor, and says the reports that Kim Jong Il is sick are "nonsense".  The North Korean's characterized reports of Kim Jong IL being sick as an attempt to undermine North Korea. Rumors of Kim Jong IL being sick started after he was not present at this years anniversary celebration. 

The North Korean's say the reason they are reassembling the nuclear reactor is because they have yet to be removed from the terrorism blacklist. The Bush administration stated that they would remain on the terrorism blacklist until some formal arrangement was made to verify the extent of North Koreas nuclear program.
