Cartoon from Mike Ramirez...
Letter from Mike Walker...

All,
a. North Korea: Clinton+Clinton+Bolton=Pretty accurate view of US policy
Hillary Clinton: The release of two US Journalists will not lead to a change in the Nuclear Talks with N Korea-Correct
Bill Clinton: If the release of two US Journalists will not lead to a change in the Nuclear Talks with N Korea then getting them freed is a win-Correct
John Bolton: The release of two US Journalists will not lead to a change in the Nuclear Talks with N Korea as a regime willing to let its children to starve to death so it can purchase nuclear weapon components rather than food will never give up its nuclear weapons-Correct
b. Clunkers for Cash: The glass half full, half empty dilemma
The glass half full: The program works, it gets inefficient cars off the streets and helps the struggling auto industry recover at a critical time.
The glass half empty: Washington DC underestimated the future cost of Medicare by at least 500%. Washington DC initially underestimated the cost of the "Clunker for Cash" Program by at least 400%. Aren't those good reasons to be worried about how much Washington DC thinks Health Care Reform will cost in the future?
Regards,
Mike
