- According to AP:
North Korea on Thursday announced for the first time that it has nuclear weapons and rejected moves to restart disarmament talks any time soon, saying it needs the weapons as protection against an increasingly hostile United States.
The communist state's pronouncement dramatically raised the stakes in the two-year-old nuclear confrontation and posed a grave challenge to President Bush, who started his second term with a vow to end North Korea's nuclear program through six-nation talks.
"We ... have manufactured nukes for self-defense to cope with the Bush administration's ever more undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the (North)," the North Korean Foreign Ministry said. - According to the Guardian (UK):
Prince Charles surprised Britain by announcing Thursday that he will marry Camilla Parker Bowles, his longtime lover who Princess Diana blamed for the breakdown of her marriage to the heir to the throne.
The Prince of Wales' pronouncement dramatically raised the stakes in the more than two-decade-old Oedipal confrontation and posed a grave challenge to Queen Elizabeth II who, with Golden Jubilee just three years ago, vowed to prevent further screw-ups.
Clarence House, Charles' office, announced that the pair would marry but gave no further details.
"Of course we've engaged in inappropriate contact between Prince and Catholic," said HRH Charles, who explained he was increasingly distraught about the identity of his last name. "Mum said old 'Saxophone-Goat Cheese' went missing on a fox hunt with Granddad during the Great War. When I marry my tampon, I'll get a normal surname even if it is heathen and Catholic." The Prince called his engagement "self-defense to cope with mum and those tabloids, who try to isolate and stifle me and tell everyone I'm stupid."

HOWARD DEAN APPOINTEES GUILTY
Federal Court Finds DNC Chair Howard Dean’s Judicial Appointees Guilty
In a 1997 Vermont Press Bureau article, Howard Dean expressed his desire to appoint judges that were not so concerned about the Bill of Rights -- or in Howard Dean lingo “legal technicalities”.
Howard kept his aim true. Within two months of his proclamation, he appointed Nancy Corsones and Patricia Zimmerman to the Vermont bench.
Shortly afterward, Vermont prosecutors set their sites on a local activist. Judge Corsones chose to advance justice in Vermont by violating the activist’s rights against double jeopardy, his right to counsel and his right to due process. Later, the Vermont Supreme Court sided with the activist and threw out the bogus criminal charges.
One spring morning in Rutland Vermont, the activist appeared at Judge Corsones’ courthouse with signs on his van that detailed the Judge’s problems with the Bill of Rights. The signs correctly labeled the Judge a “Butcher of the Constitution”.
Judge Corsones’ solution – banish the activist from the courthouse – for life.
In January of 2005 the United States Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan found that judgment should issue against Judge Corsones and her colleague for violation of the First Amendment rights to free expression and to courthouse access.
Kudos to Howard Dean for truly accomplishing his proclaimed goals of subverting the Bill of Rights, or in this example, subversion of the First, Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the United States Constitution via judicial appointments. Sympathy to the Democratic Party for choosing such an arrogant and ignorant leader.
