Bullying the brat

On page 24 of the front section of today's Houston Chronicle is about four inches of filler under the Around the World header that caught my eye and gave me my first What's the world coming to? thought for the day. Seems that Kim Jong II is fond of all sorts of pricey lifestyle toys. Our current administration wants to use trade penalties to (I'm going to quote) "personally aggravate the foreign leader." So, here's how we're going to hit him where it hurts: No more cognac, Rolexes, cigarettes, artwork, ipods, plasma tvs, expensive cars, Harley Davidson motorcycles or Jet Skis.

Oh yeah, that'll show him. Leadership.

Maybe they've just decided to do something they know they're good at. They certainly aggravate the hell out of me.
