    • Political Lunch Flashback: A North Korea Classic

      The North Koreans have been playing nice, as of late, trying to gain respect from the international community and strengthen the regime of Kim Jong-il. It almost makes you yearn for the days of brash nuclear ambition and daily missile tests. Today's PL Flashback will give you a glimpse of the North Korea we used to know (and maybe still do).

      Back in the good ole' days of the 2008 campaign, everyone was happy because we didn't have to worry about complicated, confusing stories like health care reform and, well, health care reform. Instead, we got to cover ridiculous nonsense like Sarah Palin's wardrobe malfeasence and Obama's two-step with Ellen!
