After all of the delicious rumors swirling around this story for months on end, it will come as as a rather anticlimactic conclusion if it turned out that Kim Jung Un just had a rather advanced case of cankles. South Korea’s spy agency said

I’m as surprised as you are. In all seriousness, I wonder if some of this sloppiness and insularity is a habit born of the fact that Obama’s gotten used to “fixing” problematic legislation. He fixed the employer mandate by

There has been a flood of push back and grumbling about the already lessened Ebola quarantines in New York and New Jersey, as well as against any of us who dared to speak up in support of them. Of course, everyone feels bad for the nurse who was
