The Clintons and North Korea; setting Americans journalists free — a curious story indeed. There’s even a touch of Clinton/Gore relationship analysis (umm, it is supposed to be about the journalists Ling and Lee and their return, isn’t it? The homecoming was emotional to watch on tv – and must be strange for journalists to make the news that they’d otherwise cover themselves). The story is still unfolding, with details to be determined, however.

And, a link to other links on how Secretary of Treasury Tim Geithner cursed out at the Fed and others for not getting more on board on regulating the finance industry. I kind of agree with Time’s Justin Fox in the link – yeah, cursing is wrong, but I also have to have a little sympathy for Geithner. His job isn’t easy and we’ve all piled on him for awhile now. Plus, he’s from New York, so he probably got the cursing thing down really well. (ok, maybe it’s not a NY thing, but these finance people are kind of begging to get a good yelling from somebody already and I just doubt that their lovely world is oh-so-polite and full of good manners anyway). And, really, cursing’s just not that big a deal when the substance is more what’s at stake. Or did Wall Street Journal forgot about that while making it so very clear that the shouting was “expletive-laced”? Oh well.
