What Will We Think of Next?
I was turned on to this news by David Letterman last evening on The Late Show. Here it is from the Associated Press:

U.S. Bans Sale of IPods to North Korea
By TED BRIDIS - Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a novel effort targeting the lifestyle of North Korea's eccentric president, the Bush administration wants to make it tougher for him to buy iPods, plasma televisions, Segway electric scooters and more.

It is Washington's first-ever attempt to use trade penalties as a way of personally aggravating a foreign leader. They target items believed to be favored by Kim Jong Il or presented by him as gifts to the roughly 600 loyalist families who run the communist government.

This is probably the most exciting development of its type since troops blasted rock music at Panama's dictator General Noriega's palace.

At least the people of North Korea aren't going to be punished. And as Letterman said, "Who says Bush doesn't have a plan?"
