 For the last couple of weeks, the media has made my briefs tied up in knots as tension has been building up leading up to North Korea's alleged missile firing over Hawaii - to take place on the 4th of July.  But then came Michael Jackson's demise and the focus, 24-7, sure put a damper over the fireworks on the Pacific.  Now, Sarah Palin says she "won't do it from the governor's desk" and resigns as governor of the State of Alaska.   So, if not from your desk, where Sarah?  This is so exiting!

 But one thing is clear, the national media is predictible: it goes with the flow, picks and chooses, and feeds upon  frenzied celebrity or  political speculation.  On the other hand, Kim Jong Il and Sarah Palin can sure steal the spotlight - at will.  Their panache is simply that; empty rethoric and little substance.

So what's the nexus between Kim Jong Il and Sarah Palin? In order to stay relevant, both political leaders need the spotlight, or without controversy, they would be relegated to diminimus status.  Sarah Palin keeps on rambling arguing that the United States needs a strong defense in order to defend itself from its enemies such as North Korea.  On the other hand, Kim Jong Il thrives politically on red meat from American politicians such as Sarah Palin.

Yet, one things is for sure; that North Korea will again test fire missiles over the Pacific on or about the 4th of July, as they did so last year.  But don't sweat it Hawaii. Ua Mau ke Ea o Ka Aina i Ka Pono... Poi anyone?

Sara Palin however, keeps dropping political bomb shells, but only to stay afloat politically. Or better yet, to keep building her political status, so she may perhaps be seen as the savior of the republican party, if not  "this land, blessed with resources and water."  "And with prayer and consideration" may she make more speeches and lead the republicans into 2012.  "You bet yaa!"

However, it would no longer be funny, but a page straight from Revelations, and a bad situation for Kim Jon Il, or Kim Jong son, if Sarah Palin was to get a hold of the presidential foot ball in 2012.  No Sarah!.  That is not the presidential Blackberry!
