On February 13th, Calgary, Alberta, opened the 15th Winter Olympics. If you've never seen the movie "Cool Runnings", it is worth a few hours of your life. It is the mostly true and quite funny story of the first Jamaican bobsleigh team. The 15th Winter Olympics in 1988 was where the events of the movie take place.
In the third phase of the fifth round (whew) of six party talks, North Korea has conceded that they will shut down and button up their Yongbyon Nuclear reactor. At least until they decide to unbutton it and turn it back on for more ransom as they did the last time such an agreement was reached. This seems like good news, but probably it is not. It is costing 50,000 tons of fuel oil. Thomas Jefferson said, "Millions for defense but not one cent for tribute." He'd probably think this was a bad idea.
