"We'll Teach You How to Grow Your Own Food" Oh Brother

Bill Clinton was the perfect person to send to North korea. Sad that they couln't have given him a wider-ranging mission. Nice that he was able to get those two girls out of there. But, for all the billions we bribe North Korea with in the '90's, we should have been able to have them disband their... Sign in to see full entry.
