Peace wreath labeled satanic

In a rural subdivision in Colorado, Lisa Jensen has been receiving a lot of flak from her homeowners’ association for hanging a peace-sign shaped wreath on the front of her home. The head of the association, Bob Kearns, stated that several residents complained that the wreath was satanic in nature. He also felt that it was an anti-war symbol. Because of these complaints, Jensen is now being fined $25 per day.

Her response was that, “Peace is way bigger than not being at war. It’s a spiritual thing.” The head of the association asked his committee members to force her to remove the wreath, but they objected after deciding that it was purely a seasonal symbol. Kearns later fired all five committee members.

U.S. blocks iPod sales to N. Korea

The U.S. government is proposing sanctions that would block the sale of items such as iPods, Segways, and other luxuries to North Korea. This is an attempt by the government to make Kim Jong Il’s eccentric life more difficult. He is well known for enjoying expensive cars, alcoholic beverages, and even Harley Davidson motorcycles. This type of trade block is the first of its kind in that it blocks non-military buildups such as Rolex’s, Plasma TV’s, etc. from being sold to North Korea. The hopes is that if one form of control Il has is taken away, he might begin to lose control elsewhere in his government.
