North Korea
North Korea is preparing to test fire a long-range missile that could reach the United States. A source in the White House said that if the missile is launched, the United States would try to intercept it with "Star Wars", the new missile defense shield. Honestly I don’t feel that secure, we cannot stop a van crossing the border that goes at 30 MPH, packed with 30 undocumented workers, and we pretend we can stop a missile?

Starbucks
