Breaking News
The new flu strain has become widespread in China! A case has been reported in Ireland, India, and the United States as well. In response, the US has given aid to India, banned travel to the US from China, and delayed all troop movements until they can be reasonably sure that a soldier doesn't pick up the flu and take it back home with them. President Edwards's approval rating drops to 51%.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has retreated to an underground shelter with fifty servants and five hundred women, NK state television reports. The door to the shelter was welded shut and buried upon the entrance of the last woman. Speaking to a crowd of loyal citizens the day before, Kim advised them to go ahead and commit all the sins they want to now, and that he'd "get out of this hellhole while there's still time." Kim has stated that the bunker will be exited once the "flu strain, heh heh heh" is eradicated and that he will "lead the Glorious *cough*illegible Korean Race into a new era of enlightened rule over the entire planet".
