Reality clobbers the NYT Editorial Board

The New York Times' strange take on reality:

If there's a positive side to President Bush's appointment of John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations yesterday, it's that as long as Mr. Bolton is in New York, he will not be wreaking diplomatic havoc anywhere else. Talks with North Korea, for instance, have been looking more productive since Mr. Bolton left the State Department....

And on the same day:N. Korea: No Progress Yet in Nuke Talks

North Korea's main nuclear envoy said Tuesday that no progress had been made at talks seeking to persuade his country to abandon its atomic arms, the first public comments from the North after eight days of negotiations.

What shitty luck for the Grey Lady. Oh New York Times! Will you ever win?

And who - outside of the strange worlds of Manhattan and Berkeley - seriously thinks that North Korea is going to be talked out of its nuclear weapons?

A show of hands?
