					<description><![CDATA[I was there on the night of the burning. Il-Fusellu was in charge of the operation and the Police were under his direction then.  It was a night of shame all round. But and a big but we defeated Mintoff because The Times was on the stands in the morning - a bit late - but it was there for anybody who would want to read about THE TIMES BUILDING GUTTED.

It&#039;s not like The Times&#039;s survey made much sense. The choice was between a Labour position (Salvatur) and another Labour position (Traditure, i.e. lejn l-MLP). Then there was the obligatory &quot;None of the above&quot;.

					<description><![CDATA[What?  Mintoff asking Albert Mizzi whether the whiff of corruption was true?

What? He asked for Albert Mizzi&#039;s advice how to handle the situation?
 
Who? The brilliant Rhodes scholar Duminku Mintoff?

Mr Mizzi should have directed him to Lorry Sant&#039;s office and asked him how many varieties of corruption were being condoned under his very nose.

What was Albert Mizzi afraid of during the interview he gave to The Times? He should have come clean because no dumbest clod heading a corrupt clan would not notice what was going on! Mr Mizzi should have hinted something about the source of Mintoff&#039;s millions, for starters.

Same as when The Times was burning just around the corner and no direction came out of Castille to stop the violence. Dom &#038; KMB must have been choking from the smoke coming from less than a few yards away.]]></description>

Jozef,  who can blame Joseph Muscat for supporting the dear respected Korean leader about the legitimacy of Korea&#039;s launching of its &quot;satellite of love&quot;?

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Korea/NC22Dg01.html

And according to North Korea&#039;s own news agency:

&quot;There will be little doubt left in the eyes of the south Korean people that Kim Jong Un has what it takes be another super Kim Il Sung, as the world&#039;s youngest national leader is about to complete a challenge of Sisyphean proportions in a creditable way, taming for once and for all the American military presence.&quot;

http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/2012/201203/news29/20120329-32ee.html

You can see where Joseph gets his inspiration of becoming another Mintoff.

According to the North Korean news agency (KCNA), the satellite did not crash, it just failed to enter its preset orbit:

&quot;Pyongyang, April 13 (KCNA) -- The DPRK launched its first application satellite Kwangmyongsong-3 at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station in Cholsan County, North Phyongan Province at 07:38:55 a.m. on Friday.

The earth observation satellite failed to enter its preset orbit.

Scientists, technicians and experts are now looking into the cause of the failure. -0-&quot;]]></description>
