Let's Ski to North Korea...and Fingerprinting Mayors!

Can two American skiers make it across the border to North Korea?? Is there good powder in the Hermit Kingdom?

I came across this vid originally on Tripfilms.

Skirting the North Korean Border

This isn't a normal ski destination...looks interesting!



"I feel like a rock star"...this is a quote from Ottawa mayor Larry O'Brien as he was fingerprinted and booked by the Ontario Provincial Police in Kanata yesterday. What a BIZARRE thing to say! I can remeber that a few weeks ago he was daring the OPP to charge him on charges of "so called corruption and attempted bribery." The next day they charged him. His reply...."I feel relieved." What the hell is up with that???


Ottawa mayor booked, photographed, fingerprinted on influence-peddling charges


OTTAWA - Mayor Larry O'Brien faced a throng of media as he appeared at provincial police detachment in suburban Kanata to be processed on two influence-peddling charges.

O'Brien, 58, was booked, photographed and fingerprinted on charges alleging that he tried to persuade an opponent to drop out of the 2006 race for mayor.

O'Brien joked that he felt "like a rock star" as about two dozen media members met him outside the detachment.

He said "it's obviously not a comfortable feeling" to face charges he offered rival Terry Kilrea a position on the National Parole Board if he dropped out of the 2006 municipal election.

O'Brien has denied he did anything wrong and has said he intends to plead not guilty to the charges.

His first court date is Wednesday.(January 9th) See original...
