Exclusive: U.N. probes possible NKorea arms trade with Syria, Myanmar. UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A U.N. panel of experts that monitors compliance with sanctions on North Korea is investigating reports of possible weapons-related deals between Pyongyang and Syria and Myanmar, the panel said in a confidential report seen by Reuters on Thursday.
"The DPRK (North Korea) continues actively to defy the measures in the (U.N. sanctions) resolutions," the panel said in the report, which it submitted to the U.N.

Screwing racism, literally. Authors: Morgan Mayo I met my Mexican boyfriend at a party filled with white people.
The first time I saw him, he was carrying a box of Bud Light and fending off a drunk girl who kept trying to lick his nipple ring. I knew right then and there that he would be mine. I was initially attracted to him because I had consumed a large amount of tequila that night and was really in the mood for some drunk Mexican food. I figured if I forced him to take me to his house and then camped out on his couch long enough, he would eventually cook me some.
To initiate conversation, I drunkenly staggered over to him, pointed to an innocent white boy and slurred something along the lines of, “You can probably fight because you have tattoos and you’re Mexican.
