Afternoon Update:
As the world awaits an answer to whether North Korea will test another long range missile, two American Journalists lives remain in limbo after being sentenced for 12 years in North Korean prisons. On Tuesday Afternoon, the Associated Press is reporting that Laura Ling and Euna Lee will most likely not see the nations “notorious brutal gulag,” and believes North Korea is using the prisoners as leverage with U.S. Officials.

Morning News:
The news is all over the place this morning from North Korea to Supreme Court delaying the sale of Chrystler to Fiat. One of the most interesting stories is from Politico, on whether or not Barack Obama invokes Jesus more than Bush did. Interesting to see how much religion still plays a part in the new packaging of politics.
