Some consider the Nation’s Capital as “Fantasyland on the Potomac”. Other outsiders are “Fed Up” with the Federal City. It's better to consider D.C. as “the District of Calamity” (sic).

The coverage of the North Korea cheerleaders during the womens' hockey game between Korea and Switzerland does raise eyebrows. It was a cute featurette to have a piece about the some of the 200 woman squad of the North Korean "Army of Beauty" cheerleaders leading chants during the 0-8 rout of Korea. Some say that the synchronized chants of the North Korea Beauty Cheerleaders stole the show. But what what telling is what they chanted and how they performed. These NPDK cheerleaders chanted "Unity" waving "neutral" flags of a unified Korea. After each goal by their opponent, they chanted: "Cheer up!". Perhaps that exemplifies a cultural trait. 
"But in recent years, in particular, the problem with leaks has become a real challenge to national security and so I think what is very important is that everyone who is involved in these sort of policy discussions understand the sacred trust that is placed in them, and they realize that speaking to the media about government deliberations is treasonous when it involves national security."
