North Korea just released a documentary that characterizes Kim Jong Un’s performance at the recent summit with President Trump as "yet another meaningful incident on the issue of world peace." That’s pretty much true, except for the part about it being a total failure that resulted in no agreement whatsoever.

Last month, a woman in Kentucky told her husband she wished he would give her something for Valentine’s Day that would last, such as tulips that would come back each year. So her husband, desperately trying to remember what she had said, surprised her on the big day with turnips, stacked in a bucket that said, “I love you.” The fact that this became a news story tells you all you need to know about how that turned out.

Meanwhile, millions of American husbands are grateful to the “turnip guy” for making their mistakes on Valentine’s Day look minor.
