When I think “unfortunate mistake,” I think about getting handed the wrong change at the grocery store. I don’t think about having my nice day spoiled by an ever-loving supersonic missile!
North Korea, strangely quiet as of late in terms of threatening to destroy other countries, launched three short-range missiles today into the sea. Its intent was unclear.
Following a joint South Korea-U.S. stealth bomber practice mission, North Korea announced that it's pointing its rockets at the U.S. and putting them on standby, and a state news photo seems to show its main targets: Hawaii, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and, uh... Austin. (Just a few weeks too late, Un!) NKNews.org…
Back in April, North Korea tried to send a rocket into space while the rest of the world was like, "c'mon man, please just don't do that." The launch famously failed after the rocket blew up a few minutes after it was fired off.
Where does Michele Bachmann stand on normalizing trade relations with Cuba? Well. It's not particularly high on her priority list, let's say! Not merely because they're dirty commies. But also, apparently, because Cuba is working with Hezbollah to potentially set up missile sites on the island. Perhaps you might…
According to the Wall Street Journal, a U.S. drone strike narrowly missed the American-born radical cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, who inspired the underwear bomber and the Times Square Bomber. Known for his inflammatory YouTube videos, he's sort of like the Islamist Rebecca Black. Too bad the drone missed; our lamp…
As you've undoubtedly heard by now, a "mystery missile" was launched off of California's coast on Sunday night. Or was it just an airplane? At any rate, tonight, Jon Stewart handily mocked the media for their exaggerated reactions. Video inside.
News helicopters caught video of a rather large missile hurtling skyward from the ocean about 35 miles west of Los Angeles last night. Pentagon officials have no idea where it came from. Neither does the Navy. Sleep well, America.
Last night at dusk, a mystery missile was launched near Los Angeles, as reported by LA's KCBS. Neither the navy nor the military have claimed the missile yet, so far its origin remains unknown. Their report inside.
Four men arrested last year for planting bombs outside Bronx synagogues and threatening to fire missiles at military planes were convicted today.
Fast Company's Mark Borden tweets this terrifying photo of a rented, decommissioned missile that "Ground Zero" "Mosque" protesters are driving around the proposed Islamic community center site today, and perhaps indefinitely. Take that, "productive interfaith dialogue" prospects!
Cruise missiles aboard submarines Dolphin, Tekuma and Leviathan can, according to an Israeli Naval official quoted in the Times of London, "reach any target in Iran." Iran is widely believed to be working towards its own nuclear weapon. Gulp. [Times]
In a development that we really would have preferred not to have happened at all, psycho loner nation North Korea has launched a big missile. A big, crazy missile. Oh shit.
Iran has tested missiles! Not just one or two or even three missiles, but four missiles! Our crack intelligence agencies know this, because the Iranian military's propaganda arm helpfully provided the media with a photo showing-count 'em-four whole missiles blasting off into the sky. You'll regret the decision to…
The American Jewish Committee wanted to run a pro-Israel ad on classical radio station WQXR in New York. The ad's opening line is "Imagine you had 15 seconds to find shelter from an incoming missile." The station decided not to run the ad, despite the fact that it has plenty of Jewish listeners. The reason,…
