I know this is bad, but there's something that makes me laugh about Kim Jong Il. We say their missile just plopped into the ocean. He says that it launched a satellite and now everyone in N. Korea is listening to the music it broadcasts.

With of course no radios, iPods, TVs, 'puters, etc because the majority of the population doesn't have electricity.

So are they all listening to the music from giant speakers in space?

This is so Mao swimming the Yangtze that I just can't help but kinda love it.

Those crazy showtune marches represent the entire GDP of North Korea. Instead of growing crops, they write and record that shit and have "marching day" in the square.

My question is: how long can a country continue to exist when the entire population hasn't eaten solid food in thirty years?

@onenotesam: What I wonder is what it will be like when Il dies and if there is some kind of miracle that allows the N.Koreans to join the rest of the world? I think the cultural shock will be almost endless.

Does PETA know they eat dogs? Maybe they can put an end to this madness with a really spirited naked protest and a boycott of all their wannabe Hondas.

@bayktdin: They do know that. So does HSUS. If you join HSUS, they'll send you photos. I don't know why PETA hasn't done a really spirited naked protest and boycott of all their wannabe Hondas.

Maybe we can send some naked PETA girls to the DMZ to participate in the daily dirty looks across the border ritual.

Oh no! A nation run by a deluded man with an odd fixation on his father's legacy has powerful technology and weaponry! Umm... that was us for the past eight years.

is it written in the UN Charter that only the nation which has used nuclear weapons to kill hundreds of thousands shall say who else gets to play with the same toys? is it true also that Madoff is in charge of the AIG Bailout Bonus investigation?

@SkyHits: It's just that, I'm always irritated by debates which begin the inning with your opponent on third base. Like, we're all invited to groan and quiver at the potential for Iran and North Korea to achieve nukes, because they ain't stable as the first generation of Mao and Stalin, and yet rare indeed is the word in the American press about the only nation in the middle east which (1) has nukes, and (2) is not a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

They showed a picture of what the "satellite" looked like on CBS Sunday Morning (me being the only person under 70 that watches) and it seriously looked like a disco mirror ball with little retro-50s style sputnik-looking legs coming off of it, and they actually said it "beeps".. umm.. hahahahahaha

@Little Green Frog: "There are three or four techniques that could have been used, from unconventional forces to standoff capabilities, to say: 'We're not going to tolerate a North Korean missile launch, period.' I mean, the world's either got to decide that North Korea is utterly dangerous … I'd recommend, look at electromagnetic pulse, which changes every … equation about how risky these weapons are."

@BookishLookish: One of their earlier missiles was called the -- not making this up -- "No Dong."

Someone needs to talk with these isolated Stalinist dictators. This kind of thing only reinforces hateful ethnic stereotypes.

@saintjim: I have never found that vicious stereotype to hold true. Sometimes it's the littlest, skinniest guys who are packin' the most heat.

ThunderWomb, though, is quite familiar with the "no dong" concept, I believe.

President Obama and gal pal Hillary Clinton said that there would be grave consequences if North Korea went through with this launch. It sounded like an empty threat to me... at the time.

Ladies and Gentleman, introducing the newly retro-fitted Juice Newton Minute Man Missile. Capable of broadcasting some of the worst music in human history over an area the size of Texas. The United States has the capability of saturating the world with noxious eighties pop several times over.

I don't know which is worse: this or the fact that some administrative flack, whose name escapes me, just used a bunch of football analogies to defend Obama on Meet the Press.

In either case we are doomed.

It's comforting to know that they're nowhere near the advances in miniaturization technology to actually mount a warhead on such a missile.

The personality cult thing still gives me the heebie jeebies. At least it's not like Turkmenistan's late Turkmenbashi. A gold statue of him in the capital rotated all day to constantly face the sun. He encouraged his people to chew bones, like dog, to strengthen their teeth. Car radios and lip-synching became prohibited. Etc, etc.
