North Korea is scary!

Look, I know it's hard to stop thinking about Congressman Foley and all the hot young teens parading around Washington in speedos... but we need to take a break.

While we all sat glued to our televisions, foaming at the mouth with anticipation for more lurid details involving hot Congressman-on-Page action, North Korea started acting a little jumpy. Now, I tend to believe that Mr. Kim Jong-Il isn't really very interested in blowing us up. His passion in life is film, and at the end of the day, the best films in the world come from America... the majority of which come from California.

Think of it this way, if you lived and breathed for corn, if corn was so important to you that you just couldn't imagine having a meal without an ear, would you nuke Nebraska? Probably not.

However, we should still pay attention to this wacko. He may look like some sort of creepy troll in a tracksuit, but he does still have the bomb. And even though the terrorists are hiding under our beds and stuffing every cookie jar in America with dirty bombs, it still wouldn't kill us to give Lil' Kim a glance from time to time. He's not exactly the most stable person around and he's very capable of making life VERY uncomfortable for those reading this in the Pacific Time Zone.

To explain what I mean, let me throw a few quotes out from a statement released by a spokesman for the DPRK organization:

"Unlike all the previous wars Korea fought, a next war will be better called the American War or the DPRK-US War because the main theater will be the continental US, with major cities transformed into towering infernos."

"The Kim administration seeks to commit nuclear weapons to actual use against the US in case of war, never to use them as a tool of negotiations. "

"A nuclear test by North Korea will go a long way toward emboldening anti-American states around the world to acquire nuclear weapons. There is a long line of candidate states. "

Of course, if that's not bothersome enough, take a look at some of the art covering buildings in Pyongyang...

Yup... pretty scary.

So, let's make it a point, all of us together, to pay a little more attention to North Korea. I know Iraq is a complete freaking disaster, the mid-term elections are upon us and our Congressmen just can't seem to keep it in their pants... but none of that's really going to amount to much when the ocean waves are breaking on the Nevada shoreline.

Just food for thought... take it or leave it.
