Hey, “GrabMySlong” is a great name for a No. Korean missile.
Sort of like Michael Jackson on Kimchee.

Didn’t Madeline and Bubba give N. Korea the nuclear warhead to balance the power? Wasn’t that what Bill Gertz wrote about in Betrayal?

“Kwangmyongsong-2”
OK, this is embarrasing...You would think they would have come up with a name that translated better that this...
All the more reason to shoot it down...We cannot have anything in space with a name like this...
Ohhh, the humanity of it all...

I think “Kwangmyongsong-2” is kinda euphonious, but find it a bit presumptuous to be going around firing off “Kwangmyongsong-2” before you've explained what happened to “Kwangmyongsong-1”.

It won't do to be having a miss-sile named “Kwangmyongsong-2” flying about in an exclusive neighborhood like this.

I’ve been wondering why no one has come in with the proverbial:
“Kreamofsumyungguy-2” moniker???
Geesh, we must be slipping people!!! ;-)
