We’ll just keep our heads in the sand by shouting that it was only another dud instead of a small nuke. Pride goes before victory, you know. ;-)

Gadzooks! Isn't it sweet how Kim Jong-il celebrated... our Fearless Leader's very first Memorial Day?

Little Kim knew there was nothing to fear when Obama had the military stand down on those recent April North Korean missile tests.

The Øbamanation is right on schedule. North Korea pops a second nuke, then Iran's first and coming soon, Muzzie Mushrooms will be sprouting up over DC, New York and LA, not to mention Israel.

All compliments of Barack, Joe, Nancy, Harry, Barney, etc!

And who will be blamed by these sumbitches and their willing cohorts in the elite media?

W and Dick Cheney, of course!

Hope those who voted for these traitorous Democrat fools are happy--

All he has to do is to bash Bush and Cheney, and the problem would be solved. If that fails, bash Rush Limbaugh, whether Chia Head cares about dissing Rush or not./srac
