N. Koreans Ordered To Raise Their Flag At 2PM, and Listen to Broadcast

N. Korean leadership ordered its citizen to raise their flag and listen to their (government) communique from TV in the evening, according to Sankei Shimbun (of Japan), quoting Japanese government sources.

The paper said it is paying attention this development because it could be related to the launch of Taepodong-2.

I got nothing thus far, just a brief Chinese newscast. I'll make you a Bloody Mary in the morning.

Sleep well, Sir.

One hour past 2 am in NK

[lonevoice]

Weird. Fox Radio news is now reporting that NK's test launch is expected to occur at any moment. No one else is reporting this?

[Buddy B]

2 pm

I'm going to knock off too. Wake me if the world ends...

[Luke Skyfreeper]

At any moment? Damn, it'll probably take place right after I go to bed.

[jazusamo]

It always looks real. I actually hope this one is.

Me too, what a find if it is. It will sure change a lot of peoples pessemistic rants if it turns out to be it.

[Rain-maker]

Said they were fueling it and could launch at any minute is what I heard.

[don-o]

Bloody Mary in the morning.

Sunday tradition here. Thanks in advance!

[lainie]

I couldn't do his job. It'd be too much "you want me to say that? that's stupid."

Fox news is saying diddly about anything in its news break. There is something shocking that I see now, though: I can't believe Beltway Boys is still on the air.

[IslandJeff]

Heck yes - just in time for the World Cup, assuming Kimmie didn't knock out a satellite.

[don-o]

I'm turning up my speakers real loud for a shout out!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Only if you have the energy left!

What TIME IS IT at your house? ;)

[IslandJeff]

But surely you wear mascara better?

From the news ticker:

Foreign Minister Taro Aso says Japan will consider invoking a law that can ban certain ships from entering Japanese ports, if North Korea launches its Taepodong 2 ballistic missile. Aso, mentioning the possibility that it may land in the Japanese territory, said that if the missile is launched, Japan will immediately bring the matter to the UN Security Council.

I baked banana peels in my parents' oven when I was in HS, because we heard it was something psychedelic (though we didn't know what that meant - yet) we could smoke like the hippies in the Haight did.

You know, the thing I Haight about Ashbury ........

[onyx]

A little after 1:00 AM. I am finished. They arrive tomorrow afternoon. I shall sleep til Noon!

Perhaps someone is asleep at the switch. Oh, its 2am here! Maybe they are on a CBS Sunday prime time hold.

[NonValueAdded]

I do believe Murtha has that honor now.

Moldy rye produces a chemical similar to LSD...the teenager tripped his or her BRAINS out!

Actually what it produces is a precursor to LSD called ergatomine. It's a poison.

In the old days dying from it produced twitching limbs which rotted from gangrene. It was called St. Vitus Dance and was almost always lethal.
