Meanwhile, in a development that may or may not be related to the heightened security alert, an asteroid up to half a mile wide is due to brush past the Earth early today. Someone call Bruce Willis, and quick. (But tell him to leave Steve Buscemi home this time).

"It would probably be big enough to wipe out a small country"
Small as in North Korea or a bit larger like Iran?

Such low level alerts happen frequently, and the details are usually classified. The asteroid has been calculated to pass at a point beyond the distance of the Moon from us. As for North Korea's missile, if they launch, even the North Korean military doesn't know where it will land.
The hyperbole and speculation in the piece are funny. I would be much more concerned about driving carefully.

Umm.. The asteroid has already gone by several hours ago, and it was 400,000 miles away..

Maybe our Secretary of Defense is riding the thing and steering it toward an antagonistic regime. [Putting words in the mouths of DUmmies there.]

Clearly a clever ruse by the genius Karl Rove.
To: AntiGuv
Not to mention there's absolutely nothing NORAD could have done about the Asteroid were it heading for the earth.
Amazes me that there's anyone that takes anything from WingNutDaily seriously.

If an asteroid were headed for a collision with Earth, I'd have the UN adopt a resolution against asteroids and send a sternly written letter.

If it was in fact raised, anyone know if the heightened alert still exists?

The asteroid was headed for the US left coast.
It missed.
Give God credit for a mulligan.

This story is 4 or 5 days old now, was broken by a local tv news station, the only thing that WND was added is the bull about the asteroid, but the alert is real enough.
