In a 1945 essay titled "Funny, But Not Vulgar," George Orwell argued that "A thing is funny when ... it upsets the established order." Toward the end of the essay, Orwell added: "To be funny, indeed, you have got to be serious."

Kim can't handle real sunshine — the truth. In the 60 years since the Korean War began, South Korea has decisively defeated North Korea in the social and economic spheres. Only in military terms, in the base destructive power of Pyongyang's large armies and nascent nuclear weapons program, does the North challenge the South. War is all Kim has.

It's time to end the Korean War and that means ending the Kim regime, not placating it. That's the message to send Pyongyang.
Until South Korea and the Obama administration face that fact, the wicked joke is on us

Right. It is almost certain that that is one of the reasons they decided to do it.
When OBL targeted the towers he did not think there would be much push back. The axis of evil is up to the old games - testing the will of American leaders.
Your son is one of the safest persons in the world as long as he is on that sub. I say this with authority as an old Sonar Tech.
Thanks. I think I'd still like it better if he was on a boomer.
Boomers are targets of attack subs.
Yeah, but the NORKS don't have any.
Why is the press not screaming at Obama about taking a second m-f’ing vacation since the oil spill “he’s handled since day one”, but because of the Korea situation that’s the worst its been since 1953? The pissant takes off to Chicago like there’s nothing going on in the world that commands his god-like attention.
Let me tell you the lapdop, puppet shute press would be crawling up the ass of any other president and any of their press secretaries’ butts demanding to know what steps they were taking to prevent all-out war from starting on the peninsula, and wringing their hands because Kim’s a nutjob with nukes and this might be the last hurrah as North Korea’s pretty much done for and feels it hasn’t got much to lose...
You know the press would be merciless and at the very least, asking questions and skewering any president taking ANOTHER F’ING VACATION in such a short time.
I believe Obama has looked in the mirror and KNOWS he’s in over his head. He knows he cannot do the job. ANd he’s freaking out in plain sight.
Fast attack boats are designed to sneak up on boomers....
I know. But nobody that has any is pissed off at us right now.
But the Russians do.
I would like to start a pro-SK petition.
On the grounds that a robust defense of the peninsula is necessary so that Son Dambi will keep making videos like this:

They’ve got stuff that hunts attack subs, too.
No. Not really.
NorKo has done this before, and they’ll likely do it again.
NorKo is run by a 2 year old craving attention.
LOL.
And operates the very finest counterfeiting operation for American $100 bills. It is one of NK's top exports, right up there with nukes stuff.
At the appropriate time his sub will get appropriate orders to attack NK warships with the stricture that there must be no one hurt.
I wonder if Kim would do an Adolf Hitler "Gotterdamerung" type of thing to go out with a bang, so to speak.
North Korea has all kinds of military, but my sense is that they are good for a sunday punch and that is about it.
Supporting an army in the field is expensive and takes superior logistics.The North doesn't have it.
If they don't get to Seoul in the first 36 hours that will about wrap it up.
Bump.
