FWIW, gold traders (green line = current) aren't going crazy:

If it was 8:54 PM EDT, there's no discernable change either then or just now at 11 PM EDT when the news came out.

The big jump on Thursday (blue line) was attributed to the grumbling that England's credit rating was starting to get iffy coming out just as the NYSE opened.

On a L Ron Paul site, he said
We ought to just sit back and take a breath and realize that North Korea is not a threat to the United States of America.

Ron is evil , very ill or both

"While Obama lay sound asleep"

He’s a drunk so it’s more likely he is in an alcohol induced coma.

We should have expected this to happen. Now the North Koreans can sell the bomb for a pot full of money—maybe even feed some of their starving millions. The only bad thing is the next bomb blast could be over American Soil.

Our enemies see we our Leadership under Obama in FREE FALL and they are going to do whatever they wish.

Knowing that Obama will make no move to punish them in ANY significant way.

Obama is an International JOKE and capable of no from of power projection to keep the inmates from running the asylum.

HOPEY-CHANGEY is going to get Americans killed over these 4 years and has made the world an unsafe place for Americans for generations to come.

One man’s fizzle is another man’s EMP. Good enough to shut down Seoul’s electronics before a conventional attack.

15 Kt is about the size of the weapon that took out Hiroshima. Although a lot of the damage was done by fires after the initial blast.

The real question is, how long before they can take their science project out of the cave and weaponize it. It takes a lot of engineering to make a warhead's "physics package" survive as a ballistic missile RV...

The Government of Japan will be going on Alert momentarily. South Korea already is.

The little bastard's news media from Pyongyang announced it just a little while ago.

It is larger than the 2006 blast in that same tunnel in KILCHU, this time the backed in the high explosives or nukes or whatever, from the Western Side of that tunnel. 11:30 pm Sunday local USA time

Yeah, it's sad, but I don't think our President really cares. He'd blame Bush and use it as an excuse to enslave us if it were to happen.
