North Korea is getting brasher.
Obama needs to put another call in to the UN.

Obama tried to modulate the impact of the Vice President's words that the administration had somehow miscalculated. "No, no, no, no, no," he said. "Rather than say 'misread,' we had incomplete information." However, he said, "There's nothing that we would have done differently."

More proof that socialism only enslaves, and as it fails, the fascist element will emerge, shutting down all independent sources of information, leading to more and more government control of our lives (like forcing us to accept homosexuality).

Mark my words. There will be uprisings, and maybe even secessions. If Barack Hussein Obama wants a war, he's gonna get it!

obama sure is playing offense this summer. taking over the poppy fields in helmand through the harvest, and the intelligence behind the drone attacks is getting better - maybe the ISI is finally on board.

@13: Yeah, Basil. And, you know what? Long live the sons of violation! Fuck the army and double-fuck the stinking judiciales! El higado no existe! The liver does not exist! How crazy are we bastards! Like wild horses of the Sierra! Ay-ay-AY!

(Thanks to Richard Grant for writing God's Middle Finger. Just finished it.)

@13 ZOMG!!! is that the president's REAL middle name?!?!

You must know something the rest of us don't. Do go on.

Re: "Didn't I." That's weird. Obama was visiting Russia and negotiating arms reductions; Russia was feeling its oats; yet Monday's cyberattacks were supposedly made by North Korea? They have computers? Maybe I'd better zoom in on them from space again and check for phone lines.
