lets crank 'er up again

I am trapped in the blogsphere and can't get out.

I have been scanning the online news today, and I noticed first that there was no evidence that the DPRK was about to test a nuke, and now, about five hours later, every news agency in the world is wondering and speculating about a North Korean nuke test.

I have said this before, but it bears repeating.

Ignore them.

I know it is the nature of the media t pick up on everything and report it, analyze it, scrutinize it and publicize it to death, but we are creating a story here, to the benefit of Kim Jong Il and nobody else.

Ignore him, let the little f**ker sweat and fret that the world is not paying him his due. If he has a nuke to test, we cannot (or will not) stop it, and we will know, one way or the other, soon enough.

If a test does in fact take place, we ought to park two or three nuclear-armed warships off his coast, just to let him know that we care.

Aside from that, ignore him, give his country zero in the way of aid, and no latitude at all in any arena, not so much as a free ride on parking at the U.N.

so there.
