Another Threat from the Piss-ant Norks

Another day, another threat of nuclear annihilation from North Korea.

Yawn.

SEOUL, South Korea—Punching their fists into the air and shouting "Let's crush them!" some 100,000 North Koreans packed Pyongyang's main square Thursday for an anti-U.S. rally as the communist regime promised a "fire shower of nuclear retaliation" for any American-led attack.

Several demonstrators held up a placard depicting a pair of hands smashing a missile with "U.S." written on it, according to footage taken by APTN in Pyongyang on the anniversary of the day North Korean troops charged southward, sparking the three-year Korean War in 1950.

North Korean troops will respond to any sanctions or U.S. provocations with "an annihilating blow," one senior official vowed—a pointed threat as an American destroyer shadowed a North Korean freighter sailing off China's coast, possibly with banned goods on board.

Apparently these yahoos have no clue as to how many nuclear devices we could drop on their little piss-ant country if we took a notion to do so. Sure, it wouldn't make the South Koreans very happy, would serious torque the Chinese, and the Japanese are still awfully jittery about those two little bombs we dropped nearly 64 years ago.

But if the Norks do something foolish too quickly, they better have dug some themselves some serious bomb shelters.

Of course, if Waxman-Markey passes Congress, we probably can't afford the carbon offsets on even a tiny nuclear exchange with pissant North Korea. Have you made that call to your congressperson yet?
