#1 The Markey Household - A comedy in one act:

Edward J. Markey - Son, did you mow the lawn like you promised yesterday?

Son (playing Playstation) - I sure did, Dad.

EJM (looking out window) - Wait a minute... Those weeds are nearly two feet tall! You didn't mow the lawn!

Son - Can I borrow $20 and the car keys?

EJM - Sure, son, but only if you promise to mow it first thing tomorrow.

Son - Of course, Dad!

#3 Ed Markey used to be my Congressman up here in Massachusetts, Peoples Republic of. I need no stories as to what an idiot he is. Still uses his mothers house as his address in the district and lives in a million dollar estate in either MD. or VA.I don't think he could find his district on a map. Typical Dimbo Man of the People.

#4 I was wondering; what about the article seems like it might not be true? I think it does feel like someone sending a missile into our backyard means we should blow the reactors and anything else to smithereens. I don't know if with the Iraq and war on Terror if we are overextended or not being told about how we will deal with NK. It seems weird knowing this; that we would pull troops. My husband think China will fix this problem; but I can't tell if they would be secretive like the help we get in the war on terror from countries in the Middle East.

#5 The damn warhead nearly hit my welder outside, but luckily it just landed in a plowed snowpile beside him with a thud and a booooshhhh, and some funny smelling gas. We are turning it into a wastebasket as we speak.

#6 China won't fix the problem. China is the problem.

#7 Well, according to CNN, we're sending bombers to Guam. The CNN write-up begins much more bellicosely than this "Reuters" story.

CNN paints it as "sending a message" to NK, whereas "Reuters" was much more relaxed, adopting a "prudent measure" tone.

Toward the end, both stories are more similar. Both said that this wasn't a response to the interception (oh, no). Neither mentioned any warheads in Alaska.

#9 "Washington, as well as Tokyo, has so far underrated Pyongyangâs missile capabilities."

At least publicly, anyway.

If this is true, and if we wanted to make somethin' of it... well, dropping warheads on folks isn't hard to construe as an act of war. OTOH, if we were to start playing the NKOR game a little bit by having a major international tantrum and demanding an apology, it'd be awfully fun to watch... :-)
