there was a very poor country ruled by a strange and evil emperor, named Kim. Kim didn’t like it that other countries didn’t take his seriously, so he threw lots of tantrums to get attention, and spent his money on pornography as his people starved.
–What’s pornograpy, Daddy?
Picture books for grown-ups, honey. Anyway, this bad emperor wanted to seem important, so he constructed a big nasty bomb. Everybody told him not to blow up the big nasty bomb, but he did it anyway. It was only a little big nasty bomb, and he blew it up underground.
–Why did he do that?
To show that he could. So that he could try to threaten people to do what he wished.
–Then how did anyone know that he blew it up?
Because he said so.
–What if he was lying?
Very clever, my girl. Everyone knew that he was a terrible liar, and he was a very vain man.
–What’s vain?
Vain is proud of yourself, especially if you think you’re much better than you are.
Anyway, so he made this little explosion of his terrible bomb, but some people thought that he was just lying. When a bomb goes off, it shakes the ground, and when a big bomb goes off, it shakes the ground so much that it can be felt by groundshaking feeling machines, even far away. So some people who make and use these machines called the US Geological Survey said that the bomb must have been so tiny that their machines couldn’t feel it. And because he was vain, the bad emperor got mad.
So he built another, bigger bomb, and he blew that one up. And the scientists with the machines said, nope, our machines couldn’t feel that one, either. So he built another, bigger bomb, and he blew that up, and it shook the earth so much that mud rolled over one of the villages in his country, but he didn’t care.
–He must be very bad. So, did they feel that one?
Yes, they said that they had felt that one.
–So did he build another bomb?
No, honey, because he had run out of bomb-making stuff. And then the United States Navy bombed the places that made the stuff that made the bombs go until they were piles of smoking ruins. The End.
–Night, Daddy. I love you.
I love you, too, honey. Sleep well.
*sniff* That was beautiful man, just beautiful.
I just love happy endings….
Sometimes “There goes the neighborhood” is good news.
”….Sources are reporting the President Hillary Clinton has made a statement from the White house just moments ago, pointedly condemning the destruction of Pyungyang by the Japanese military, saying that “[the] recent bombing in Tokyo”, (in which 25,000 people died from the nuclear blast), “…was insufficient provication for the actions of the Japanese government, and that they should have given negotiations a chance, since war never solves anything”.
– Speaking from the WH underground bunker, secretary of state, Nancy Pelosi, said that “[now], more than ever the United states needs to take the lead by eliminating its atomic weapons, to set an example for the world, and pave the way to international cohesiveness and mutual understanding…”
– In other news Middle East observers think it is only a matter of time before Iran, now armed with nuclear weapons, will overrun Iraq, and attack Isreal. With the pullout of Western forces under the present US administration, there remains no one to counter the Islamic advance. France is expected to speak in front of the UN, detailing Iran’s right to expansion, after years of oppression by the West.”
– Welcome to a possible “Secular Progressive” future.
BBH,
You really know how to harsh my mellow.
I think I like Dan’s story better.
And that’s a good point too. How is something like this verified? If it’s deep underground is it possible to verify?
And does anyone think he’s just bluffing?
– Actually luna, the fact that it was pinpointed at zero depth, (less than a few hundred feet) is exactly what you would expect from a test blast. Whether it was nuclear or not is another question. Apparently things are due to get even worse. Since the magnitude indicated a fizzle, the NK has announced it will do it again thursday to make sure they hasten their own demise.
That’s interesting. So I guess it was verified. I missed that.
But why only a few hundred feet? The photos I’ve seen of the train station look deeper than that.
– Well if it fizzled, a smallish blast, it would make the exact epicenter less distinct. Most US tests were in caverns 500 feet to a quarter mile deep. the nuclear aspects could be detected by “sniffer” over-flights, since it’s almost impossible to contain the radioactive effluse 100%. There are other ways to confirm it one way or another. A larger blast will leave a more distinctive “footprint”.
Makes sense. Thanks Big Bang.
The things I never considered. I am so not ready for a bomb of my own.
Someone should point out that ‘the mad dog, Kim. got the money to develop a nuclear weapon from none other than ‘Slick Willie Clinton. Delivered by none other than Madam AllNotToBright who had a grand party and toasted the mad dog.
That wasn’t enough so Slick and Algore traded China the worlds most advanced missile guidence system for a few thousand dollar in campaign donations. Got caught and ended up with nothing to show for it, but China kept the guidence system.
So we will be facing a nuclear missile paid for by us and it will arrive on a missile guided by our best guidence system.
Now I really feel safe enough to give power back to the democrats. NOT!
– By “footprint” I mean your neighbors swimming pool would definately dissappear.
Yes, I figured. I’m guessing my neighbors as well.
Heck, the developers would love that. One swimming pool left and you could totally fit 4 condos in that space!
Someone should point out that ‘the fat dog eater, Kim. got the money to develop a nuclear weapon from none other than ‘Slick Willie Clinton. Delivered by none other than Madam AllNotToBright who had a grand party and roasted the fat dog.
Fixed that for you.
– speaking of Hillery, how about an old fashioned Ho-down? Well at least half a Ho-down…Link
Heeheeeheee. That’s great.
Should be required viewing for all serious voters.
Please consider this
Well, blubonnet I have some time on my hands so I may play along.
But first tell me how Republican sex scandals are to blame for NK testing a nuclear bomb.
I eagerly wait your next comment.
Or rather await.
Good God what is happening here?
Even the trolls aren’t sticking around.
I showered and even had a fairly good hair day.
I have some pent up posting to do because I couldn’t connect for a while. And before that I couldn’t decide which post to comment on.
And it’s all comin’ out tonite cuz I have time.
So there. To nobody.
I’m so ronerly, so ronery and sadry arone….
Gee, blubonnet, one wonders if someone who has enough bile and bitterness in their soul could, possibly, put togther a site of nothing but Democrats who have sexual pecadillos in their pasts. The difference is that mosy of them will be supported by their party and re-elected.
Hell hath no fury like BDS.
Well, I can troll if necessary. But I only do it tag-team.
Actus?
Man, that’s the last time I give that brother 20 bucks.
