    Jon Gruden has volunteered to sit down with North Korea and review their mechanics with them.

    Saw NBC (?) say there was only a handful of engineers and six telephones in the launch command center.

    Seriously, how many North Koreans have even escaped to the U.S.? Or South Korea?

    This launch has been in the works for a while, hasn't it? North Korea was supposedly launching a satellite of some sort, which of course most of the western nations weren't buying. They all figured it was a long-range missile test. Either way, it's been known about for some time. I think last week Japan even deployed some Patriot batteries along its coast and had ships ready to knock down the missile if it got too close.

    I think North Koreans use Google+.

    The GLG20s must've gotten involved.

    According to AP, North Korea state media says the rocktet "fails to enter its orbit."
    That's a shocking admission for them. If you think of how Dear Leader's golf game was reported. you'd think they'd claim the rocket is on the surface of Mars already.

    Think of the scholarships that the scientists are losing because of the state media's coverage.

    If I'm the Secretary of State, I'm calling the North Koreans and saying, "Wow, we sure did blow your rocket up real good. Do you have any more?" How would they know for sure?

    2 things.....

    1. I am mildly disappointed that milehigh did not use the thread title "North Korea Raunches Rocket"

    2. I heard someone call the new leader "Lil Kim" the other night, and about wet myself.

    That is all.
