I've been reading a good bit about North Korea's most recent announcement about its imminent plans to test a nuclear weapon for the past few days. Today's articles are all about the US "sternly" warning the Norks not to test their alleged nukes (here, here and here). For some reason that put me in mind of this scene from Team America:
Hans Blix: Mr. Il, I was supposed to be allowed to inspect your palace today, but your guards won't let me enter certain areas.
Kim Jong Il: Hans, Hans, Hans! We've been frew this a dozen times. I don't have any weapons of mass destwuction, OK Hans?
Hans Blix: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN's collective mind. I'm sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.
Kim Jong Il: Or else what?
Hans Blix: Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
Although I must admit that Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill's statement that "[North Korea] can have a future or it can have [nuclear] weapons. It cannot have both." is somewhat unnerving. Seriously, the US simply doesn't have the manpower to begin an armed conflict against yet another country. Ugh.

Anyhow, Gwen, Samson and I are getting ready to head off into the country for a few days to celebrate Chuseok (Korean "thanksgiving") with Samson's family, so I'll be away from the blog for a few days. In the meanwhile, I leave you with this gem, which I discovered for sale yesterday:

Jane, let me encourage you to go braless, and shirtless, as much as possible.
Yours in feminism,
