This spoof of Yahoo! News has a story on a North Korean missile blowing up the moon, Kim Jong-il explaining why he did it, and of course Bush’s response. Mildly amusing.
Outward Bound, an international non-profit outdoor education program, is offering fully funded (including transportation to/from sites) outdoor adventure excursions to all OEF/OIF veterans. It doesn't matter what your current military status is (active, inactive, discharged, retired) - you're eligible to attend as long as you deployed in support of OEF/OIF combat operations while in the military.
- #Via AFP: “South Korea has lifted an overseas travel ban on Hwang Jang-Yop, the highest-ranking North Korean defector ever to come here and a harsh critic of the Pyongyang regime. . . Hwang, former secretary of the ruling Workers' Party and an ex-tutor of Kim Jong-Il, defected during a trip to Beijing in 1997.” His travel restriction was due to 10 years of pro-North ROK leadership, now over.

- #In a previous post on Pyongyang Soju being imported to the U.S., I used pics from a bottle I have, which was purchased in South Korea. Jason Perlow of Off the Broiler sampled some Pyongyang Soju at a Korean restaurant in New Jersey and has photos of the updated labels (looks like it was $5.99 a bottle).

North Korea’s ICBMs can’t make it past the Sea of Japan – or much further than Japan, in the first failed launch – much less break out of the atmosphere and make it to the moon. I wouldn’t be too surprised if the next one blew up on the launch pad.

Really? Are you interested in buying some genuine fake North Korean $100 bill “supernotes”? Only $150 each plus shipping (no tax!), and your bank won’t even be able to tell the difference. Let me know.

Silly Koreans. I bet all the poor North Koreans are supportive of the moon’s demise when they can’t even get more than a single meal a day.
