OK, fans and devotees, we will get to the North Korean nuke blast in a little bit. The temp in the heartland has started to move toward coldness today. We are supposed to get to temps in the 20s in a few days. I am not at all ready for that, even though I have been collecting flannel Earl shirts and coats and blankets for a month or so. And I am in long pants. Please do not let shorts weather go away just yet. Whine and whine.
I have an idea to start making this blog a micro drudge report, with bits of news from all over picked out from news web sites, but it may take time to get infobits collected. So far, I have the following bits: R. W. Apple, of the New York Times, died at age 71 on Oct. 4: 29 US troops were killed in Iraq in the first week of October: Kalamazoo College Hornets beat Tri State Thunder 33-30 Saturday: Beverly Hills Normans beat the Palos Verdes Sea Kings 26-7. I wanted to list the last game played by Hollywood High-but their website is way off schedule. There is a mess concerning Paul Vance, who composed Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Polka Dot Bikini in 1960. He was supposed to have died a few weeks ago, but it appears that another guy with the same name was the one who died, but both guys claimed to have written the song.
The news came out late last night that NK had finally set off its nuke. So far no one has done anything about it except talk and opine. A lady from Newsweek was on Fox this morning and blamed W for the whole mess--because he did not talk enough to Kim and show him some respect. On Drudge there is a story that there is some question as to whether the blast was actually nuclear, or just a huge load of dynamite. Rush this afternoon broke the rules of PCness and was calling Kim a dog eater.
I am currently watching the Couric show and she is not actually doing a bad job as an anchor.
Old Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes last night mentioned that he did not a great knowledge of geography, by saying that he did not know where Sierra Leone and Sri Lanka were. Odd for him to say such stuff because he has been in the news business since WW2 and has been all over the world reporting for several decades.
I am going to wind up this thing right now. There will be lots more on Nkorea as the days go by, or it will fizzle out as an issue. You all take care. Di di mau!
