I was breaking up ice on my front sidewalk this afternoon and spent the time thinking about North Korea pulling out of the six-way talks and announcing that they have nuclear weapons. I know. Busy day, huh?

Anyway, my conclusion was that they must be crazy up there. Because they have at most 4, maybe five nukes that can maybe just barely reach LA; and we still have ninety bazillion nukes. Kim Jong Il must be crazy to think we're not willing to use them; or else he's forgotten about that whole cold war thing which rested on our willingness to get into both a conventional and a nuclear war against a superior force....
