I predict it will be awful

… Fox, alone among the Big Four networks without a late-night franchise, is now developing a pilot called “This Just In,” from “24” executive producer Joel Surnow, that’s being described as a conservative answer to “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.”

a conservative answer to “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.” — Too late, it’s been done, It’s called The Colbert Report. 🙂

But seriously, the reason a show like the The Daily Show works so well, is its willngness to mock authority figures from both the left and right and its ability to be irreverent — something a conservative show will be unable to do.

I predict this show will be nothing but an attempt at a Bush hagiography littered with Clinton jokes.

North Korea in the Dark

Here’s a satellite photo of the Korean peninsula at night. Notice the difference between North and South Korea. I guess there’s a reason the official web site for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) is actually hosted from a server in Spain.

Maybe he thought it was a double leap year or something

These budget numbers are not just estimates; these are the actual results for the fiscal year that ended February the 30th.

North Korean Dud?

(via What’s new by Bob Park – Friday, October 13, 2006)

1. FIZZLE? SOMETHING EXPLODED, BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT.

There was a seismic event near Kilju, North Korea. The signature was characteristic of an explosion: a sharp leading edge, unlike the release of elastic energy in a tectonic movement. But so far there is no report of airborne radioactivity, which is the most reliable evidence of a test and says the most about what sort of nuclear device it was. North Korea says it was deep underground, but there is typically some venting. If it was a nuclear bomb, it was very small. Bomb freaks in the Pentagon hyperventilate at the thought of a mini-nuke, but a fizzle would be more likely.

Not to mention a mini-nuke would indicate a level of sophistication beyond North Korea’s current nuclear capabilities.
