This is beyond serious. Victor Davis Hanson has already posted, From Foley to Footnotes:
North Korea may well have let off a 20-kiloton nuke. Last week Iran’s Ahmadinejad ridiculed efforts to corral his own nuclear ambitions. The stock market was nearing an all-time high. The deficit is suddenly falling in near record fashion. Falling gas prices might hit $2 a gallon. In Iraq, the U.S. military was taking on the Shiite militias.
And what was Washington in response talking about?
A pederastic flirtatious Congressman who wrote soft porn emails to his targeted virtual sex victims. Yes, “Mark Foley” now warrants about 23,000,000 Google matches—or about four million more Google hits than for the founder of Western philosophy, the Platonically pederastic “Socrates.” Perhaps when one of Foley’s former pages—one now claims at 21 to have had relations with his mentor— pens a Republic or Laws we will duly appreciate this better known genius who earned more attention from our contemporary electronic world in a week’s worth of IM messages than poor Socrates had after some 2400 years. And after the Dick Cheney shotgun hysteria, the flushed Koran, and all the other nonstories, it is legitimate to ask whether the New York and Washington media are simply unhinged.
I don't think Professor Hanson thinks we're serious enough about our national security. Sounds right.
Hugh Hewitt's post is up also, North Korea Goes Critical:
The Clinton-Kim 1994 Agreement, midwifed by Jummy Carter, bears its fruit.
How long until the gangster regime sells its wares to jihadists?
Pajamas Media coverage is here.
But the yield was very low-there are doubts that this was a nuclear explosion.
