CIA: Kim Jong Il has a small missile

As I've watched North Korea's Kim Jong Il prance across the screen in file footage this week in the wake of North Korea's nuclear weapons test, I wondered how the he** the rest of the world has tolerated this Napoleon-complexed dictator. Moreover, how has the brainwashed and starved North Korean populace tolerated it?

All that aside, what are we going to do now? Urge China and Japan to action? Enforce UN sanctions?

Two ideas have come to the attention of this blogger over the past 24 hours:

• While the muckety-mucks at the UN debate, a "U.S. government official" (per CNN.com) announced that U.S. spy agencies (CIA?) have reached three possible conclusions as to why the nuclear weapons test appears to have been "relatively small":

1. The bomb was big and powerful and the test was conducted SO FAR underground that it didn't produce the seismic after-effects they would've predicted.
2. It wasn't really a nuclear test - it was just made to look like one. They actually conducted the test using conventional explosives.
3. My personal favorite: the test went awry and only a small explosion was produced. That's right, the CIA flipped ol' Kim Jong Il the bird by telling him that his missile was either very small or that it misfired. Soulmate has informed me that some Asian men are very self-concious about "missile" size so the CIA's accusation should cause even more consternation than it would in a country full of more well-endowed missiles...Granted, insulting foreign leaders isn't really a viable way to deal with the problem, but it sure is amusing.

I'm off to eat Nutella directly out of the jar. Enjoy your Wednesday.
