Hard to mask a global screw-up

Can’t you just hear North Korea’s new ruler, young Kim Jong Un, saying to his military and science leaders: “You’ve got some ‘plaining to do!”

That follows the global screw-up of the rocket launch today that quickly went bust as it splintered into pieces over the Yellow Sea shortly after takeoff. Dude, say it isn’t so!

And there was all of that military bluster over making the world nervous because North Korea might launch some serious weapon at the rest of the world.

With an adversary that inept, I think South Korea, Japan, the United States and the rest of the world can sleep safely tonight.
