Sorry, I don't understand this at all.

The cablenets last night were abuzz with the "news" that North Korea's nuke test, held earlier in the week, was, well, nuclear. Oh.

Was there a secret here? I seem to recall the North Koreans publicly proclaimed that fact. So what did we expect to find out? That they were kidding?

All the twitter was based, it turns out, on a document "obtained" from a "Congressional source." The White House, for its part, announced it has "no confirmation" that the NK nuke test was, you know, nuclear, and "officials" mumble something about "no conclusive evidence." Ah.

Doesn't sound all that twitterworthy to me: "The North Koreans made something go bang. They say it was a nuke. We have no freakin' clue."

On the other hand, it does seem, somehow, par for the course.

Meanwhile, for comic relief, the DOOFUS has declared the coming week, Oct. 15-22. "National Character Counts Week." Which seems like a sort of odd topic to be bringing up just now, doesn't it?

But then, they have no clue.
