I noticed MOG mentioned the fact that it was a three day old story. When I saw the AP news blip this morning around 3AM, it read like real news. I freaked, as one would rationally react to North Korea setting off a nuclear bomb near their Chinese border, and immediately started blogging it up on my political site… only then I paused. I thought about how AP often screws up stories and doesn’t write them clearly enough. Sure enough, it wasn’t a brand new story. It’s been around for days. And, there’s other stories claiming they are practically sure it’s not a nuclear test.
What ever happened to clear journalism? Are bloggers the only people interested in the details and facts anymore?

No, a mushroom cloud bothers me, and the likelihood they’ll do a surface test is very good from the rhetoric I’ve read lately. It’s very concerning. They’ll possibly lose a good number of citizens when they do their test. North Korea doesn’t have a couple of deserts or hundreds of miles of tundra, like the US and Russia. We stupidly tested that crap on our own soil, both of us. And, due to blessings of land mass, we didn’t kill that many of our own to do it. But, North Korea isn’t the same situation at all.
What I want to know is why were the South Koreans testing nuclear devices? That seems to have the North Koreans (logically) upset.

Nuclear or not, am I the only one who is disturbed that NoKor can actually produce mushroom-cloud explosions?
