Bat Shit Crazy

According to the North Korean state media, it successfully placed a communications satellite into orbit about ten minutes later, and safely cleared northern Japan where batteries of Patriot missile interceptors were on standby in case of a misfiring.

North Korea claims that the satellite is presently broadcasting songs in praise of its supreme leader Kim Jong Il, and his late father, Kim Il Sung. It said that the Kwangmyongsong 2, or Lodestar, was orbiting between 490 kilometres (306 miles) and 1,426 km from earth in a cycle lasting 104 minutes.

“It is sending to the earth the melodies of the immortal revolutionary paeans Song of General Kim Il Sung and Song of General Kim Jong Il,” the Korean Central News Agency said. “The carrier rocket and the satellite developed by the indigenous wisdom and technology are the shining results gained in the efforts to develop the nation's space science and technology on a higher level.”

But the US military reported that the rocket’s payload failed to enter orbit and fell into the sea.

Friggin' US military . . . what a buzzkill.

And we don't need any damned satellite to broadcast Song of POTUS B. Hussein Obama and Song of the Dream His Father Once Had Involving Ten Virgin Goats . . . we have MSNBC.
