It’s Monday morning. Bleh. Who’s got the energy to bone up on why it is the Americans are having conniption fits re N. Korea, just so’s to be able to look knowledgable to your workmates in the coffee break, or even just to make sense of that burbling on the radio?

It’s a bit of a quandary for the UN security council when people don’t comply with international treaties, isn’t it? And now Kim the younger’s got space capability too.

Mind you, there is an upside to this ‘immediate threat to the international order’ -a Dr Evil with nukes against whom world leaders can unite to mutual political and economic advantage is the very thing to divert attention from the collapse of a global economy nobody seems able to fix.
