Norks Launch Another Missile As Obama Hits Vegas for Fundraiser

I imagine Obama was working on his putting stroke on his way west to shake down some fatcats for Dingy Harry.

The cards may not be stacked in President Obama's favor as he arrives in Las Vegas tonight for a fundraiser with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev..

More than three months after the president's comments suggesting executives avoid using taxpayer money to fund trips like junkets to Vegas, Obama could receive a lukewarm reception Tuesday at Caesar's Palace.

I guess while he's off on fundraising junkets somebody's back monitoring what he yesterday termed a grave crisis, one turining more grave by the hour.

North Korea has fired off another missile, the latest in a series since its nuclear test two days ago, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said Wednesday.

The North fired a short-range missile into the Sea of Japan (East Sea) overnight, it quoted a Seoul government source as saying.

"Intelligence authorities are now closely monitoring the situation," the source said.

The communist state fired three short-range ground-to-air missiles from locations near its east coast on Monday, the same day it conducted an underground nuclear test that shocked the world.

Shocked the world? Who exactly is shocked by what they do any more?

As for the grave crisis, all Obama says is I'm going to Vegas, baby!
