North Korea threatens the United States of America. But we’re not worried, because President Obama warns the Norks via CBS that “the T’s are crossed and all the I’s are dotted in terms of what might happen.” Harry Smith briefly departs from drooling MSM slavishness to argue with him, albeit weakly, pointing out that “They’re still defiant.” The president assures us that having the entire U.N.
