You’ve heard by now that that North Korea has Austin, Texas, on their nuclear target list.

Our buddy Harold Cook has his take on it (prepare yourself for a few Austin insider jokes).  (Okay, I said the whole “Austin insider” thing because I am deeply jealous that there are only three people who “get” Richmond, Texas, insider jokes.)

I suspect Kim Jong-un wants to take out his main competition in  The World’s Dumbest Evil Leader.

Check this out:  Rick Perry says he completely understands why Kim picked Austin.  It’s because Austin is truly  “a very important city.”

Asked about North Korea’s decision to single out the relatively small city of Austin, known more for college parties and music festivals than for political power, he said he’s treating it as a “very real threat.” While he wouldn’t speculate as to whether North Korea has the missile capability to reach Austin, Perry did show some sense of pride that the city found itself on the “Very Important American Cities” list.

Oh dear Lord, Rick Perry takes Kim Jong-un very seriously.   And himself.  Rick Perry takes himself very seriously.  That makes two of them.

I ain’t scared of no nuke.  However, THAT scares me.  A lot.  I say just let them meet somewhere and duke it out.
