North Korea?

Am I the only one that is associating the theme for M.A.S.H. (Suicide is painless) by Johnny Mandel with how well it fits these trying times of "Fire and Fury" the likes of which the world has never seen?

So the world laughs that only 25% of Americans actually know where North Korea is? Hmmm... In this day and age, only a GPS and an ICBM are needed to find them. With a little help from Google Earth, we can watch the fireworks from a safe distance.

It's funny how the media plays down America's missile defense and the US military brags about how good it is. Truth be known, I bet America has things in their arsenal that the world hasn't even seen in action yet: railguns, lasers, and space drones.

I'm not so much worried about North Korea. The standoff between China and India is the real spark that can set the world ablaze and it isn't getting near the headlines as North Korea.

@ the OP. The M*A*S*H* theme song has not entered my mind for even a second. North Korea is a volatile situation with a scary insane ruler who thinks he can do whatever pleases him.

And Kim Jong Un.

Q: What's the difference between a songwriter and a poet?
A: Royalties.

M*A*S*H story: Robt Altman was paid about US$75k to direct the film. He needed a song for a scene and asked pro Johnny Mandel for the stupidest lyrics possible. Mandel said he couldn't write anything that dumb. Altman's 13-year-old son offered to try, and you've heard the results.

Then M*A*S*H went TV and played for decades, with that stupid song's melody as the theme music. Mandel's and the Altman kid's name are both on the copyright. They get royalties everytime the theme plays anywhere. Both have made millions in royalties. I hope the Altman kid gave his dad some.

ObTopic: Oh yeah, North Korea. Has anyone heard from Kim the last few days?
