Is ground zero Hippie Hollow? Or UT?

You know the rule by now: If the headline asks the question, the story most likely provides the less exciting/sensational/terrifying (in this case, definitely the third) answer. From the very Telegraph article that Drudge links to:
Despite the increasingly belligerent rhetoric and new images emerging from the North Korean regime, analysts believe its missiles are not capable of striking targets as far away as the US mainland and are not, as yet, capable of delivering a nuclear payload.
North Korea's state-media announced earlier today that Kim Jong-un has ordered his missile units on standby to strike the United States and South Korea. The bluster was accompanied by a photo containing a not-so-secret (or believable) message: a chart over Kim Jong-un's shoulder showing a "U.S. mainland strike plan." NK News took a closer look at the chart and discovered what appears to be the reclusive nation's public wish list: Hawaii, Washington, D.C., Southern California (Los Angeles or possibly San Diego), and Austin, Texas. The first three make sense given geography and politics; no one seems to have any clue about how that last one made it on.
Given how unpredictable Kim Jong-un has already proved, the latest threat isn't entirely being brushed off by the international community. Still, the Pentagon doesn't appear to be very worried. "The United States is fully capable of defending itself and our allies,” Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. Catherine Wilkinson told reporters in Washington today. "North Korea’s bellicose rhetoric and threats follow a pattern designed to raise tensions and intimidate others."

“GDP of North Korea — $32.7 Billion USD
GDP of Texas — $1.142 TRILLION
Texas’ GDP is THIRTY TIMES larger than North Korea’s.”
Heck, the GDP of North Korea doesn’t even equal Bill Gates’s personal fortune.
Hey Cathy, you guys can't even defend our border with Mexico, or defend the people of the U.S. from this ever controlling dictatorial socialist running the government.
BTW Mr. mdmathis, I noted ya cherry picked your quote from my post with the rest chasing you into the tall grass.
Lemme help ya here.
Ya think the epic Mexican drug smuggling thing is the only thing happening? If ya got out more you'd find millions from Mexico have choked off our social services, welfare, our health care and hospitals...Millions of these people entering illegally during war time yet, have raped, robbed, knifed, shot, tortured, embezzled and burglarized tens of hundreds of thousands of Americans...In fact, they've completely undermined and compromised your entire electoral process...
But don't worry Mr. mathis, after decades of this country killing attack on our country, the Pentagon is standing by for their orders...yuk yuk..
Right. And if drugs were legal, criminals wouldn't be making tens of billions of dollars from American drug users - just as they don't from American users of the mind-altering drug alcohol.
Drug using Americans have the blood of many thousands of murdered Mexicans and others on their hands
Takes two to motivate and provide resources to murderous drug criminals: users, and a War on Drugs. Supporters of the latter have no less blood on their hands than the users do.
Yes,I know.It's understood that I'd be doing a bit of traveling. I didn't mention their capital because I can't spell the damn name! ;-)
Hello?
Gig'em, Ags!
He must have heard that Austin has been bombed way back since the 60’s.
Kim Jong-Un upset that he could not get reservation at Alamo Cinema Draft for the Russell Brand movie marathon on Sunday nite
LOL!
North Korea must be out of money again,happen every time.
Oh, we LIKES the UT now. Praying they never fire Mack.
Is ground zero Hippie Hollow? Or UT?
“Maybe from a cargo vessel in the Gulf, but really doubtful they could launch from Norkland and reach that far.”

“Bombing Austin would probably be a major net benefit to the Republic of, uh, State of Texas. We should encourage them...”
As long as they’re on target. I’m in Houston, so I hope they have a decent guidance system.
They are same same.
California has been all through that.
In fact decades ago I remember seeing bumper stickers everywhere: "Welcome to California, now go home".
It's why I get kick of those in other states begging people to go there....I'm all for it!
The more that leave here the better!
BTW, the complaining and bumper stickers didn't work back then.
It figures with your freep name(”say no to nannies) that you would take this position. Legalization would lead to taxation of the drugs and then again illegal end runs around the law with different violent players getting involved. There is something about the “easily addicted” that they must fulfill their addictions no matter what effects they have on themselves and society. And yes they are an added cost and burden to all those around them.
They are generally selfish and self absorbed and are bellicose to anyone who might somehow want to limit their “freedom”. These people have blood on their hands and because of the health profession I work in with the constant exposure to the “drug and alcohol crowd”, I’ve become sick and tired of seeing the families they have ruined, their own health they have ruined, and seeing the waste they have made of their lives!
Our founding fathers recognized that our “civic freedoms and God given rights” are dependent upon a populace who were individually and INTERNALLY governed to a large degree by a faith in God and adherence to Judeo Christian principles.
Kim Jong-un, I double dog dare you to bomb Detroit, Michigan. I will even give the co-ordinates!
