Jeffrey LewisFun With FCNL

I love the FCNL Nuclear Calendar. I like it so much, one of our amazing readers created a program that scrapes the static FCNL page and create an RSS feed from the contents.

So I was amused when a colleague noticed this little entry in the current calendar:

Feb. or March North Korea tests its Taepodong-2 ballistic missile (possible). Musudan-ri, North Korea

Funny. Very funny.

    Not to complain, merely to note – or maybe merely to highlight my ignorance – but the RSS Feed link provides outdated data from Sept 08 thru the inauguration:

    Is it busted, or am I techno-illiterate, or both?

    That’s important information.

    Not sure what the problem is. Will get on it.

    It’s probably not busted and Stephen probably isn’t techno-illiterate (whatever that means).

    The calender is e-mailed every Monday when Congress is in session by signing in here

    That’s awesome.

    I also noticed something else that made me laugh in a cynical way.

    Here’s another reason to love the FCNL-NC:

    “March 31 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory completes the National Ignition Facility. Livermore, CA.

    March Al Franken is declared the winner in the Minnesota Senate race (estimate).”
