“Wonderful: Military not sure yet who fired ‘big missile’ off California coast,” Allahpundit writes, linking to a CBS article that’s getting blown out (figuratively) by a Drudge-lanche, and offering three possibilities as to the cause. Plus this video:
Update: “Pentagon says it’s baffled, but scientists suggest it’s just a jetliner with spectacular contrail.”












Rather coincidental and virtually certain to be wholly unrelated, I was driving westbound on El Toro Road in Lake Forest last night just before 9:30 P.M., heading toward the 5 Freeway and saw what I thought was a medium sized meteor moving from Northeast to Southwest pass overhead in front of me…appeared to be over the Pacific.

2. Non-career enhancing move / Job slots open / Obama “discovers” $20 billion savings in Navy budget.
And batting cleanup.
3. Vapid Vapor Tail Publicity Stunt Rocks SoCal #reuseableheadlines
Personally, I Blame Gary Seven
Round up all the cats in Los Angeles and send an interrogation team over to Terri Garr’s house immediately.
Hey, you can’t blame me. This is the most critical time in Earth’s history.
Also….Terri’s not as active as she used to be with the organization. But again,….don’t blame me either.
