...happy to tell us about the morally dubious purpose for which Pacific Blue was built -? that is, to simulate nuclear explosions and keep America?s stockpile of nukes in tip-top working order. No matter that struggling third-world superpowers like India want such virtual atom blasts included in the international test-ban treaty. The veep is more interested in the computer?s other potential uses -? like predicting climate change. So how about a Gore-Pacific Blue ticket...
...first they seem to be sock puppets who sound stoned. But soon they're your friends. Sifl and Olly sing songs, argue and interview the likes of an orgasm, a nine-volt battery, the Grim Reaper and an atom in one of Elvis' combs.

Evidence from multiple sources has persuaded them that leader KIM JONG IL is pushing the construction of a new reactor--underground to confound U.S. spy satellites--and trying to design usable atom bombs, possibly including missile warheads. Other analysts disagree; some Clinton Administration officials think hard-liners are leaking these reports to choke off congressional support for oil shipments to North Korea, which the U.S. pledged to fund in 1994 as part of a deal that shut down Pyongyang's known nuclear program.
