Daily Kor for March 12, 2010

The war games continue, but with an interesting twist: the experts who would be responsible for plucking out North Korea's nukes and other weapons of mass destruction have joined the exercise. Pyongyang will declare that this is a sign Washington and Seoul are preparing an invasion, but what it really means is that someone in the allied capitals doesn't think the DPRK regime will last much longer.

  2. Would it have been better had she won silver or gold?

    This is all in good fun, and I'm actually of course a big fan of Ms Kim. I'd like to think that if she saw this, she'd have a good laugh.

    Of course, I know you are just channelling rabid netizen super fan, for fun, but I just thought I'd point out my actual devotion for her nonetheless.

    In the cut-throat world of women's post-Olympic figure-skater flatulence contests, that's probably why she only got the bronze.
