Glaring hypocrisy from the media.  No exploration of Mrs. Bill Clinton's ties to Russia and them ok'ing the sale uranium to a Russian and huge contributor to the Clinton Slush Fund errrr the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative. 

When your only defense of Trump is to go after Clinton, well... The politics of changing the subject - the last resort for those who can not bear the agony of looking their country in the eye. 

Besides the chicken skewers, that's the greatest thing I learned from you, Professor!

I'm sure that's exactly what Bin Laden said, just before the bullet passed through his face.

It’s “not what you would think,” unless you had ever in your life read, thought, or asked about the issue.

I'm wondering what most residents of Seoul think about Trumpy's bluster. 

The DPRK can't hurt the US but it can sure eff up them and their city.

It's like he's on some kind of third-grade field trip.  "You'll never guess what I learned today!!!"

Whenever he says "a lot of people don't know this, but...." is when you know he just learned something.

This.  Just in conventional artillery, Seoul could take on a world of hurt.

Don't know about today's world but in war games of the 1990's, the west didn't stop/turn the southward advance until well beyond Seoul.  I doubt much has changed.  
Genghis Khan of the modern era with the DPRK right out of the gate.
Edit:  In some circles I think the Trump bluster and unpredictability are a plus.  Definitely makes the action/reaction calculus much more challenging, on both sides.

My friends in Seoul say that today the NK government has invited reporters from all countries in for some kind of a show, and that it's possible it will be a missile launch.  Hold on to your hats I guess.

To answer my own question about wondering what Seoul residents might be thinking I hit the Google (I'm slow but I pick things up eventually) and read a few South Korean newspaper websites.

This article says what I would have suspected: http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2017/04/13/2017041300782.html

One can only hope that the last paragraph of that article proves to be accurate:

"Even President Trump is not reckless enough to do that, pundits say."

Nobody knew that __________ could be so complicated.

Or, perhaps, everybody knew.  Except you.

Ha! That is funny right there. I will say though that I believe all these men had affairs with women...

i don't think we want to go nuclear on sex
scandals by party. 

I can just say that I am way more comfortable with Mike Pence behaving appropriately alone with a woman than with a Boy Scout troop. 

Wish I had more time but I have to run in to the bathroom at MSP to hand out a few business cards.

Amazing how ubiquitous that face is, whether it's for getting caught having an affair with your secretary, or for soliciting gay sex in a public restroom.  

The description of Craig's arrest is pretty hilarious:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig_scandal#Arrest

I love the way the officer handled it.  Craig motions his foot towards his under the stall, then puts his hand underneath the stall.  So the officer responds by putting his badge under the stall, and then pointing his finger towards the exit.  LOL!
