Duh de Duh de Duhh DUHH DUHH DUHH
Here is the breaking news from Our Man's Backyard Bunker (in highly apt bullet points):
- The Sorks and the Yanks were busy playing soldiers and the Norks wanted to play too.
- The Sorks said naff off.
- The Norks started lobbing stuff at the Sorks.
- The Sorks are on high alert, ready to retaliate and knock out some Nork missile bases.
- The Yanks have been scrambling jets all day, according to Our Man's Twitter sources living near US military bases here. (If you live anywhere in Japan, you live near US military bases).
- The Japanese PM was woken from his afternoon nap (sort of, if you see TV footage of him addressing the nation, think he was still asleep).
- Japan will set up a committee to look into what to do.
For some historical perspective, go here, from Our Man's Field Agent who is (a couple of clicks?) closer to the DMZ.
Anyway, it's put Our Man in the mood to read his copy of Hidden Moon, an Inspector O whodunit set in North Korea. And then write loads of his novel. And not drink any wine.

good luck with the wine.
Actually, we gave Kan fuck all play. That's what ya get for sleeping on the job. Hed reads:
"Norks shower Sork island with fire shells"
Let's hope the Japan Times has their spell checker on a war footing.
(Sorry, this is my inner copy editor being a prick)
Are you sayin Our Man can't spell immanent? Because if you are, you are right. He also has a blind spot, Penguin, when it comes to bears and bares and also, permanent. Tsk, Tsk. Ima gonna fix that imanent to immanent before any other smart arse flightless sea birds notice.
THEN WHO'S THE PRICK, HUH, HUH????
as soon as I heard there was a war on,I came here for insightful and erudite comment/analysis.I wasn't let down,I am no wiser than five minutes ago.
however,as a member of the world wide public,I am somewhat reassured that the japanese govt is setting up a committee after the fact.if only other govts had such foresight.
