Both Sides Get Wet Nope, not a big deal at all. My cold war upbringing is irrelevant and I should just chill out, according to some folks. I've been told this by both sides of the political spectrum actually although I haven't lost any sleep over it, but I'm watching it. Rodent Queen hit it on the head yesterday as we stood outside the newspaper in the muggy heat.

"In any pissing contest, both sides get wet."

And she's right. She's absolutely right. So North Korea is splaying the urine out against everybody. I get that.

A defiant North Korea on Thursday threatened to test-fire more missiles and warned of even stronger action if opponents of the tests put pressure on the country, amid signs of further activity at the reclusive regime's launch sites.

The further show of bravado by Pyongyang came amid intense diplomatic jockeying by the United States and its allies to prod the U.N. Security Council to take stern action against the North's seven missile tests on Wednesday.

The North Korean Foreign Ministry, in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, insisted that the communist state had the right to missile tests and argued the weapons were needed for defense.

It doesn't mean I have to like it. My main concern is how this administration handles this situation, because their track record sucks. And I don't believe them about anything these days. Seeking some faith here, campers.
