Not Different, Just Better

That’s right folks, I’m back. Just like a herpes infection, every time you think you’ve got me beat I come right back-I was hiding in your nerve endings the whole time!

A lot’s happened since we last checked in-but it all pales in comparison to the stupendous return of this blog. Jumping right into things, I’m still rather irritated over the buzz-a-buzz regarding North Korea lately. Every time they open trade with China there’s a massive conflagration of speculation and fear. I have no idea why this is the case. You’ll note that pictured here is the same country we’re so worried about. We’re concerned that a country that can’t even light itself at night is trying to feed its own people through trade. Do we have a right to be concerned regrading North Korean nuclear power and aggression? Yes. But we should be MORE worried about the deaths of millions of their own civilians in a nuclear accident that will startle no one, given the shining track record of communist nuclear power. On that note, there’s probably more concern to be had regarding the hundreds of lost Soviet nuclear warheads that are now safely in the hands of dozens of bickering, unstable subfactions of the former USSR. Seriously, can someone remind me again why that ISN’T still a major issue in the media?

 Speaking of disappointments by the global market, somebody else’s recent return was a remarkable disappointment. I’m looking at you, Duke. Proof that, like supermarket cheese, a mass market video game does NOT become better by sitting for 14 years. 

In conclusion, something about global warming to get me slipped into a lot of tumblr feeds.
