Just forgot about it when writing this, but it was indeed a concession, I have to admit. TheStig [7] - OK, now I'm going to have to look up "Arsenical" and "Plutoniumistic." Never heard either one before, I gotta admit! :-) Learn something new every day... (I have to admit I learned the word "peripatetic" from Calvin and Hobbes...) -CW C. R. Stucki [4] -

He's stopped testing for two reasons: his test sites are in ruin and the rockets work. In addition, he planned on tearing down his main test site because it is rubble and totally useless. Also, Bolton's recent comments that we might have to use the Libya option on NK, sent a very strong message to Kim...regime change. I wish everyone would stop saying Kim has made concessions.

Not being in his income bracket, I tend toward far less expensive terminology. I'd go with something in the ten-cent bracket, perhaps "Shit-for-brains".
