#1 The South Korean press is also reporting increased activity at the Yongbyon nuclear facility (actually, they were citing a NYT report). I can only hope that Pyongyang is not serious about selling nuclear material, or else we could have a potentially ugly situation on our hands. On the bright side, I live way outside of any potential blast radius, and I never really liked Seoul all that much to begin with.

PS: Much thanks to whoever posted my report from a couple of days ago here at Rantburg. Not only was I personally honored, but my hit counter really appreciated it.

#4 Fred - Your last comment, and the reply you gave to Dar yesterday, made me wonder, "do you know what you have here?" I mean, isn't 20k hits/day worth something? (no, I don't have a product, wish I did) This has gotta be expensive. But there is no other place like this. You should ramping UP, not thinking about less hits.

-The format is ingenious - playing off the pundits, saves having to pay 'em
-It is user-friendly - even trogs like me can add 2 cents (all right - one cent! sheesh!)
-You got the proper doctrine - conservatism IS the wave - heck, we're RIGHT
-You're funny - online, only Ott is funnier
-Your regulars are as sharp as Fray's - plus they're RIGHT (read: correct)
-People come back - there's more truth on these pages than in most churches I've been in

This has got to equal = Bank!

Blogs are possibly the last bastion of true journalism. And you are on the bleeding edge. (as seen on Lehrer Newshour, fer cryin out loud)
What you have rivals Slate for moxie and far outshines them in truth. (their agenda is a dead horse - your's can carry YOU) Slate just went into the black. There has gotta be corporations salivating to have a stab at 20k hits. And no one here is gonna mind a few ads. Place a few tastefuls, go down to Geeks-R-Us and get a master (it's a buyer's market) and you do your comment thing.

I don't know what you do for a living - but unless you're minister of the gospel (a real, called one) I doubt whether you're doing anything as important as this. THIS is impact.
Do you know what's in your hands?
