a very funny post"In what is either the beginning of the end of the Hermit Kingdom, or maybe the end of the beginning, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (that's North Korea to us; Norks to the intelligence community) has joined Twitter. . . .My advice to Kim is, stick with what you know: you're the Hermit Kingdom. You can't be the last insane despot on earth and be Tweeting."

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
