DHS protects America from those infamous scourges of freedom: role-playing games and the traitors who play them.*

In other tales of terrorism, Maziar Bahari reports on how Revolutionary Guards really feel about America: “He hated me and he was jealous of me at the same time because I had been to New Jersey.” While the article is entertaining enough, there are some real prizes in the comments.

The Norks finally pop off a nuke. Japanese PM Shinzo Abe promises to get medieval on their ass. Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive expects that the PRC ain't gonna appreciate being faced by the Kid either, and brings the Photoshop love as well. On the other hand, Defensetech says it's a dud, but on the gripping hand the Reverend Sensing says "not so fast with the snark".

Meanwhile, back on the home front, it's another lazy day at the castle. Doing a little cleanup, hanging out in front of the computer, recharging the Palm, wasting time with bankers, that sort of thing. No plans for tonight, really. I may just hang around and catalog books until it's time to hit the rack.
