I like to be funny and informative at the same time like Gawker, Wonkette and Defamer, but I am still adjusting to what the readers of The Marmot’s Hole expect.

Give me time.

No offense, Shelton, but the cheesiness factor doesn’t exactly match the Marmot brand (that’s not to say I haven’t enjoyed some Ahssa posts every now and then).

That’s a good question.

I guess I stay because I love Korea and I’ve been long enough in the newspaper business that even though I believe it’s possible that Something Bad might happen, I’d actually like to see what kind of stories there would be to write here if that were to happen.

Newspaper people often go towards danger, not away from it, because they are naturally curious people.

That’s the ideal, at least, in my mind.

So do I really think the 6.25 War might start up again this summer? I dunno, I just don’t like how people are so quick to dismiss the idea that just because such a war would make no sense, doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

I mean, the 6.25 War could have been settled in 1951, but the two sides didn’t feel like it.

So millions of people died for pretty much no reason.

I share your concern, nukes are scary as hell, especially in the hands of the North.
