Seoul, South Korea: Last week's deadly attack on Yeonpyeong island has escalated military and diplomatic tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and for some in the South Korean capital, Seoul, there is an increasing fear of North Korean retaliation.

Hence, evacuation centres were being prepared in the city on Monday, amidst mounting tensions.

There are 3919 emergency shelters across Seoul - many are housed in subway stations or underground carparks.

According to local officials, evacuation shelters can be easily reached by everyone within five minutes and can accommodate more than 20 million people.

I wanted to post specifically about that point of semantics. Clearly “retaliation” is the wrong word.

The definition of retaliate:
re·tal·i·ate (r-tl-t)
v. re·tal·i·at·ed, re·tal·i·at·ing, re·tal·i·ates
v.intr.
To return like for like, especially evil for evil.

Don't forget appeasing RINOS under appeasing REPUBLICAN administrations, too!

Christopher Hill, (left) sent out on Condi Rice and "W"'s orders, to affix his signature to one of the most ridiculous, unenforceable, if not right DANGEROUS China-brokered phony deals in the history of the Korean Peninsula, the so-called "Six Party Talks" in Beijing, Red China!

We must be brutally, academically honest about this who bipartisan travesty which has been building for 20 years now.

If your Shiner is not already iced, you are unprepared, my friend.

I should have specified *extra* Shiner. I expect a huge turnout for the toast.

Here, I put a pool liner in my truck bed and filled it up. I'll drive over:


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
