We open with a Letter to the Editor:
You have stolen a fantastic song by the brilliant Warren Zevon and turned it into a confusing political nonsensical rant. Worse, you don’t even acknowledge Zevon or his inspiration H.S.

- Shandong, the next Chinese aircraft carrier, is approaching completion.
- Blast from the Past: Spencer Ackerman was way ahead of the neoliberal-apologist game.
- North Korea sounds irritable.
- Taking a realistic approach to Korean reunification.
- Confess your unpopular opinion: UConn’s 102 game winning streak, while impressive, is not faintly good for NCAA women’s basketball.
