So... North Korea shells South Korea

Dude...what?

This is certainly an interesting turn of events. The internal politics of North Koreans have never been too clear... but this reaction to a military exercise is a bit excessive even for the excitable leadership of North Korea. This might mean that the Dear Leader must have some serious worries about his place in power or the transfer of power to his son. It might be a move toward appeasing the hardliners in the North Korean military.

Anyway, here's a link to the story.
