The good news: a promising new HIV prophylaxis regime. I’m not really up on HIV treatments, but I understand that antiretrovirals are pretty harsh on the body all by themselves. Taking them every day seems a drastic step, but for some it’s potentially a good idea and could help save lives.
The bad news: serious threat of war in Korea. What Fate gives with one hand, she takes with the other.
If I dare, it’s an open thread. Play nice, kids.

North Korea’s military is large, but ill-equipped and poorly trained. I say send a few special forces units in to eliminate Kim and see if his hapless son can manage to maintain any control. I seriously doubt the military on its own initiative would launch an attack and would probably ignore Kim Jong-eun if he ordered an attack. Then we begin negotiating with whichever general or colonel manages to get control and see if we can get a fairly benign dictator out of the situation–benign in not launching shells at the ROK, that is, and being willing to open up economically, if not politically.
I know, I’m too hawkish to be a good libertarian. But if you object, go see DAR’s post on political pigeonholing.Report
For whatever reason, the League’s commentariat seems to abhor an open thread. Go figure.Report
whimpers….no structure…….no structure….how can we know what to complain about or what names to call others in an open threadReport
