Poetry

I have to deal with various North Korean hijinks at work just about every day. Today there was a brief panic among the Japanese Press Corp. when a Japanese news wire mis-quoted a State Department official, reporting that North Korea is "pretty close" to being removed from the list of state sponsors of terror. This is a big deal in my office (for reasons I won't bother you with here), so I had to call this person, and email this person, and, whoops, Jiji fucked it up, he actually didn't say that, call off the attack. It doesn't really matter. What matters is the wonderful email I got from the correspondent I work with:

Jiji canceled the report which we talked about now.
Transcript must be accurate.
Dpuble check is very important.
It's rock on another mountain.
