Random commentary and senseless acts of blogging.
The first Republican president once said, "While the people retain their virtue and their vigilance, no administration by any extreme of wickedness or folly can seriously injure the government in the short space of four years." If Mr. Lincoln could see what's happened in these last three-and-a-half years, he might hedge a little on that statement.

There's something a bit strange about South Koreans. Sure, they're very big on your ordinary garden variety cluelessness. They seem to be nearly unanimously eager to have Americans out of their country so that there will be no obstacle to Kim Jong Il invading. They figure that's perfectly safe because, after all, he's Korean, so he couldn't possibly do anything that would harm other Koreans, could he? Sure, he keeps about a million people in slave labor camps, and he spends a fortune on building missiles while his people are so hungry they eat bark and the corpses of friends who recently died of starvation. But he's one of us, so he has to be a good guy at heart. That, however, is just routine stupidity and ultimately boring. Sometimes, however, the stupidity is truly unroutine. A fine example, courtesy of Gwielo Diaries:
Some people even misunderstood an enterprise as an organization for social works rather than for seeking profit. Hyundai Motor Company, not long ago, had to suffer a bitter insult from members of a civic group, of which was unknown and irrelevant to Hyundai. The group members flocked in front of the company`s headquarters in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, threatening “Provide us with expenses for visiting the U.S. and demonstrating against it, or we will take a shower of buckets of feces.” |
