A Few Shotgun Posts.
Right now, I am suffering from way too much to do, a way overbooked schedule, and an unhealthy dose of apathy. Hopefully, things will be settled by Monday. In the meantime, there are a few things that have been on my mind. I will add them as time allows.
Kim Jong Il Invents Hamburgers
Apparently, at some point in the year 2,000, Kim Jong Il, the Dear Leader, invented a product called “gogigyeopbbang” or “double bread with meat.” In the west, they are called “hamburgers.”
Kim reportedly said, “I’ve made up my mind to feed quality bread and french fries to university students, professors and researchers even if we are in (economic) hardship.” Despite this wonderful invention, don’t expect the Kim Jong Il to invest Coke anytime soon… Cola is apparently still considered the “cesspool water of American capitalism.”
South Korean Military Should Not Be Hostile To Enemies
In a speach at the military academy South Korea’s National Security Council Secretary Gen. Yi Chong-Sok recently told South Korean military officers “It will make a stronger military when soldiers serve along the barbed-wire fences [in the Demilitarized Zone] with enhanced sense of citizenship and pride and affection for the country, rather than with hostile feelings toward enemy forces, will it not?”
Oddly enough, he was challeneged by a general who asked, “In that case, how can we educate our men on their perspectives toward the enemy in the reality where the North and South are confronting each other?”
Yi then sought to clarify his statement: “I only mentioned a general idea. I did not say it with North Korea in mind.”
uhhhh.. ok….what enemy other than North Korea is there along the DMZ that the South Korean can demonstrate an enhanced sense of citizenship, pride, and affection toward? Perhaps we can ask some prominent West-European countries how wonderful and successful a military strategy of citizenship, pride, and affection towards their “enemies”, the Nazi war machine, turned out to be.
This statement will won’t dispell people’s ideas that Pres. Roh is pro-Nork.
The Blog Block Day 15
A deep and heartfelt thanks goes out to Jae of My Resonating Life for her tip off on a great proxy service that allows full, free, clear, and allegedly untraceable access to websites. Thanks to Jae, the MIC’s block of websites has been rendered completely useless and meaningless to me. I am now in a better mood.
