[...] So what causes this? Well the author of the column, “Raimund Royer…Medical Director of the International Clinic at the Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine”, ventures into Dram_man’s Ass-hat territory with his explanations. Here is his first attempt in the piece: Most commonly, scoliosis is caused by idiopathic adolescent functional spinal curvature. “Idiopathic” means that there is no known cause. [...]

[...] Due the success of my last Ass-hat award post, I figure it was time for another when I saw this. Now I know the original Ass-hats were given due to writing by the same person. These were not all done by the same writer, but the line is such a big whopper it’s ass-hat worthy. [...]

Yes, I do believe Kim deserves an Ass-hat award and then some. Didn’t Lone Star take over a bankrupt bank and turn it around very nicely? And according to the number of changes to management and other practices outlined in KFB’s annual reports over several years, I would say they made plenty of beneficial changes. They brought the bank into the 21st Century and made it capable of competing in a highly competitive market. I believe the executive management of KFB was highly capable and effective.

Which one is it Ms. Fifield? Are the South Koreans worrying about the North or not? I would send you an Ass-hat, but…well I was going to write a few sexist comments but thought better.

You know, dramm-man, not that I’m trying to hinder you from speaking your mind, but I do on occassion run into Ms. Fifield…

“Who will buy Huyndai cars? Who?”

I’ve had a Hyundai Accent for 11.5 years now, and it’s a solid, excellent car, never failed me once — though I often drive on steep narrow mountain-roads really only suitable for a 4WD jeep — my Accent always gets me up to the little temple, and then back down…

sort of reminds me of Steven Spielberg’s movie, Empire of the Sun.

US Koreans want to ban this Japanese American’s book from being required reading for school children.

This Japanese female child grew up in Northern Korea during World War II. Then, I suppose she became a US citizen, taking the name Watkins.

So far, it has a perfect 5 star rating on Amazon.com.

I think this is suitable material to reach at least 50 comments or so. More, I expect.

Somebody, any of the authors, should take it up, if interested.

“Who will buy Huyndai cars? Who?”

I own 3 Korean cars. Two Hyundais and a Daewoo.

Koreans need to be pessimistic, a lot more pessimistic.

Korea has followed the Japanese model of economic prosperity for last 50 years. And, I believe Korea has peaked.

Japan peaked around 1985 and it is going down ever since. Real estate prices halfed. No jobs. No exports due to ridiculously high currency exchange and food is so darn expensive.

The same things are happening in Korea with the exception of real estate price. Many economists believe this bubble will burst in the middle of 2007 and bring down whole Korean economy.

What happened in Japan will happen in Korea. Just next year. 2007 will be the worst year for Koreans.

Hyundai cars are as expensive as Toyotas. Who will buy Huyndai cars? Who?
