Thanks for the compliments…

Andy-
As for the fine not being all that light…considering that it was a prince that he assaulted and given the interest by the State Department and the American government, I think he came off pretty lightly.

The prince was a favorite of the American press and they often went to him for quotes…even about stuff that he had little knowledge of.

I think my favorite member of the Korean royal family in the United States was an alleged relative of Queen Min who was caught breaking and entering into a woman’s hotel room. He fled but was pursued by the sheriff and was eventually apprehended in California.

30 days in jail and a $493 (adjusted for inflation) fine is not light for a simple assault. I know, having picked up a relative from the county jail where he was doing time for just such a crime.

This must be where the term ‘whang-ja-byung’ comes from.

“Above float”—what does that even mean? Disregard my last comment. (In the absence of controversy, I can always argue with myself to keep it interesting.)

Right now, Mr. Neff’s posts are the only thing keeping this entire blog above float.
