Lee looks like a perv. I bet he wears women’s undies.

That might explain why the Chosun Ilbo saw fit to run this article rationalizing cross-dressing. Otherwise it would be right out of the blue, and out of place as well given the paper’s business-news focus.

I any case, think you need to read up on the Donghak Revolution.

If you want to say so, you must conclude by that logic, that Japan is a communist nation.

Well, it obviously is not.

The fool I was referring to was actually a certain protein eating, muscle builder, whose name starts with S.

with all due respect,

I blame Japan.

With utmost sincerity, wjk.

I’m not kidding, either. Think about it.

Who was the fool who said Koreans are naturally communists?

I am the fool to whom you refer.

You’re full of crap to deny that statement. Regardless of this election result, Koreans have an enormous natural appetite for a centrally-planned economy, a hyperactive all-powerful State, denial of market forces, and for subordination of law to ideology. Plus, in case you hadn’t noticed, Koreans enjoy a certain dose of political and social authoritarianism and hostility to personal liberties like free speech. That may not be small-c communism, but those signal traits surely smack of big-C Communism to me.

Lee looks like a perv. I bet he wears women’s undies.

Ah, but now he’s the spanking brand new president of Korea, who looks like a perv. The perspective has changed.

First of all, Lee Myung Bak. I have never known of a Presidential candidate in SK politics history, where his own party wanted so badly to bury him to the grave. He was born in Japan, he was a con-man, his face does not fit the gwan-sang of a President, but that of a Nae-shi, his canal project is horse crap, he’s not Park Jung Hee-esque enough, etc. Lee overcame all of this. Mostly thanks to Seoul and its satelite cities who make rational judgements historically on who should be President, and not based on blind regionalism, like Kyong Sang and Jeolla.

From what I could gather from McDonald’s at 5am in Koreatown or Korean church, mini Minoru Okamotos of old age simply wanted Lee Myung Bak to win, so that Kim Dae Jung and his sons would face jail time while Kim Dae Jung was alive.

From what I could gather from people at the same locations, but in their 40’s and 50’s, people were more like Seoulites. They simply wanted to avoid communism-esque liberalism, not very much different from UAW, Detroit Motown labor unions, granting over generous, unsustainable pensions, healthcare plans, etc. Low taxes, more jobs, made sense. After tasting high taxes, more social benefits, anti-Americanism, etc. Who was the fool who said Koreans are naturally communists? Well some for sure have confessed here that they are heirs of those who were part of the United States UAW. UAW is the American version of Lenin style communism. I’ll let you chew on that. Koreans learned quickly. Liberalism, communism is unsustainable. Anything unsustainable in all disciplines should be avoided. Koreans clearly displayed what they wanted.

Jeolla. They showed that they wanted to protect Kim Dae Jung, no matter what. Kyong Book. They showed that they wanted to punish Kim Dae Jung, no matter what.

Lee In Jae. Why is he so hated? I don’t understand. You only live once. He lived by his principles. He is simply hated because he made it MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE for Kim Dae Jung to be President for 5 years. He has a solid political principle, a resolve, and good governing experience in Kyong Gi. He is abandoned by Jeolla, because he’s not electable. He is abandoned by Kyong Sang, because they hate Kim Dae Jung.

Lee Hwae Chang. He was counting on BBK to make him king. Under any circumstances, he should have never been President.

Chung Dong Yong. Even more so, he should have never been President. Korea would have been ruined if he became President. His role in life is to become the head of the Korean version of the ACLU. I think you must agree that this is the sort of work he’s actually fit for.

Chosun.co.kr gives LMB 48.7%, CDY 26.1%, LHC 15.1%, MKH 5.8%, KYG 3.0%, and others 1.3%. This gives our competitors the following average percentage deviations from the true results: Andy 25%; Sanshinseon 26%; iwshim 27% and globalvillage 35%.

Everyone’s results suffered from overestimating the support for “others”. If we ignore that category, and calculate only the predictions for the top 5 candidates, we get Andy 18%; SSS 20%; iwshim 21% and gvi 24%. Andy therefore wins bragging rights.

Maple syrup and snow banks await me. Sperwer, congratulations on the new gig; pawi, keep on rocking; colontos, you’re a whole bunch of fun; neff, I always enjoy your histories; Sonagi, in my head I picture you as pretty hot; Marmot, thanks for running a great blog. Merry Christmas to all.

Canal…what canal? They’re gonna fight over how to build this crap for the next five years and get nothing done. Taking bets NOW.
