We have come to a close of the spring protest season but this may have the potential to cause a post-season flair up (Yonhap):
Two conservative groups Wednesday removed a memorial altar for the late President Roh Moo-hyun set up by his supporters in the heart of Seoul, saying that the police have neglected their duty by leaving the “illegal” facility sitting there for over a month.
The two groups bum rushed the alter early in the morning. I saw the altar a couple of weeks ago and it was lightly manned in the middle of the day so I imagine that there were probably only a couple of people holding the fort there at the time.
It is nice to know that lawlessness knows no ideological bounds.

When you write “It is nice to know that lawlessness knows no ideological bounds.” I’m not sure whom you mean. Are you commenting on those who built the illegal shrine to man who used his public office for personal gain? Or do you mean those who dismantled it? (Please don’t jump down my throat – I’m not attacking you, just asking for clarification.) Thanks.
I hope these guys took down the crap outside Deoksugung–that was a major eyesore in the middle of a tourism zone. And it’s [cough] altar [/cough].
#1,
Don’t worry, I won’t jump down your throat. I meant that the extrajudicial building of the altar was countered by an extrajudicial tearing down of the altar. In short, I was writing about both sides……. putz.

I’ll fix it.
Andy, you ripped into Hamel when he commented on your piece about Chris Hill. I just didn’t want you to do the same to me.
Instead, you call me a penis. Nice.
Andy,
Hopefully this’ll make a bigger story than the two paragraphs Yonhap gave it. I was actually in the area (researching for an unrelated story), and will be blogging my two cents worth with pictures by the end of the night

He may have meant “putz” as a compliment. Try to remember that Andy is from the South, after all, and may be prone to the misuse of Yiddish.
Once again, all things have led back to penis.
Well, if the condom fits…
Personally, I’ve seldom seen someone play dumb so convincingly.
Thank god, since you’re a penis.
And away we Roh….
That didn’t take long, and WJK isn’t even here yet to add his unique perspective.
I’ve heard that all roads generally do. Except of course the dark and dank tunnel to Lesbos.
Robert Koehler: He may have meant “putz” as a compliment. Try to remember that Andy is from the South, after all…
Aha, so that explains it. And here I thought he was just mentally challenged. Not that I disregard Southerners; in fact, I suffer them gladly. And seeing one say putz is, well, much like the spectacle of a Korean trying to wrap his lips around the English toungue, which makes this thread seem even more gay than it started out to be. Which is quite a mouthful.
I’ll say this much for Andy Jackson: while the rest of the world is all going to the dogs, he’s going to penises.
Adams-awry,
Actually, was going for the “idiot” meaning of the word and I was joking, BTW. Sorry if it didn’t come off that way. I am often too dry for my own good. The Hill piece comments were just a bit of semi-friendly give-and-take.
Mizar5,
Did you really need to take four comments to say that? I don’t see how you have the time for all those comments considering how busy you are with your 108 daily prostrations to the Obama bobblehead you keep on you vanity.
Good one, Andy. If I didn’t have a pseudo self to defend, I’d actually congratulate you on your ability to wrestle with a sock.
Is “wrestle with a sock” a euphemism? Mr. Marmot also recently said he was going to “self-flagellate.” And everybody keeps talking about penises . . . this is a blog about Korea, right? I’m gonna be really embarrassed if I’ve been commenting all this time without knowing that everything we’ve talking about is a Freudian metaphor.
Obama bobblehead?
