One of the best thing about the wedding was the fact all but one of my nieces and nephews came to Korea to be at the wedding. It was awesome! My youngest niece (by one week) was the star of the show for a lot of the trip: her big blue eyes hypnotized the ajummas to give her free stuff, ... [Link]

Dear Korean,Here is a simple question. Why are Korean dramas so addicting?K-drama FanDear K-drama Fan,Honestly, the Korean does not know. He absolutely LOATHES Korean dramas. Except for a few notable exceptions, the writings are terrible, the lines are unnatural, acting is awkward, everything is about hysterical yelling and the storylines defy belief. The Korean watched exactly three Korean drama series ... [Link]

( Source: L-C-R. Reproduced with permission ) Like photographer L-C-R says, this 2008 Gundam advertisement is a prime example of a woman being portrayed as a child and/or sex object, of which she saw entirely too much of while she was in Korea. You may be very surprised then, when you learn whom it was actually aimed at. But first, ... [Link]

A Question: If a person is for US involvement in Afghanistan, perhaps with the military playing a role, does that make the person a War Hawk? I think the answer is a qualified no, not necessarily. I’ve been reading Josh Mull as usual. I agree with a trend he mentioned in a recent post – opposition to the “War in ... [Link]

"Washington has done the right thing in accepting Iran's overtures for nuclear swap talks without preconditions as they give Barack Obama a ladder to climb down from his high horse," writes M.K.

This week is all about hiring, firing, a wedding—oh, and stripping. The most overblown Wedding of the Year/Century is finally upon us, and Chelsea Clinton is going to say “I do” to longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky this weekend in the formerly sleepy hamlet of Rhinebeck, New York. In a very calculated, Clinton-esque way, details are shrouded in secrecy. One of ... [Link]

It sounds good, but the problem is that there would be nothing but Republicans. Oh well, at least there would be plenty of turkeys! Ha, ha.
Go turkeys!! Much better than playing CHICKEN by just acting like he voted always in the Senate….PRESENT! Obamao can’t take a reasomed stance omn anything,,,exceot boosting his own narcissism,
What’s up with this Obama’s a narcissist meme? I look it up online and there’s just an article by a fake psychiatrist behind it, and then empty speculation by the types of people who also call Obama “unpatriotic” and the rest of the empty groundless smears.
Articles like this, um, Republican turkey:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/09/is_obama_a_narcissist.html
After those wise words the author practically calls Obama “evil” (and earlier managed to allude to a Hitler comparison). No political issues or topics are ever mentioned.
How come certain flocks of Republican turkeys love to serve up this kind of baloney?
Here’s some more despicable and unfounded character assassination:

But I don’t understand at all. How is Obama a narcissist?
Messed up the tags *again*. Here’s the quote from the article
“Obama, I think, created another reality by blaming white America for his family’s faults. It’s a pattern he’s continued his whole life; his associates are also allergic to personal accountability.

Damn — excuse the continuing technical difficulties… Might it be possible to have a few minutes to edit a comment after posting it, for the clumsy and absent-minded among us like me? Wordpress supports that, yes?
Geez. All I wanted to do was invite folks to dinner.
I guess I should point out that you do not have to be a registered Republican (or even a US citizen) to come, although those who are averse to Republicans would not have a good time.
In defense of Obama on the narcissism charge, I don’t think anybody wakes up one morning and says “yep, I should be the president of the United States of America” without being at least a little narcissistic.
“In defense of Obama on the narcissism charge, I don’t think anybody wakes up one morning and says “yep, I should be the president of the United States of America” without being at least a little narcissistic.”
Nor does anycratican get to be leader of the wealth generating world without being noticed early in their careers for their pro-wealth decision making, and thus being groomed and presented as the ultimate choice for us to eagerly lap up, or castigate, as our limited ADD addled intelligence allows.
Well, even Republicans should have a nice Thanksgiving, I’ll concede, so hope it goes well.
Its a trap. When a sizeable amount of Koreans enter into the event they will imediately be ambushed by Americans in Tshirts showing the offshore coordinates between the gulf of Maine (U.S) and the Bay of Fundy (Canada) and be asked “Do you know North Rock? ” Referring to the dispute between the two countries over who lays claim to it.
Acropolis, thanks for the information on North Rock. I’ll be sure to raise the issue whenever I’m asked about Dokdo.
Which will be rather seldom, I suppose, for I’ve never actually been approached about Dokdo in my over 10 years in Korea . . . odd, since Koreans are supposedly obsessed with the issue.

Jeffery You have also then never been told about the “unique” four seasonons in Korea over the past ten years. Not speaking about the hotel by the way. Good for you man.
Seasons I mean.
“In defense of Obama on the narcissism charge, I don’t think anybody wakes up one morning and says “yep, I should be the president of the United States of America” without being at least a little narcissistic.”
Good point, though I find it reeeally hard to imagine that Richard Nixon found a lot in his reflection to fawn over.
