When all else fails........

you turn to TiK madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So, as the conservative president (LMB) watches his landslide victory in both the presidential and National Assembly elections dissolve into a near coup d'etat (by High School Students no less) he seems to have turned to the old standby from the liberal days, BLAME JAPAN!

What better way to get the stupid masses off your back over misjudgements on US beef, FTA's, USFK policy, and a crazy Jesus-told-me-to-do-it canal plan then by lighting them up with Dokdo! What is Dokdo? Two crappy islets (yes islets, not even islands) that both Korea and Japan claim as their own. In this crazy Asian grudgematch, Korea holds all the cards since their military forces occupy the islets and there is no way (short of a war) that they would give them up.

So why even bring up Dokdo? Well the Japanese conservative nuts bring it up in Japan and then oppertunitistic leaders in Korea use it to rally the masses against the evil "Japs". But does the government really care about what some silly people say about the islets?

No, of course not. But now all the "Korean thinkers" have stopped worrying about the failing economy, the US Beef deal, the dead S.Korean tourist, the fact that LMB has broken everyone, EVERYONE, of his election promises in under 200 days in office.

Ahhhhhhhh smell that, its rampent, xenophobic nationalism mixed with piss-poor personal judgement. That's TiK!
