The populists on the left and right are both running with this Huey Long nonsense about how their profits are "obscene" and how "speculators" are causing gas to rise to $4/gallon (even though that's what they've wanted for decades.)

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
Well here in the Land of the Morning Clam, Japan dared to publish that the tiny flyspeck islands between Korea and Japan have been 'the subject of an on-going dispute for years'...
...so naturally Korean nationalists had to beat nine LIVE pheasants to death on Japanese flags and then hurl the corpses at the Jap embassy.
The green pheasant is the national bird of Japan. The common pheasant is actually the national bird of Korea.
Not that it mattered much to the hapless avians, but the protestors mistakenly killed their own national bird.
Also, in order to protest the moving of a Korean military base, local idiots pulled apart a live piglet as a protest against the government.
However....at the same time....North Korea just SHOT a south Korean tourist on a beach...and was naturally rewarded with more talks and concessions, thus disproving the 'Lee Myung Bak will actually have balls' theory.
So in conclusion, in Korea the paranoia goes like this:
1. JAPAN
2. Their own government, whoever it happens to be at the time.
3. America
4. China
5. Foreign barbarians in general
6. North Korea....way down in number six despite being the only threat that is actually shoots people, threats to make a 'sea of fire', refers to the government giving it aid as 'nothing more than a gang of criminals', etc. etc.
I think the explanation is
1. Cranial-rectal impaction
2. Tradition
3. It's waaaay safer to hate your friends than your enemies. And sometimes you can get your friends to give you stuff too!!

Huh. My brother's home on leave from his Army station in Korea at the moment. He didn't mention Japan-hatred, just really good bbq, "juicy girls" (whom he stresses he DID NOT employ), and pervasive human trafficking.

Oh God! When I first read it, I thought you said nine live PEASANTS.
