Kendra.. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. The name in the brackets in #4 should be Kim Il Sung. I must have Kim Jong Il on the brain.

#4: Great Leader, Kim Il-sung was leader of North Korea during the war, not his son, Dear Leader Kim Jong-il

Just a slight correction on #4. “Dear Leader” Kim Jong Il was not North Korea’s leader during the Korean War. It was his father, “Great Leader” Kim Il Sung.

Umm… here in SOUTH Korea people are really really upset about both Dokdo and the U.S. beef crisis. Like, really really upset. It’s not just the crazy North Koreans.

You should do a similar piece about reading U.S. newspapers

I want to know where to find the lyrics to ‘General Employs the Art of Compressing Space’. Sounds like a rousing little ditty.

Ha… probably neither! That was my mistake. I meant to type in 2003 in the intro and goofed. Thanks for the keen eye…
