Hmmm… there is a difference between Chickenhead and ChickenHead.

Dealing with an imposter is annoying…

…but a stupid imposter is a bit amusing.

The use of lowercase L in place of the I was inspired.

Lest we forget the Reason for the Season:

Yes, we must not forget the noble sacrifice of our Lady and Savior, Kim Jong Suk. If not for her fertile loins, we wouldn’t be in Korea, chasing Juicys and swilling soju.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly replaced Christmas with celebrations honoring his deceased grandmother. While Christians remain a minority in North Korea, Kim has declared Dec. 25 a holiday to pay tribute to Kim Jong Suk, who died in 1949, according to media reports Sunday.

Kim’s grandmother was born on Christmas Eve in 1919. Known as the “Sacred Mother of the Revolution,” she was the wife of former North Korean leader Kim Il Sung and a Communist activist. To honor her birthday, many North Koreans visit her tomb on Dec. 25 each year. ,/blockquote>
The War on Christmas has been declared by an aspiring Nuclear Power. Time to roll out Santa’s Sleigh, but this time, pulled by 9 fully loaded A-10 Thunderbolts.

Ho, Ho, Ho.

Was a White Envelope misplaced?
http://www.wsj.com/articles/qualcomm-fined-more-than-850-million-in-south-korea-for-alleged-antitrust-violations-company-to-fight-decision-1482894283

SEOUL—A South Korean regulator said it would fine Qualcomm Inc. about $853 million for alleged antitrust violations, the highest such penalty handed to an individual company here, as the U.S. chip maker faces global scrutiny over its patent-licensing business.

After a three-year investigation, the Korea Fair Trade Commission said on Wednesday that Qualcomm breached antitrust law by limiting competing chip makers’ access to its patents. The company also forced mobile-phone manufacturers into unfair license agreements by refusing to supply crucial phone chips to those that disagreed with its terms, the regulator said.

Honestly, I’m not familiar with Licensing laws and patent regulations, so I don’t have a solid grasp on who is in the right and who is in the wrong here. I do know that not being able to use Google Maps (due to licensing and protectionism) to navigate around the city and peninsula was a royal pain in the arse, when I could just put in a destination or even drop a pin and let Google figure it out, but had to jump through Korean hoops to use Naver…

Maybe it’s my fault I never learned Korean, but 25 years of having my beloved handle all things Korean has made me lazy.

And yet, I, Barry Obama, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros are still consuming perfectly good air. God wants America to repent.

Up or Out! Well, why not both:
http://nypost.com/2016/12/29/kim-jong-un-has-been-busy-executing-people-since-taking-power/

Landing a plum cabinet post in Kim Jong Un’s North Korean government can be a death sentence, according to a new report.

Out of the 340 people the dictator has ordered executed since he took office in 2011, 140 have been senior officials and top advisers, several media outlets reported Thursday.

It’s the New York Post, so expect their usual bombastic writing style. But the fact is a promotion can be the beginning of the end for North Korean Officials.

Come on! One of you have the ‘nads to trip that fat arse at the top of the steps! Heck, even a weak riser might be enough. Strong enough to support the security team guy when he checks it before Fatty’s arrival, but not enough for 300 lbs of Hennessey, Swiss Cheese and kim-chee. Make it your New Years’ Resolution or something.
