Slouching Toward Bethlehem

A gaunt character walks into my cafe wearing what seems to be a bird’s nest on his otherwise bald head. But no, it’s just his hair, disguised as a crown of thorns. He’s wearing a baggy white ‘Obama ’08’ t-shirt and baggy white pants, tucked into riding boots. If that’s a typical Obama supporter, than it’s gonna be McCain in a landslide.

A great article from the AP about a South Korean woman who was executed for collaborating with North Koreans by way of torture and phony evidence. Her American lover, and father of her child, stayed silent through the whole process.

The article also points out that 75% of South Koreans supported communism before the U.S. invasion. The worst enemy of real communists, alas, wasn't the U.S. but Stalin and Mao.
