Shot In The Dark: Musta Got It From Jane

August 15, 2005

Musta Got It From Jane

"Robert Edward Turner, chairman of the Turner Foundation INC. of the United States, and his party ... arrived here," said the Korean Central News Agency, monitored here.

South Korean officials said Turner was visiting the Stalinist state to discuss a project to turn the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas into a nature reserve.

Read it again.

While North Korea butchers its own citizens in concentration camps that, in scale, rival the Gulag, and starves them in a ghastly, intentional famine (while the leadership lives a lifestyle that Caligula or, perhaps, Turner himself might envy), Turner wants to talk about planting trees between the Stalinist North and the modestly Democratic South?

He will visit an international environmental forum on the project here early next week, they said.

Suppose Turner's worried about toxic emissions?

I'm ashamed to share a nation with Ted Turner.

I'm not sure which tags to apply to the social bookmark for your post at del.icio.us. I have HYPOCRISY and MORAL RELATIVISM available.

E-Blo,

And in response, I'll have to find some tags for your link at cl.uele.ss; I'm going with:

HOPELESSLY IRRELEVANT
GO AHEAD, RETROACTIVELY CUDDLE UP TO KHOMEINI
GROUND BELOW THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL

I'll keep looking.

The only thing you'll find is a big fat NXDOMAIN; there's no TLD with a suffix of ss.

TLDs, WMDs, clues, someone who shares your appreciation for HANOI HILTON... Good luck finding them.

E-blo,

You're the one flogging the old "US SUPPORTED HUSSEIN" saw. Nonexistent domains are the least of your problems, and clues are the last thing you oughtta be lecturing anyone about.

I'd rather flog a saw than milk a canard.

What about *this* big media magnate's meeting with North Korea?

Same shame, or different game?

The technology for film restoration has come a long way since Ted tried to colorize CITIZEN KANE. Perhaps today his technicians can digitally remove the execrable cliches in HANOI HILTON.
