So I lie, sue me



I declare. I wanted to have a fresh domain, my main man, said God. I complicated, oops, completed the not so simple, Simplescript, Oops, SimpletonScript  do-das and made my first ever footprint in the Pacific ocean, Oops, that was my good and bad buddy Barack’s doing, on the sands of time.
Quickly brushed my teeth, or whatever you may call dusting off yesterday’s apple pie crumbs from my gums, make it, bare gums with no signs of a tooth, much less, plural of tooth, teeth. Shaved, that is some kind of a joke too. I ain’t got no money to bye a razor, not even them cheap China made knock-outs, sold by tons at Target and many other variotions of Dollar Stores.
Be that as it may, I simply, shoo them off. “Go away, little stubble, who needs you, other than Uncle Sam?”
Uncle Sam has long flowing beard, Just like Adam, Oops, Adam didn’t have no beard, no long and flowing beard, not even the ancient Chinese style wispy beard. Adam, the first male man, what other variety of man do you know? However, God found Adam lacking in some respect. For instance, he didn’t have no shame, not even he found himself, buck naked. Wearing nothing but his wedding band.
Oops, Adam couldn’t have any band. Little quartet kind or the big two dozen French Horn type, Big band. I am not even sure he could hear the word of God. As they say, the (Christian) God created a word. Definitely, NOT the N-Word or for that matter, F-Word. That came later. Much later, when the God created Republican, the first and the foremost mis-creation of his so called Creation Theory, theoretically speaking.
Am I boring you? I hope so.
Yeah, now I remember that I was talking about footprints and thumbprints.
So I shaved, showered, toweled, coffeed, Oops, wrong word, make it caffeinized, suited, booted, banged, hanged, tangled, wrangled, potted, spotted, spitted, quitted, bussed, rushed, trashed, thrashed, mashed, bashed and found myself in my magnificently moderate, library.
Holy Hindu Cow! What Now?
Writer’s cramp. Oops, block. I am frozen, both figuratively and literally. It’s getting cold out there. Beloq zero and sliding fast. Winds at 8–12 kn. Skies are turning from the early morning glow to gloom. Later, the local TV weather guru predicted bunch of snow. Yeah, tell me all about it. Yesterday it was mostly coudy. It rained, cats and dogs. It was fun, though. Them hungry and angry cats were chasing plump and pompous rats, like our new baby-Doc Duvalier, oops, wrong country, make it, Korean King, oops, wrong again, Korean cartoon, Oops, wrong again, it was Kim the father, Jonge-il who was a cartoon, with his five inch toll, puffed-up rug on top of his five feet three inches diminutive body.
Please don’t rush me. I am, as I told you before, in a state of Catatonia, Oops, Cata-Tonic. Make it Cato, as in Cato Institute Tonic for the dumb and dumber.
Now we are cooking. From Adam to Madam, Oops, Mad-Man. Kim Jonge-il, that is.
May lord God, make it a Christian, loving and forgiving God of all other, puny, tiny ungodly Hindu gods and one Muslim god. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord (and pass the gravy).
I know, it is that devil of a cup of black coffee talking. Please, forgive me lord, as I have sinned. From here onward, no coffee. Just tea. Make it Chinese (green) tea, oops, there ain’t no such thing as green tea in Red China. Not for all the tea in China. No sir.
Funny thing. our secret, Oops, Secretary of the (Mental) State, Hillary Rodham Clinton made a visit to the North Korean Embassy, here, in Washington, DC and wrote a short message in the book. Without the customary “C” word. “Condolence. In my words, not hers, she wished the people of North Korea well, under the circumstances, they are, all of them, every single poor, wretched, Dictator loving citizen is mourning, Morning, Nun, Oops, Noon, After Moon, Oops,Noon and Night.
As a matter of fact, the goose stepping military platoons are making it obvious that if they wouldn’t they wouldn’t (live to tell about it to their poor and hungry grandchildren).
I just love Dictatorship. Especially after having gone with George H W and his illustrated, Oops, illustrious son George W Bush’s terrible, tyrannical, mechanical and comical presidencies, Oops, dictatorships.
With that kind of democracy, who needs the Korean kind of Democracy.
Yeah! North Korea has become a shining exapmple of true-blue democracy. Little John, Oops, Jonge-un is being converted to islam, Oops, Christianity, oops, American style insanity, aka democracy.
Holy Hindu Cow! What Now?
Hillary Rodham Clinton becoming an un? Oops, nun?
Merry Christmas. Ho, Ho, Ho and one more Ho for the road to Pyongyang, gang.

This image taken today from North Korean TV footage shows people mourning for Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang.
EnlargeAFP/Getty ImagesThis image taken today from North Korean TV footage shows people mourning for Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang.
While North Koreans in Pyongyang are “in a state of mourning and … paying their respects at landmarks across the city,” the overall mood is “subdued but calm” as people there react toSaturday’s death of leader Kim Jong Il and the likelihood that his son Kim Jong Un is now in charge, according to one of Britain’s diplomats in the capital city.
The Los Angeles Times reports this morning that those comments from Barnaby Jones, first secretary at Britain’s embassy in Pyongyang, are the first such report from a diplomat “with a bird’s-eye view of Pyongyang in the days after the death of Kim Jong Il.”
The Korea Herald adds that Jones, in a telephone conversation with reporters, also said:
“In terms of what we have seen on the streets we have seen groups of schoolchildren going to and from locations where they have been standing in front of monuments or murals of Kim Il-sung or Kim Jong-il, as well as other groups of people. At the biggest monuments or the biggest locations where people can stand those groups get much, much larger.
“In most places across the city I would say that we are not seeing crowds, we are seeing large groups and it is all very orderly.”
His descriptions conflict somewhat with the tone of reports and images being distributed by North Korea’s official news agencies, which have described and shown weeping and anguished people. Whether such reports are in fact true and whether any such displays of emotion are in fact genuine are uncertain, however, in a police state such as North Korea.
Jones also told reporters that Kim Jong Un had been receiving visits from foreign diplomats. The BBC says hat would seem to confirm “that he is indeed now in charge.”
Meanwhile, South Korea’s Yonhap News reports that a group of North Korean defectors in Paju, South Korea, “launched balloons carrying leaflets into the North on Wednesday, criticizing a power succession in the communist country after the death of its leader last week. … Some 50 members of an emergency committee comprising 37 of the country’s human rights groups for North Korean defectors launched 10 balloons carrying millions of anti-North Korean leaflets from Imjingak pavilion just south of the inter-Korean border.”

What a career–Barnaby Jones turns up in a high position in Her Majesty’s Foreign Service!
Kinfolks did say, “Jed, move away from there!”

i hate to be a curmudgeon here, but it seems significant that some of the top rated comments are about spelling mistakes in this article. telling, isn’t it?
npr (and this blog, perhaps, specifically), would do well to discuss something like Confucianism and how it impacts countries like North, South Korea; Japan; China; and much of Asia–top-down culture impacts the daily lives of people in very serious ways–including the loss of a tyrant.

@Anthony. It is not that they are like ‘sheep’ but they have been groomed all of their life to believe that what they have is best for them. Also, they do not know better. I assume that North Korea has maybe only couple of TV channels and those are probably seen only in urban areas. There is no other information but one that is served to them. I believe that actually most of North Koreans love their leader and others whose thought managed to escape North Korean ideology are just afraid. It is known fact that North Korean military is powerful, if not in quality but in quantity, and will crush any upraising quickly. So, any change must come from the top and gradually, otherwise once North Koreans realize that there is better life outthere they will feel angry and betrayed. Bloodshed will be imminent. That is why everyone is tiptoeing around North Korean issues and no major changes will be seen overnight.

…Not to mention the use of the passive tense to strectch an article. Attention to detail includes spelling and grammar. How am I to trust one’s analytic rigor when neither they, nor their editor, notices spelling and grammar errors?
Shameful

It’s a country where most likely your neighbor is watching you to see if you are paying enough respects to the leader. The neighbor needs to do this to eat.

Rebekah, for all we know the BBC has a hat that did indeed confirm Kim Jong Un is in charge. I believe it is known in some circles as a “sorting hat”.

It is amazing that a nation with this many people are led like “Sheep” with no individual thoughts, desires or ambitions in the 21st century. Just like Afghanistan and others the world has passed them by and they have no clue of how much they have missed?
I guess with the new ruler of the country and the military sharing power they will remain in exclusion. God help this world!

Unfortunately, people don’t care about proper spelling, grammar or punctuation anymore. You’ll see this in news stories, online articles, professional communications, business signs, ad infinitum.
It may have something to do with our bottom-line-deadline/quota-oriented work mantra that seems to be *so* beneficial the past two decades as opposed to countries that are still in the black financially. Hm.

I read at least one NPR news story each day. I’m surprised at the misspellings that escape professional journalists. A news article isn’t an email, text, or comment like this. Type, edit, print, edit, then post. Sorry folks.
“The BBC says hat would seem to confirm…”
