Sleazy Slimy GÖP Uberfuhrer Bagged Soliciting Prostitutes in Lancaster, PA

I’d bet that Coder’s mom was Korean, not that it matters here.

Primer for those folks who want to figure out where us Asiatics are from.

For Koreans, it’s in the cheekbones, eyes and shoulders. We tend to have the widest, narrowest and wider among Asians. As for me? Well, I’m an exception to the rule. Not because I’m special or anything, but my cheekbones aren’t that prominent (hence my head looks oval not round.) And I’ve been mistaken for Chinese and/or Japanese even by my fellow Koreans. When in doubt, check the shoulders. If they’re rather broad then odds are good they’re Korean.

@ManchuCandidate: Did not know that about shoulders. The other give-away is that Koreans are usually extremely good-looking. I think of Koreans as being the Limeys of Asia. This douchebag seems to be the exception that proves the rule.

@Benedick:
I’ve heard that before from friends who spent time in Asia (about us being the lookers.) Although I’ve heard that about Cambodians, too.

@ManchuCandidate: What’s up with the Koreans and Korean-Americans being in to born again Christianity (and wack-a-doodle Moony)? Any theories? I’ve always found it interesting that it seems to be much more a Korean thing than any other Asian country or diaspora.

@SanFranLefty:
My take is this:

Koreans have always had a strong shamanistic undercurrent from long ago ages before Jeebus showed up on the shores to show the Korean peoples the errors of their ways. This shaman undercurrent basically said that if you follow “me” faithfully then you will be rewarded with riches and gifts and women (hey, Korean culture was/is extremely paternalistic and women didn’t count back then.) When Jeebus showed up, the whole Protestant “early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise” ethic appealed to the hard working Korean peasant, but it didn’t take root till the 1960s when Uncle Sam made Korea richer thanks to the Vietnam War. Suddenly, it was cool to be an Xtian because they got rich. Throw in a Korean inferiority complex and being the short guy in a white man’s world, many Koreans wanted to out Christian the mostly white Christians.

My dad is still in denial thinking that Koreans aren’t religious fanatics. And I’ve gone to Korean Church, but feared getting zapped by lightning as I’m a rare bird, an atheist of Korean descent (just like dad, but not like mom.)

First question I’m usually asked by a North American Korean
“What church do you belong to?”

When I say, none. I get the feeling they’re making the sign of the cross and trying to ward me off as if I’m Korean Dracula.

Some say we’re the England of Asia. Thanks to the religoids, I sometimes wonder if we’re more the “South” of Asia.

It’s probably why Moonie has a strong foot hold here. Only flaw in his lojik about him being the 2nd Coming of Jeebus? Korea, China, India and Japan weren’t ever mentioned in the Aramaic Shepard’s bible. If the bible is 100% pure and true, we shouldn’t even exist. Consider that the Art of War by Sun Tzu was written even before the bible (4200 BC somewheres) I have some issue with old Moonie.

There are hookers in Lancaster PA? Man, that must be the proverbial bottom of the barrel.

@Dodgerblue: Is it wrong that I picture them in Amish bonnets? Thought so.

@Mistress Cynica: +1

Oh, and it’s not wrong.

@Mistress Cynica:
@SanFranLefty:

MUAHHHH !!!

@baked: And you posted at 4:20? Nice…

@Dodgerblue: Lancaster used to have the most breweries per capita in the east. And there is a fantastic club that gets great tours, I saw Mike Watt and Dinosaur Jr. there on the same bill, months ago.

@Mistress Cynica: *snicker* What’s wrong is those of us who picture them in nothing else but….

Let me just say that these kinds of shenanigans have a remarkable way of not showing up in my local fishwrap, despite the fact that it is the paper “of record” for politics in central Pennsyltucky. Today was about half a pound of bullshit about JoePa’s squad and a list of the school districts “concerned” about Hopey’s Sermon on Socialism next week. Fortunately our SD is not doing anything but the right thing. If they were to, I’d storm in there with Crisco on my steel-toes and a video camera and try mightily to make the same broadcast as that douchenoozle weatherman.
