A good weekend for me.

Well, it seems that the Uri party Leader ship bowed out of the lime light after a crushing defeat in some local elections. Buahahaha. Seriously, did anyone expect any different? The Uri party was NEVER meant to lead and the people of the ROK have been feeling it's ill effects. I must say, I giggled like a school girl when I saw this news on the stands. Heck, I even stooped so low as to buy a Korean Herald edition just to gloat.

Also in the news was a couple of tid-bits on the DPRK. man, I thought that Bush was having a hard week (ok, he is). These guys from the North sound stressed.

First there were some shots fired at the South from the North (quite under-reported)

SEOUL, Oct. 28 (Yonhap) -- A shot fired from North Korea fell near a South Korean guard post inside the demilitarized zone late Friday, but there were no casualties, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.South Korean soldiers immediately returned several rounds of fire toward the North but received no response, the JCS said in a statement.

Then, a North korean diplomat decided he'd " curse at some guy for bad mouthing his dear leader.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean activist protesting against North Korea said he was called a "son of a -----" after he whispered to a North Korean diplomat that his leader Kim Jong-il must be overthrown.

And now it has been reported that Kim Jong-il is having troubles removing all the mustard stains he got on his nose from kissing Chinese president Hu Jintao's Butt.
