Dr. Steinberg and Dr. Kincheloe visited in Korea last Saturday. They will stay here for 4 weeks, giving 12 lectures (each three and half hours) on “Media Literacy.” Their lectures? Hmmm… The first day of her lecture. It was great except for the man’s lies that he used to tell all the time. (He really really really likes to say that “… STRONGLY RECOMMENDED …” He even strongly recommended a professor, who said to students “Fuck You.”) For whom does he do that? Definetely not for students but for himself. Last summer he almost threatened me to take the summer course, telling that it’s going to be required next year and strongly recommended. But “The Quantitative Research” was the terrible course and it caused me to miss much more important course, The Qualitative Research. The instructor, his friend, took money from me without teaching enough both in quality and in quantity. The man doesn’t deserve to teach “CRITICAL PEDAGOGY.” Damn it! He is the man who knows all about the rules of game, business, such as how to sell, whom to sell, and what to sell. O.K. I’ll stop condemning the man any more.

The Second day of her lecture. It went downhill. I spent all the time at the shopping mall with my classmates. I don’t think it was good enough because we could do it after class or on weekends to save her time and our precious time. Students already paid a lot of money for Mr. and Mrs. Kincheloe. They didn’t pay their dollars, which they painfully earned from capitalitic labor, for the Kincheloe’s trip to Disneyland in Tokyo. They must take only two and half hours’ worth of paycheck and the rest of them must be given back to students. It is unfair to have all of them without working full-time. They must not take a trip to Japan for their wedding anniversary (and their research which was their excuse), without teaching for three days. They can go there after finishing lectures in Korea. Why now in the middle of the course? I am also pretty sure that they will not make up for missing lectures. They just reminds me of imperialistically privileged upper middle class white people, whom finally succeeded to ascend from hillbilly and whom Korean must be servile to. Whatever and however they make an argument on races, classes, ideoogy or whatever, it just sounds bullshit. Dr. Kincheloe is just a normal southerner who drinks Coke, while attacking McDonald’s.

However I really respect their theories on hegemony and Bricolage, multilogicality. I am really impressed by their assertions about the America’s Imperialism which Koreans including me easily don’t realize. I certainly believe that they will provide and encourage me with the critical consciousness in their upcoming lectures. But I want to say to two doctors, “Please please please please please, just act on what you say, even though there are many bootlickers, especially including the man and some of his dumber groupies, around you in here Korea.”

On the day President No was released from his unlocked domicile, he was so puffed up with the overruling of impeachment. He even compared his unworthy comeback to the resurrection of the Christ. It was the most absurd analogy he has ever forced. But it is not surprising, looking back his ridiculous speeches.

I remember his speech that he hoped to be a president like Lincoln, who was a poor, uneducated lawyer but the most loved American President. (I certainly believe that his greatness is a fake. I don’t trust it in two reasons - (1) he was a politician and (2) he was an American. Aren’t they enough?) I don’t know what aspects of Lincoln he respects. Anyway I have failed to find anything of Lincoln’s fabricated virtues from No’s behaviors. His words and deeds are exactly same as those of Bush, an obvious punk. He should have remained poor and uneducated.

I expected him to make unfair Korean-American relations straight when I supported him. However he is getting much worse than I expected. He is a trained, expert liar. He may want us to believe his moronic bullshits. But at this time he knows that my compatriots would not believe his sophistry. That is why he had not shown up on mass media for a week after last week’s address on the nation, and just acting like the emperor in new clothes in Andersen’s fairy tales. He might decide to be a dumb leader rather than to be a first President impeached twice. Please be a man. Don’t act like Bush, Mr. President!

In his last week’s address, President said, “We cannot allow anything to be won through terrorism.” How? He already sent two non-armored units for peace, which are construction and engineering units and medical aid units. But they have not contributed to peace in Iraq at all. Then what he really wants to say is to send the armored units to fight and revenge. McGannon says that leadership is action, not position. But President No’s dogmatic actions are rambling, not knowing where to go. He just takes much pains to stick to hold the foremost position. His new Prime Minister may teach him how to survive people’s distrust because he already learned all about the secrets after his failed education policy.

Impractical is Lincoln’s idea, the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. His dream may come true if people are limited to only politicians. However politicians have continuously deceived people to hold fast to their ideology and finally to accumulate their personal profit. I firmly believe that they are the last people who don’t tell a lie! That is the first reason out of thousands I hate politicians and I do not support any of them. It is the most disgusting moment when I heard that he ordered to fire at terrorists to protect his people from the upcoming terror! It had been safe at least here before his killing spree. I am totally against the Bush’s evil War on Iraq. Why do we have to be complicitous in his crime?

President No and his posse should immediately withdraw their plan to dispatch more troops to Iraq. All soldiers also should be brought back home. It is their war, not ours. Bush is lunatic enough to jump around to plunder Iraq of their spirit as well as their oil in order to establish Pax Americana in the Middle East. Even though he insists that he has never ordered it, too many innocent Iraqi civilians have been injured, tortured and murdered by the stupid white man. His criminal acts of genocide and ethnocide must not be inexcusable and unforgettable in the history, which he doesn’t know and doesn’t care about (What the [CENSORED] is he? A [CENSORED] moron? How could he be elected as a President?). Mr. President, listen to people! We must not be dragged into the unjustifiable war.

60 Minutes: How does the president [Bush] think history will judge him for going to war in Iraq?
Woodward: After the second interview with him on Dec. 11, we got up and walked over to one of the doors. There are all of these doors in the Oval Office that lead outside. And he had his hands in his pocket, and I just asked, ‘Well, how is history likely to judge your Iraq war,’ says Woodward. And he said, ‘History,’ and then he took his hands out of his pocket and kind of shrugged and extended his hands as if this is a way off. And then he said, ‘History, we don’t know. We’ll all be dead.’

In the address to the nation of June 23rd, President No said, “Harming innocent civilians cannot be tolerated for any reason. … We cannot allow anything to be won through terrorism. Terrorism must not achieve its goal.” Mr. President, you know that tremendous innocent Iraqi civilians are murdered by your greedy war criminal and his groupies. We know what is going on. How dare you try to wheedle people into winning over their support? Please send your son and daughter first to Iraq before sending our youths, if you truly, madly and deeply intend to help reconstruct Iraq! We are not your scapegoat. Finally I want to ask him, “What did you do to protect Korean from what you call terror attack and what will you do before saying the safety of our people is more important than anything else?” Don’t hide behind the Stars and the Stripes! That’s not the place where you belong to.
