    more pretentious sanctimony from Jacob
    December 07, 2010 | 10:54 PM

    Um...have you ever been to the main museum in Seoul? It starts with neolithic chipped flint axes--with human blood on the tip. It proceeds through the hundreds of wars on the korean penninsula.

    I think that, while you sit in your office figuring out new and innovative ways to be a snide smart-ass, who thinks he is better than everyone else, you might want to consider what a pathetic narcissist you are.

    And if you consider long enough, you will realise that you are on the right island. Because where else but Maui, or perhaps Ashland, would your self-righteous, no-value-added attitude be applauded?

    Please, sir, may I invest in your news organ?
