Babylon

My new favorite show, MAD MEN. After seeing a couple on On Demand, I'm watching them from the beginning. From season one (2007), this is the best episode so far:



My neice is getting married today. She looks just like Elisabeth Moss.

.

I'm for a Public Option

And Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL).

Now why would this nice Republican man want to deliberately mislead people as to how the proposed new system would work?



Here's a woman that could give Sarah Palin a run for her money in 2012 or 2018. Joe Biden likes her and she's knows how to talk straight. I'll be voting for Debbie.

Summertime!

Yes! It finally stopped raining and the sun's out for the 4th. Still, gotta love Janis and her brand of blues...

esl teachers in quarantine south korea

While the worldwide media focuses on North Koreas nukes, missle tests, and latest threats, and an ex-president's suicide in South Korea, there's a story going on in S.Korea about 50+/- english language teachers (Americans included) being held in quarantine for Influenza A, H1N1, the swine flu. They're blogging from their confinement center, but no ones seems to be aware of it here in the states. The US Embassy in Seoul knows though.

Some Korean news stories from this week allude to it by saying they are being 'observed' or 'isolated'--but no mention about the actual quarantine:

The new hires are being confined in a govt training facility in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, a Human Resources Development Center just south of Gangnam and just east the Seoul Art Center (pictured on Google Earth). This is the link to the quarantine location (hardly a gulag):

With address, phone number, email addy, map, and directions

Big media has been contacted numerous times, but I guess they have their hands full with the nuke stories. Not even so much as the 'who, what, when, where, or why' has been brought to the public's attention. At least not here in the states.
