Beef! It's what's for dinner!

I just have to keep laughing about the whole beef thing. I have to say it is the best thing that has happened in Korean politics in a long time, because there are so many ironies. First, you have everyone who voted for M.B. who are now up in arms about the beef. This is ironic, because he kept saying he was going to improve the economy, part of which was help bring down food prices, and he has certainly brought them down. Yet all his followers, with their undying support of the farmers, are willing to pay the highest prices in the world for beef to support an insanely small population of family farmers that live off of a few cows a year that they raise. The news today said beef prices tumbled 20% just on the news of M.B. dropping all restrictions on imports. Just wait until that juicy set of ribs off a Texas Longhorn gets in stores. They say it is 1/4 the price of Korean beef. Those prices are going to come tumbling down. What’s even better is that not only is this bringing down beef prices, but pork prices also fell 15% today because pork is seen as a replacement for beef. So not only were we helping all those cow-massaging ranchers get fat, but also the pig ranchers as well. I can’t wait to see if all those people who are choking chickens also get kicked where it counts. I was watching my wife get very irritated with M.B. and the news, and I just had to gloat.
“I can’t wait to eat all of that great beef,” says I.
“I can’t believe this. Everyone is going to get mad cow disease because of the damn Americans.”
“That’s part of our plan for continued world dominance: We bring all our competitors into submission by poisoning them with our beef.”

Besides, I don’t’ see what the beef is all about. After all, South Korea gives so much food to NorKs anyways. Might as well give them any beef that is contaminated. It will bring an end to the regime (since any meat certainly would only go to the upper class up there), and they certainly won’t have the sophisticated equipment that South Korea apparently has, which allows them to detect a chip of bone in 20 tons of meat.
