TNKR on KBS news corner 2016-02-20 at 6 pm

TNKR (now FSI) will be featured for one minute on the KBS News corner on February 20, 2016 at 6 pm.

KBS was with us from 10:30 a.m. until 5 pm when we finally left the Matching session. That's right, KBS reporters were with us for 6 1/2 hours, for what was planned to be a one-minute segment. Is segment the right word? Feature seems too grand. Well, it is longer than the commercials, one minute of TV time is a long time, and it is better to have a short segment or feature rather than nothing else. Still, it feels like a roller coaster at an amusement park. Wait in line a long time for a two minute ride.

The Korea Herald is also planning an article soon, a reporter interviewed the TNKR co-directors a few days ago, and returned yesterday from 1 to 7 pm to learn more about what we are doing...

Manufactured cases

My former Cato Institute colleague Bob Levy is profiled by the Associated Press for his role in the challenge to the DC gun ban. One great thing about Levy is that he tells it like it is. As the article quotes: And Levy freely admits the case is manufactured, not one that bubbled up by chance from the district's steady flow of criminal cases involving guns. He wanted presentable plaintiffs to make a case for gun rights, not criminals. "We didn't want crack heads and bank robbers to be poster boys for the Second Amendment," he said. Is there a problem with this case being manufactured? I heard a talking head on the radio complaining a while ago that this case wasn't from real DC residents, that it was from outsiders. What's wrong with that? There may be some times that it takes an outsider to challenge an injustice or bad law. Did DC residents claim that Martin Luther King Jr. was an outsider who should have minded his own business? And about the case being ...

"Yoegi Anjuseyo!"

* I have a short reflection in today's Korea Times about an encounter with an unfriendly looking Korean man on the subway. It was a reminder not to be too quick in judging people in Korea. 09-13-2011 16:47 'Yeogi Anjeuseyo!' By Casey Lartigue Jr. The recent incident in which an American English teacher bullied an elderly Korean man and other passengers on the bus reminded me of a more pleasing incident from years ago. I was on the subway, taking the train outside of Seoul for a work assignment. I have the habit of standing on the subway to strategically position myself near the doors in case my stop magically appears. On that particular day, there was a Korean man STARING at me. Not just looking at me, but intensely staring at me. He had an incredible frown on his face. Not just for one stop, but for several stops the guy just kept staring at me. If I had known more Korean then I would have been able to curse him ...
