Meanwhile, As South Korea Tries to Out-Crazy the United States...

Here's the latest on Choi-gate, the scandal currently engulfing South Korea's president Park Geun-hye.  The slow, incompetent response to the sinking of a ferry that killed 295, mostly high school students in 2014, may have occurred because president Park was receiving plastic surgery:

"Broadcaster YTN reported Thursday that a nursing officer was at the presidential office on the day Sewol sank in waters off Jindo, South Jeolla, citing an anonymous source from the prosecution’s special investigation team into the scandal surrounding Choi Soon-sil, the longtime friend of the president.

While details over why the officer was sent to the Blue House and what medical procedures may have been performed were not reported, the broadcaster’s report added to suspicions that Park was under some form of medical treatment during the crucial hours after the ferry started sinking, which ultimately led to the deaths of 304 people. 

There is already speculation that Park may have undergone cosmetic surgery and was, at the time, anesthetized by propofol."

Of that which we cannot speak yadda yadda yadda.
