'It's the statistics, stupid'
There are many satirical remarks about statistics by famous figures who have made history in their different fields. On top of the list of quotes, in my opinion, is the crystal clear expression by Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), a British statesman of the Conservative Party who twice served as prime minister of the United Kingdom.

Drunk driving as 1st-degree murder
Drink at bars here, there and everywhere and drive; then police will show you some new “bars.” Driving while intoxicated (DWI) or under the influence (DUI), and drinking and driving have become a target of public furor anew over the past week following two fatal accidents caused by the “killer disease.”

Exemption from military service
The Jakarta Palembang Asian Games 2018 have entered midway with national players of 45 participating countries doing or having done their best in 40 events for the honor of their countries, not to mention their own.

Paradise of demonstration
It is within bounds to say that a day in Seoul, the mega capital city of the Republic of Korea, begins with a demonstration and ends with a demonstration.

'Summer time'
When it comes to summertime, people must think of the sizzling heat, especially the unprecedented one of this year, and music lovers may be reminded of “Summertime” from George Gershwin's 1935 opera “Porgy and Bess.”

'Republic of Regulation'
What are public servants for? A servant is one that serves others or the home of a master or personal employer. A public servant especially performs duties for the people, namely tax payers.

What heats up the heat
A record heat wave has been plaguing the peninsula for more than two weeks with no signs yet of abating soon, forcing Koreans to toss and turn during sleepless nights and adding to their world-renowned quick temper.

No cure for dropping birthrate?
Do you believe that South Korea could be empty by 2750, if its birthrate continues to drop like right now? A “shocking” report by the National Assembly Research Service in 2015 predicted the worst scenario after 735 years, warning that “Koreans will be extinct by 2750.”
2018-07-26 17:07
How to beat the heat
The peninsula is boiling, if I may be allowed a little exaggeration. It's getting hotter day by day for sleepless nights. Some people draw it strong: “It's like sitting in a sauna.”

'It's the economy, stupid'
The headline of this column must be still familiar not only to Americans but to our readers as Bill Clinton's triumphant presidential campaign slogan of 1992.
