—Kim was a beautiful South Korean actress who took her own life.


Why? 


Because she had a bit too much to drink one night, got behind the wheel of her car, hit a power station (or something like that), and was arrested for DUI.


(Or OWI, whatever it’s called where you live.)


Long story short: she brought shame upon herself, and had to check out.


That boggles my American mind, because here, we put drunks in all sorts of positions of power.
Hey, gorgeous South Korean actresses who like to imbibe alcohol: move to the U.S. of A.


We won’t mind your habits.


Side discussion: Hawk Tuah girl, her crypto, and disappearance. 


—Staying in South Korea, PSY, the singer behind the enormous hit ‘Gangnam Style,’ lost weight recently.


He posted a picture of his new self on social media, and was praised and embraced for his efforts.


Lol, j/k.
He got shouted at, shamed, and issued a semi-apology.


What is wrong with society (and celebrities) that we shame them for getting healthy, and they feel the need to apologize for not being fat anymore? 


Happened to Adele, and probably one or two others. 


Dumbest thing, ever.


Side discussion: obesity, and all the ways we’ve danced around the subject due to political correctness.


—Social Security has been saved, everyone! It’s solvent again!


Why?

Covid!


So many people passed away that Social Security saved $205 billion!


Silver lining to the pandemic!
Side discussion: viewer comments.


—While campaigning, Donald Trump said things like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security wouldn’t be touched.


He also said he never heard of Project 2025.


Well, now he’s in office, and he’s done a 180.


Just like anyone and everyone with an IQ higher than that of a turnip knew he would.


—Oh no, one of the worst restaurants chains of all time might file for bankruptcy! Where will I see women that rank between 5 - 6 on the hotness scale and food that ranks below Denny’s on the flavor scale?


Seriously, how did it say in business this long?


—Last week, an overly passionate (yet under-educated) commenter started crowing about Palestine. 


No nuance, just nonsense.


So, let’s talk about Israel, Palestine, and the Gaza conflict. 


—Mayor Pete should’ve been the nominee in 2020, because we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in now had he been.


Is he gonna run in 2028?
He’s certainly making overtures. 


The far left is insane; Obama has called them out in the past, and now Pete Buttigieg is hitting them.


This is a good thing.


This is a very good thing.


Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.


Tune in and get your giggle on.
