When this WaPo article came up first on my search block, I read it, blinked, reread it, and asked out loud \u201cWhat in the hell is wrong with that fat basterd?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before you read it, there are a few things from history\u2019s locker that you should know.<\/p>\n<p>The Romans had a great plumbing system, didn\u2019t they? Yes, they kind of did. But in the digs at Pompeii and other places, including Nero\u2019s Golden Palace (built on the Roman slums that he burned), the sewage went down a hole and stayed there until some poor soul with cacatorium duty went down into the plumbing system and moved it along. (Shovel the shit or suffer the whip.) There were, in fact, commodes in the kitchen in some houses in Pompeii.<\/p>\n<p>The Romans were infested with parasites such as whipworm, usually picked up from the public cacatoria where everyone used a common sponge to wipe their butts. They were great engineers, but they had no idea how to make toilet paper (or if you prefer, bath tissue). They also had a love of garum, a fermented fish sauce made from uncooked fish. Any parasites the fish had picked up, such as fish tapeworm, were transmitted to the consumer, because cooking killed the parasites. And despite their culture and love of regular bathing, external parasites such as lice and fleas infested the Romans just as much as they did the Vikings and other European populations, right on up through the Middle Ages. The hemorrhagic fever that nearly wiped out the population of Athens in 430BC was probably brought in from northern Africa (Ethiopia) by people infested with either of those insects.<\/p>\n<p>You would think that in this modern world, where vermifuges are available for every critter on Earth, including people where and when needed, this would be a thing of the past, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>Well, not if you live in a country with a ruler so demented that his only goal is to piss off a perceived enemy that can pound him into the ground head first. He is nothing like his Daddy or his Granddaddy. They were better managers, even if they were Commie crapweasels. They might have stiffed the general population, but they didn&#8217;t do that to their military.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s more important now for Fatty Kim da T\u2019ird to try to blow up a mountain and threaten to annihilate some other country than it is to keep his people, <em>including his military<\/em>, fed properly and healthy. If he really wants to wage war, he will lose, and lose badly. You could probably defeat the Nork military by throwing poptop cans of cat food at them.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the link to the WaPo article:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/worldviews\/wp\/2017\/11\/19\/what-the-parasites-in-a-defectors-stomach-tell-us-about-north-korea\/?utm_term=.f13d2a26487f\">https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/worldviews\/wp\/2017\/11\/19\/what-the-parasites-in-a-defectors-stomach-tell-us-about-north-korea\/?utm_term=.f13d2a26487f<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are stray cats in my neighborhood that are healthier and better fed.<\/p>\n<p>That Fat Basterd needs to pay for this, right through his fat ass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As usual, I was looking for stuff to provide a snarky view of ND:tBF\u2019s malfeasance toward &hellip; <a title=\"Worse and Worse In Norkiland\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=76058\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Worse and Worse In Norkiland<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[214],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-north-korea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76058\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
