Lifting King Kong (kind of, sort of based on a true story)

http://www.dramafever.com/drama/4371/Lifting_King_Kong/

Lee Ji Bong is a former 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics athlete in weightlifting, but a career-ending injury forces him into early retirement. Unable to find another job and unsupported by the Korean Olympic Committee, he ends up working at a nightclub handing out flyers. When his former coach finds him, he insists Ji Bong begin a career as a coach at a high school in Boseong - a rural region in the southwest. There, he forms a weightlifting team made up of a ragtag group of outcast girls.

A Brilliant Prophecy from 93 Years Ago:

H.L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic, and Democrat. He wrote this editorial while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920 edition. He wrote:

“As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron.”

-—H.L. Mencken, the Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

So it was written, and so it has come to pass.
