What Would Be a Good Crank Call for the North Korean U.N. Mission?

ReACH, the Japanese abductee advocacy group, sends: Call North Korea at UN in New York, USA 1-212-972-3105 Call North Korea at UN in Geneva, Switzerland 41-22-735-4370 Send fax to North Korea at UN in New York, USA 1-212-972-3154 Send fax to North Korea at UN in Geneva, Switzerland 41-22-786-0662 Don’t forget to copy and paste Kim Jong-Il’ s photo, (example) and write “Important Message to Chairman Kim Jong-Il”, so that they cannot throw it away and have to report it...

It’s time for another installment of the KCNA drinking game!

I do not think that word means what you think it means. Citing facts to prove that from a historical point of view the imperialists look down upon those countries with weak military power, force them to meet their unilateral and brigandish demands and consider them as targets of their armed intervention and aggression, the article goes on: [KCNA, Nov. 9. 2009] Take a drink! If a country, though small, increases defence capability, attaching importance to military affairs, the imperialists...

Did Bill Clinton Meet Kim Jong Il’s Double?

Even for North Korea, this would be the WTF story of the year: A number of analysts here are convinced that not all the photos being released of North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-il, are really photos of Kim Jong-il. Instead, they say, a look-alike has been standing in for him on some of the 122 trips he’s reportedly made this year to the countryside, factories, cultural events, military units, and all sorts of other venues. Some observers say the North...

Lanny Davis Impersonates KCNA, Beclowns Self

So intricately forked is Lanny’s tongue that he’s apparently capable of performing analingus on three subjects at the same time: The release of the two journalists by the North Koreans on Tuesday night D.C. time was the result of a tour-de-force, trifecta combination of the three most talented and truly great political leaders of our times — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; her husband, former President Bill Clinton; and President Barack Obama.  [Lanny Davis, The Hill] He forgot to...

Take a Drink!

Curtis reminds me: Recalling that the Korean war of aggression ignited by the U.S. imperialists 59 years ago was the most brutal and brigandish war in the history of world wars, the statement continued [….] Should the U.S. imperialists ignite another war, oblivious of the lesson drawn from their past defeat, the heroic Korean People’s Army will fully display its invincible might of the powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu which has grown under the care of the great Songun...

WTF? Michael Jackson Wanted to Ask Kim Jong Il to Free Laura Ling and Euna Lee?

If this doesn’t win “WTF of the Decade,” it’s an honorable mention: The last time I spoke to my friend Michael Jackson was about a month ago, 3 weeks before his shocking death. He had called me late one night to ask about another of my close friends who he had read about in the news. Laura Ling, a former colleague and friend, was detained originally by North Korean border guards along with her colleague Euna Lee on March 17th....

Some Levity

From a very funny blog called “Lowering the Bar,” we learn that nothing good comes of trying to put a fool and his money back together: Please note: All values in this post have been converted (very roughly) to U.S. dollars from the original South Korean currency, the won, to spare you any confusion over how much won he won or, more accurately, did not win. (There is no additional charge for this service.) Currently, a U.S. dollar will get...

Even the Chinese Tell Jokes About North Korea

It’s a little old, but if I hadn’t seen it before, I figured not all of you had, either.  You’d think that the humor wouldn’t translate, but actually, it does, though grimly: 一个英国人，一个法国人，一个朝鲜人在一起聊天。英国人：最幸福的事情就是冬天晚上回家，穿着羊毛裤坐在壁 炉前面。法国人：你们英国人就是古板，最幸福的事情是和一个金发女郎一起去地中海度假，然后我们好和好散。朝鲜人：最幸福的事情就是半夜有人敲门，开门 后：” 康成美，你被捕了。””你弄错了，康成美在隔壁。” A Briton, a Frenchman, and a North Korean are having a conversation. The Briton: “I feel happiest when relaxing before the fireplace on a winter night. Frenchman: “You guys are too old fashioned. I feel happiest when I go on vacation with a beautiful...
