One of the More Amusing Things I Have Read Recently

[lavender]

This article in Atlantic Monthly talks about future methods of dealing with leaders who won't step down. It says, to promote democratic election of leaders, we shoud provide positive incentives for past leaders to step down from office. Some of them talk about creating professorships for them at various universities.

The most amusing, in my opinion, was the future job of Kim Jong Il of North Korea. Apparently, he is a huge movie fan. The article is talking about Kim Jong Il joining Ebert & Roeper. LOL

How interesting would that be. Ebert, Roeper and Kim Jong Il. Let's talk nukes and film. LOL

Here's the article.

Ya know, North korea is far-and-away the most fucked up country on the planet. Their leadership is starving their people while the US provides more than 200 million dollars in food to fend off hunger. Then North Korea criticizes the US for not selling them more oil so they are forced to build Nuclear reactors. The kicker is they have decried evil in the most recent James Bond movie and called it evidence of the faults of US society.

All this while people go hungry in the face of rampant industrialization int eh region.

isn't that how it always goes?

give us money, but we're still going to talk shit about you.

Sounds like they're on par with a number of different countries we supply with monies.

You could wipe them all out in one fell swoop by staging a real-live "Celebrity Deathmatch." Saddam vs. Osama vs. Qaddafi vs. Kim Jong Il vs. whoever else wants in. Winner gets $1 billion.

It would be the biggest thing in TV history.
