Now that Kim Jong Il’s funeral is over, check out this video of new North Korean leader/fortunate son Kim Jong Un’s speech–a combination eulogy and plans for the future of North Korea. Like most Communist dictators, it goes on a little long, but there are some very funny parts to it.
Watch the video . . .
Hmmm. Finally, a very good example of the 99% vs the 1%.
99%=North Korean people.
1%=Kim Jong-un (The Michelle Obama of North Korea!) and the ruling class.
If I were an OWS scumbag, that alone would make me quit the movement in shame. But we all know Liberals are lousy with perspective.

Well, if I.F. Stone were still with us, Kim Jong Un would have at least one admirer, considering the extent to which Stone admired his grandfather as a peace-loving friend of the people.

Meh. Only a matter of time before Friedman starts slobbering over the guy. Thugs and tyrants never seem to have a shortage of useful idiot admirers.

Wow! They traded a guy who looks like a toad for his son who looks like a fat toad.

One South Korean colleague I once had told me that South Koreans would resent being mistaken for North Koreans, given that North Koreans look starved & famished, while South Koreans look normal. By that criteria, Mr Un looks more like a South Korean than a North Korean.
If he too kicks the bucket anytime soon, look forward to any minor son of his becoming the next great successor. Incidentally, if he has only a daughter, would she have a fair shot @ succession, or would that be out of the question? Speaking of which, does anyone recall any female heads of any Communist regimes?

A cute successor.North koreans leave shias behind in whining He He. Crying seems natural since they are in complete awe of their leaders.Loss of leader means loss of world or a massive catastrope for these little in frame but big in intellect race.North korea passed nuclear & missile technology to pakistan & pakistan passed the nuke know how to iran. Iran would be counting millions in dead by now if nuke technology was not procured from koreans, a attack on iran by america now means conversion of israel into a parking lot AND iran has luxury NOT to agree to america 100%. 1% disagreement with judeo -christians mean 1 million dead – america/israel cant stand even a little difference of views from any state.
I wish china follows the korean example & passes the intercontinental ballistic missile technology to iran,arabs wont take it as it is dangeros for their pygmy rulers & locals prefer rocks.
Nuclear deterrence is essential & imperative to keep muslim families safe from these monsters.

Yes, there was Ana Pauker of Romania for a few years after World War II, until she fell afoul of Stalin in the early 50s. She had the misfortune to be Jewish, and was purged at roughly the same time as the Sklansky trials, the Doctors Plot in the Soviet Union (sic) and other attacks on Jewish Communists carried out by Stalin.
She somehow survived until 1960. There is a book about her by Robert Levy which is worth reading.

At 3:11, he claims that he doesn’t go to the bathroom, but near the end, he claims that he uses toilet paper w/ the Korean people on it. So which is it?

Every time I see that still photograph of this clown, I can’t help but be reminded of this iconic photo:

Its a sign of inbreeding that in a dynasty, the new ruler looks less attractive than the previous one.
Nothing compares to the original. In keeping an iron grip on the state, Kim Jong-un will have to show he can surpass his father and grandfather.
That’s the problem with sequels – even with Communist ones – its nowhere as good as the original.
