#1 As messy and inefficient as it is, one thing democracy does well is to provide for an orderly, non-violent transfer of power. And one of the big problems of choosing dictatorship as a career is that the retirement plans tend to really suck. Just try to imagine what somebody like kimmie does when he gets old and tired or if he finds that playing "Dear Leader" isn't fun anymore. Who do you trust not to shoot you when you give up your guns? Sounds like kimmie can't even trust his own sons.

#2 North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has been preparing a military-led collective leadership to rule the communist country after his death, a news report said on Sunday.

Here's hoping that collectivized leadership is as successful (and as lethal to those collectivized) as collectivized farming was.

#4 I'm sorry Jong-Nam, but for someone to have a father who has his own country, and a 1.1 million strong military with nuclear power and there's probably a strong spy force in the country (NKVD style) and you can't get a decent forged passport.

- I taboo these people as nothing more then fools
