#1 I should have added this before, but at what point does North Korea become a better place to live than Turkmenistan. I think even Kimmie still purports to have hospitals ...

#2 These poor folks need an iron fist / bloody red revolution. Rivalling NorkiLand for sheer insanity is truly making a statement.

#4 ...The Great and Venerable Turkmenbashi needs to see the muzzle of a T-72 at extremely close range.

#5 One of my hobbies is collecting foreign coins and paper money. I'm starting a collection of the filthy lucre of toppled despots---meaning, only after they're toppled. Got me some Saddams and some afghanis. I am so looking forward to getting a few colorful portraits of Turkmenbashi to stick in the album.

It's kinda funny, but there are despots who stick their mugs on the money, and those who don't. Saddam: yes; Castro: no (but when Castro goes down I'm getting myself one of these beauties). Fahd: yes; Kimmie: no (puts daddy on the money instead). Abdullah: no, Elizabeth: yes. (Ha ha, just kidding.)

#6 Angie...
Does that 3 peso Che note mean the same thing a 3 dollar bill would?

#7 think they'll ever be able to fit Charles' ears on a regular-sized British note? Thank God the Euro will prevent that tragedy?
