Kim Jong-Ill?
My sister and I keep a list of our favorite Demented Dictators. For years the top spot has been occupied by North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il for his Elvis pompadour, platform shoes, Nehru jacket, sunglasses, bad poetry, cognac-guzzling, and generally loony behavior, such as having his favorite movie director kidnapped and forcing him to make the North Korean version of Godzilla. He’s a film buff, you know.
American intelligence officials announced today that North Korea’s Dear Leader is seriously ill. They believe he’s had a stroke. Â If they’re right, expect a mad scramble for power in his country, which happens to have a nuclear arsenal.
According to Boing Boing, Kim Jong-Il is a “fan” of South Park creators Parker and Stone. There’s a redeeming quality. He “appeared” in their animated movie Team America, where he had a musical solo: “Ronery, I’m so ronery. . .”

Not a lot of folks have noticed that North Korea is stirring the pot a bit with that nuclear card now that winter is just around the corner. They always pull this stunt around this time of the year to beg for more aid via blackmail.
