"In an email statement regarding the death of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il, Rick Perry mistakenly referred to the despot as Kim Jong the Second."
Your “Yes, really” of the day.
made me LOL.
How bad is it that the first thing I wonder is what this means for the fate of kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com? via thedailywhat:
Follow Up of the Day: A North Korean state television presenter, clad all in black, tearfully announces the death of “Dear Leader” Kim Jong-il as a result of an “advanced acute myocardial infarction” brought on by “a great mental and physical strain.”
According to state media, Kim died Saturday morning on a train near Pyongyang while on a “field guidance tour for the building of a thriving nation.”
The official mourning period will last through December 29th. His funeral ceremony has been scheduled for December 28th. No foreign delegations will be allowed to attend.
His son, Kim Jong-un, was declared the new leader of North Korea. According to a bio in The Daily Telegraph, experts expect the “young general” to follow in his father’s “militaristic path,” particularly in area of nuclear arms development.
The White House released a short statement saying it was monitoring reports of Kim Jong-il’s death closely, and remains “in close touch with our allies in South Korea and Japan.”
