North Korea executes Kim Jong Un's uncle
Fox News ^ | 12/12/2013

North Korea announced Thursday it had executed the uncle of leader Kim Jong Un, declaring him a traitor who tried to overthrow the state.

The announcement came only days after Pyongyang announced through state media that Jang Song Thaek -- long considered the country's No. 2 power -- had been removed from all his posts because of allegations of corruption, drug use, gambling, womanizing and leading a "dissolute and depraved life."

State news agency KCNA said a tribunal examined Jang's crimes, including "attempting to overthrow the state by all sorts of intrigues and despicable methods with a wild ambition to grab the supreme power of our party and state."

The report called him "a traitor to the nation" and "worse than a dog."

Sorry, brother, they broke the mold after her-no sis, but if she did, she would be pretty like her mom, just as my wife is. She is awesome person.

Mrs.jrzguy’s grandma had 7 children, when the commies came she grabs the children she could and fled for the train south. Her dad was a lucky one to be grabed, a few children were stuck behind. Heartbreaking.

Amongst all this commotion, I’ll posit that the uncle told little fatboy that he was about to die of a terrible disease.

Then, together, they planned to have uncle executed so that the unwashed masses would look to the Supreme Fatso as the most powerful leader, to eliminate corruption in the most corrupt nation on the planet.

The unwashed are impressed, and go back to trying to dig a few bits of grass from the square, to try to stay alive.

RE: Christmas dinner is going to be a bit tense.

An atheistic country doesn’t celebrate Christmas, or thanksgiving ( unless it is to give thanks to the Dear Leader ).
