NORTH KOREA UNVEILS NEW AIRPORT, EXECUTES ARCHITECT

Liberals often wish we had the same infrastructure expansion as Communist China. The Commies are of course famous for getting things done, even if the things are broken, don't work and aren't actually useful. The USSR got a lot of things done that didn't need doing. The end result were actual environmental catastrophes that liberals don't like talking about.

Meanwhile here their infrastructure projects are unworkable and can't get done because of their own senseless environmental reviews in which you have to spend years and millions of dollars on consultants just to repair a bridge.

Meanwhile North Korea is getting lots of things done. Like a gleaming new airport that hardly anyone will actually use.

North Korea's propaganda machine has spent days promoting a new airport in Pyongyang, showcasing the building's sleek glass walls and espresso stations. But the images, which feature Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, fail to mention that the building's principal designer was likely executed last year because Kim was unhappy with the design.

Well that's a minor issue. Stalin executed lots of architects. Never stopped liberals from admiring how he got things done. And North Korea probably killed fewer people building this airport than the average Stalinist construction project.

But this is where Socialism ends up, with an elite ruling class, a mass of terrified peasants and desperate attempts to attract wealthy tourists with luxuries. Compare North Korea to South Korea. And remember that if the left wins completely here, this is what we'll eventually end up looking like.

It's the latest appeal to potential tourists since Kim ascended to power in North Korea three years ago, featuring a jewelry store, coffee bar, a pharmacy, a chocolate fountain and other luxury amenities.

What, Syria is booked??

What?

All of his toadies carry racing books?

“Put me down for a hundred on Old Glue in the fifth at Santa Anita.”

Credit where credit is due. He picked himself a good looking wife.

WHAT's WRONG WITH THE DESIGN THAT IS WORTH EXECUTING THE ARCHITECT FOR?

The signs are in Engrish!!!!

Oh and Kim hates Baby Brue!!!! Baby Brue reminds him of U.N. inspectors!!! Dark Brue onry!!!!

The first picture, which appears to be an artist’s impression, also shows this terminal to be directly on the coast. I think this is supposed to be a new international terminal added to the existing airport, which is actually 15 miles from the coast. If you’re standing on the runway at Pyongyang Sunan International Airport, it’s very unlikely that you could even see the coastline from there, even though the first picture makes it look like the runway ends 100’ from the water’s edge.

” And remember that if the left wins completely here, this is what we’ll eventually end up looking like.”

They ARE winning, and we don’t have any nice new things, just Detroits from coast to coast. We’ll be lucky to look like Calcutta.

I enlarged the photo to see what they were writing.

“Shama lama ding dong”

“Pick up fresh tree bark for supper.”

“I wonder if Suzie likes me? I like her.”

“Here’s the crap I write to look busy.”

“How can one guy talk for five hours about corned beef?”
