Oh, Dog. Your tagline. *sniff*

I can think of a couple of our politicians that need the same medicine

Did he steal a cookie?

[MRadtke]

I wonder what the method of execution was this time?

[Tallguy]

Spiffy uniform. Looks like the guy holding the door at a NYC hotel.

[catfish1957]

This job is almost as dangerous as the No. 3 man in Al-qaeda

In most societies you come home and CELEBRATE your promotion.

Over there, you come home with that look of dread and terror on your face, and have to deal with a wife SCREAMING at you for being so STUPID as to be noticed and promoted.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The bigger the hat, the higher the rank, apparently.

LOL. Probably true. The only way to make sure you dodge the death would be to become pre-emptive. Find someone, frame him with heinous crime, and have him executed or assassinated. That is the way to earn Kim Jong-un’s trust and stay alive.

[zek157]

Was he blown up, or fed to dogs?

[TigerLikesRooster]

No details. Yet.

Sooner rather than later Kim is going to get his....
someone will take him out.

It's what s/he's been praying for:

The greatest risk to the dear leader is someone below him garnering too much admiration or support. Which might be a good definition of “factionalism”.

They say that Assad maintained control by dealing directly with 50 or so people in the government. These people didn’t know each other, there were no high level meetings as that might be a chance for them to conspire.

So, we finally know what the “object” was that got launched into space by North Korea the other day.

1. NEVER hint that the Fat Boy is fat.

2. NEVER make jokes about his haircut.

3. NEVER doodle in your little notepad when the Fat Boy is speaking.
