Kim "Losing Sleep" Over His People

Kim 'losing sleep' over his people

FOR a man who rarely appears in public, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il is pressed for time.

Mr Kim's emotions got the better of him during a recent meeting with factory managers and those who run small businesses when he said the demands of running the state had left him little time to sleep, a Japanese website that monitors North Korean news reported yesterday.

'I wish one second could be one hour so that I can work more for the nation and the people,' he said, according to Uriminzokkiri.com, which cited the Rodong Sinmun communist daily.

He also told the group he would be able to take a good rest when his people live well.

The 22.5 million North Koreans in the impoverished state rely on global charity.

No, Kim, you are losing sleep because Bush is holding your manicured totalitarian feet to the fire.

Think he would do well to sleep with one eye open as he is likely to wake up and find one of his starving subjects chewing on one of his limbs.

He must be so ronery, so ronery that he can't sleep. Maybe he's seen Team America World Police, realized he's been isolated in the world that he just can't take it any more.

I picture him spending 60% of his time playing with an Xbox.

Maybe he should just do them all a favor and kill himself.

Ok, that's enough of that dumbass bad Asian speak. That got old in the 70's. Anyone going to pull out "Me so Sawry?" jokes? Besides, I think Asian readers might find it somewhat offensive (both of them, that is.)

I think we reserve the right here to make fun of every one and everything regardless of race religion or how seriously we take ourselves.

I think Mr. Kim deserves any and all directed satire.
And if GOD forbid it mangles some politically correct b.s., so what.
