Are we still numbering the weeks of stay-at-home quarantine stuff? If we are, I apologize, because I have no idea which one were starting now. The only thing of which I am certain is that its Monday, April 9476th, 2020 today.
We kinda/sorta had some sports to pay attention to over the weekend, as the social-distance NFL draft wrapped up for a season that still may not happen. That wasnt much comfort for me, as I am not a fan of the current draft format, which I explained in my Friday column.
The one news story that played out over the last several days that wasnt all coronavirus-centric was the rumored demise of North Koreas doughy little dictator, Kim Jong-un.
NoKo is notoriously closed off and never really in a sharing mood, so its difficult to ascertain where the rumors originated. Lil Kim hasnt been seen in public since April 11th, apparently, and that set the alarm bells ringing.

Murderous b*st*rd.
Easy call: If she (Kim's sister) takes the job, the press will fawn over her and wonder why we havent had a female murderous dictator yet.
Be careful what you wish for.
Like dictator Sadaam Hussein, Kim JongIl likely has several stand in doubles.
I am sure the new Kim will be scrutinized very closely for plastic surgery scars, LOL.
“Generalissimo Franco is still dead”.
Wouldn’t this be the perfect time to get the people to overthrow this government in exchange for freedom and removal of the border?
Not likely.
Norks have been brainwashed for a dozen generations.
Or zombie
He is a murderous bastard, but he strikes me as relatively ineffectual and (mostly) harmless as a result.
His sister scares the crap out of me.
Needs a portmanteau: Vamtator...Dicpyre...Bloodtyrant...dicsucker.
“Kim Jong un dead” is almost as confusing as when Kim Jong was il.
Eyes of death. Frightening.
Kim Jong UnDead?
Sounds like a job for the Undead thread.
He only remains in power if his generals are well fed, wealthy and possibly also fear him. Also, if his Chinese backers are happy with him. If either of those groups is especially unhappy, Kim Jong-Un will quickly succumb to a case of lead poisoning.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea reported today that Kim Jong Un is not dead and in fact is “the most alive person in the universe.”
I was thinking along the same lines, that our press would fawn and any criticism of her would result in accusations of sexism.
That was a snippet from the satire website Babylon Bee, not a real news article.

I think he’s in a bunker hiding from the virus, since he’s aware he has about a thousand comorbidities that would doom him.
He might be dead, he might not be dead. He’s Schrodinger’s dictator. Kim Jong-Uncertain.
But watch out: his little sister is worse.
