A Monarchy of Monsters
While it can’t feed or house North Koreans, [The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] is a world-beater in longevity, a record-setter among totalitarian states.
Stalin led a government for 29 years, Mao 27 years, Hitler 12 years. The dictatorship of Kim Il-sung and his son, Kim Jongil, one continuous government, has now reached the outlandish age of 65. Having established inheritance as its method of choosing a leader, it may replace Kim Jong-il (who is said to be ill) with his third son, Kim Jong-Un. One family has found a way to make its own special variety of radical evil permanent. Barack Obama is the 11th U.S. president to deal with it. -- Robert Fulford: North Korea, an antique nightmare | Full Comment | National Post11th eh? My bet is he'll just grant it favored-nation status.

One family has found a way to make its own special variety of radical evil permanent.
And we can all see how much bloody good the "international community" does about it.

I guess the New World Order, or One World Government means that if you can become a head of state, then you're untouchable. Any sociopathy, perversion, murderous instinct doesn't matter; anything goes. It's all good. There will be no consequences. If you manage to become a head of state, you're golden. You get to live the good life until you die, no questions asked.

One family?
What's the name of that family again in Cuba?

@Uncle Jefe
Those Castros have only been running Cuba for 51 years (Fidel took the reins in 1959) so they're only silver medalists in the Totalitarian Olympics.

Oh I know, Tom, but my point is that the Kim Klan ain't the only family franchise in the business...
