Kim Jong-Il

Saturday, November 3, 2007

Kim Jong-Il led North Korea from 1994 until 2011, when he died. While he was a bit eccentric, he also a shrewd politician. Kim used his country's nuclear program to express its clout on the world stage. He was less effective at feeding his nation's starving people. There was no freedom of speech in North Korea. Simply suggesting that the dictator needed a haircut got you 45 months of electrodes on your genitals. Personally, I always liked Kim's haristyle. The little fiery North Korean autocrat was a fanatic for the show Friends, loved magicians, and hated smokers and the tone-deaf.
