Season 5, ELL Finals Game 2

Will Kim Jong-Il capture his second ELL title or will Omar al-Bashir send the championship series to an all-important deciding Game 3? Let's find out.

Kim vs al-Bashir
In addition to firing off rockets in a bid to scare the world, North Korea's Kim Jong-Il has created a new, extremely effective, weight loss program. You can eat whatever you want and you don't have to exercise for one minute. All you have to do is have a near-fatal stroke. The leaner Kim looked great, depending on how you define "great," at his most recent public appearance, the first since his stroke. And what a way to come back: as public enemy # 1.

Omar al-Bashir, from Sudan, is challenging the sovereignty of the International Criminal Court as he continues to defy a warrant for his arrest on charges of genocide. This could be a big moment in determining the efficacy and relevance of international organizations designed to save the victims of intra-national repression. Because of the stress of being in the spotlight in such a moment, al-Bashir has put on some weight. In fact, his doctor asked him to lose 10-15 pounds. After the doctor was killed, al-Bashir set off on a quest to find a fatter doctor. Maybe he should try Kim's weight loss program.
winner: Kim
series: Kim 2-0

Congratulations to Kim Jong-Il for winning his second championship in three seasons! The season in review extravaganza is still to come.
