A Leauki's Writings

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has pancreatic cancer, South Korean broadcaster YTN said on Monday in an unsourced news flash.

[Usually, such a thing wouldn't be funny. But the man has let "his" people starve while he tortured dissidents and threatens South Korea and Japan.]

Kim's health is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the reclusive communist state.

[And indeed, this is the entire report.]

Isn't pancreatic cancer one of the worst possible cancers you can get?

I'd say that it's good that the megalomaniacle, unstable, autocratic threat to everyone and everything around him is on his way out, but I've got to worry that having a terminal cancer is going to do bad things to ol' Kim's already ample supply of crazy. The nutty bastard might try to take everyone else out with him and launch a nuke somewhere that'll make all the fingers on the red button a little twitchy.

Though I don't see it doing much good. His repressive regime is likely to outlive him if he doesn't decide that ending the world with a bang would be a whole barrel of laughs. It'll just mean we'll get his nutty SON, instead, who is apparently a chip off the old block.

No, but the word game is funny.

I guess I'm just not in that type of mood, 'cause I'm not finding it funny.

Remember that for every minute that sadist lies in bed ill, he cannot torture anyone; and his subordinates are likely less evil than he is.
