"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Gone With the Wind is a very popular novel in North Korea, of all places.
In other North Korean news, a government minister who fell from favor has been…well, vaporized.

I was pondering last week whether there is a place more evil than North Korea. Zimbabwe is on the list, so is Cuba. Somalia is a basket case of a hell hole. Any place hapless enough to attract the attention of the UN is about to see things get a whole lot worse.
But none of those places take such pains to crush the human soul as thoroughly as do the Norks.

I'm sitting here trying to make fun of North Korea, and it's easy to do, but in the end I just hope and pray for their deliverance, their freedom.
Jonah: Amen to that. It's got to be the worst hell hole in the world.
