Jules Crittenden on "'The Sun of Songun Shedding Its Rays All over the World,'
an epic serial blockbuster about the life of Kim Jong Il." From The Independent (U.K.):
His birth was marked by a double rainbow and a new star, he hit 11 holes-in-one in his first game of golf, finishing 38 under par, and throughout his life he has performed heroic feats impossible for mere mortals. When he shouts, "huge storms happen".
I don't know ... Even Tiger Woods rarely gets more than 8 Holes in One per round.
Yeah, but if actual performance did not stop the media from cropping the view in order to make Obama's pitch look better, what makes you think they won't also say (15 years down the road) that he was the second coming of Roger Clemens?
It's amazing what a death threat can do to a batter, isn't it?
Not to mention the umpire. You would expect a few of them to be outside an honest strike zone by accident.
Sure he can, the same way Obama is going to do it: Print $$
That's part of the problem, actually, NK is believed to be one of the major sources of counterfeit US currency.
How dare you confuse Kim Il Sung with Kim Jong Il!
It makes him look inconsistent! He was 38 under? Okay so he shot a 34. Now we know that 11 of those 34 came on 11 holes, so on the remaining 7 holes he shot a 23. So that's five 3's and two 4's.
Obviously, he can't get just par on any hole, so both of those 4's had to come on par-fives. So he got a hole in one on all four par threes, plus seven par fours. So...
A guy who got a hole in one SEVEN times on par-fours also twice took four strokes to reach the pin on par-fives. What gives?
He did the giant rabbits thing instead.
Could we say he is the paradigm of a new kind of presidential fitness, one geared less toward preventing heart attacks than winning swimsuit competitions. The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games?
Is he standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God?
A double rainbow, supernova and cloudburst vs 11 holes-in-one in his first round ever?
cp277, either your humor is very dry or you need to get out more:-)
i'm pretty sure i saw that movie. i rent a lot of asian movies. some of the korean and japanese flicks are awesome. infernal affairs (yes, that's how it's spelled( is one of my favorite movies ever. fwiw, nearly every time i rent ANY movie of european origin, i am profoundly dissapointed. nearly every asian film i am pleased. although i did like "let the right one in" which was from sweden or finland or something like that.
I understand many N Koreans spend time gathering small objects off the ground to eat...
