Yupp. With the death of Kim Jong-il — a man known as “Dear Leader” to devoted millions — the reigns of power in North Korea have now passed to yet another generation of the Kim family.

After a 17 year rule, the revered son of Kim Il-sung, succumbed to a heart attack at the age of 69. The country is now in the hands of his youngest son, Kim Jong-un.

While sometimes seen as sadistic (and overly militaristic) by outsiders, North Korea has risen from the scourge of a terrible famine to build up an army with nuclear capabilities that ranks among the world’s best!

The military in the area is now on HIGH ALERT, threatening the tenuous situation between North and South. Would you feel comfortable visiting the area?

With such a devoted following, could radical action be in the future?

Personally, I’m concerned!

So not fair.

Why can’t Brit come do a free show in Vancouver?

Mexican government official Marcelo Ebrard tweeted yesterday that it was official: Britney Spears will be giving a free show in Mexico City!!

It’s happening on December 4th to kick off the Xmas season!

Yay for Mexico, boo for us.

The resemblance is uncanny.

Do you think they’re twins separated at birth???

She can certainly handle a big weiner!

But can she also handle being President of the United States?

LOL!!

Okay, I don’t think it’s to bold to say that I think Michele Bachmann is an idiot. Uhm, I would go as far as calling her an unintelligent moron!!

But on top of that, she’s so batshit crazy, thinkin’ she has a chance at being president. Michele, the beard of her husband Marcus Bachmann, said the following this weekend —>

“We’re going to win the White House. So let’s finally have one of us in the White House. You won’t find YouTube clips of me speaking in support of Roe v. Wade, you won’t find me equivocating or hemming or hawing when I’m asked if marriage is between one man and one woman. You won’t find me paying off big political donors with big political favors.”

I’m sorry, I didn’t know we were watching a sitcom!

Let me cue the laugh track!

Was he ever!

As many of you know, federal NDP Leader Jack Layton died of cancer two days ago. He was only 61. The party says Jack died peacefully at
his home in Toronto. He was surrounded by loved ones.

Boy, am I ever heavyhearted.

I really admired him, he was courageous and one of the few good guys in politics. Glad he got to see his party’s amazing breakthrough in this past federal election, which propelled the NDP into Official Opposition in Ottawa.

It’s too bad, after announcing last month that he was taking a leave of absence to fight a 2nd form of cancer, Jack said he was confident that he would return once Parliament resumed in September.

Please! This was all, most likely, a friggin’ publicity ploy!

If not…

He knows he’d never win. And he does not wanna be humiliated!

His ego doesn’t wanna take the chance.

Donald Trump has announced that  he no longer wants to run to become
the next President of the United States, aww! Too bad! I was so enjoying
the absurdity behind it!

Click HERE to read his (just-released) statement!

Any thoughts?

Rejoice!!!

The man was evil in every way!

Osama bin Laden has finally  been killed by US military forces!

According to President Barack Obama…

The leader of al-Qaeda was killed during a  firefight inside a mansion in Abbottabad, Pakistan over the weekend. Okay!! This is fantastic news!!!

Truly is

His death comes almost 10 years after the 2001 9/11 attacks!

Any thoughts on this?

Not one bit.

John Legend had some wise words for Donald Trump last night at the Jazz at Lincoln Center 2011 Annual Gala. He is upset (like many) over Donald’s questioning of Barack Obama‘s nationality.

Here’s what the singer told NY magazine —>

“He needs to stop saying that racist bullshit birther shit. Quote me please. He should be ashamed of himself. It’s awful, really.”

I agree with him.

I’ve got nothing against Donald (actually, he fascinates me)!

But…

I think it’s a lil’ absurd to believe that Barack was not born in the US!
