Kiss My Aphorism
Published December 31, 2003
If coming up with a good millennial sound bite were a criterion for leadership, North Korea's Kim Jong-Il would be much less a psycho sack of totalitarian-communist shit than he is:
- Computer technology has been given top priority in North Korea, with the eldest son of the country's ruler leading the campaign to bring the military into the hi-tech age, a defector claims.
North Korea's supremo Kim Jong-Il, who is known to be well versed in computers and enjoys web surfing, has issued a special directive to elevate the information technology (IT) sector in the impoverished communist state to the level of strategic industry, said defector Tak Eun-Hyuk.
....Computer lessons only began in schools around 1994 and only a limited number of privileged North Koreans have access to Internet links with the outside world.
"Kim Jong-Il said in 2000 that there were three kinds of fools in the 21st century — those who are blind to computers, those who still smoke and those who don't appreciate music," Tak said [AFP]

Well put, but it appears original. As they say, "Hitler and Stalin were very good ..... blah blah, and there was very little street crime under Saddam." None of it means they shouldn't have been smothered in their cribs.
More quotes for your personal edification. "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Or.. kiss my sphincter."
Little Kim is clearly a case of not being breast fed long enough.

Aw man, can't he please be plagiarizing that line? I so don't want to have anything positive to say about that creep.
