I love fragrances and have for 50+ years and I promise you, male or female that this is loved by all I give it to. It is wonderful in every way! Your system has to be very strange for it not to work for you. There is nothing more wonderful that a wonder smelling man to us women unless it is a delicious smelling woman for you men. One of the best! Top notes are grapefruit and Calabrian bergamot mixed with spicy aromatic crimean coriander. The heart of the composition develops with the extremely sexy Tuscan Iris mixes with the warm trail wood in the base. There's warm cedar with soft amber that shows the strength. Wonderful!!!!!!

To wit, someone asked, the vice president of what company? For me it was an off night at the theater. I don't want my money back. Are you listening Scott Rudin? I'd like a ticket to see it again. Maybe those 25 others would too.
As Republican pressure grows on a beleaguered president to become even more militarily assertive on a range of global issues from the Ukraine to the Levant, we all need to ask ourselves a few questions.
This is a globally disturbing historic moment when misguided Muslim extremists are murdering untold numbers of Christians, Muslims and anyone else they encounter and pitting the faiths against each other. It is at such moments that the world's peacemakers, like Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, are needed more than ever.
Has the man who designed this costume never seen female genitalia? Lady parts don't look like French fries. They're not supposed to be juxtaposed with French fries. They're not supposed to ever, ever make anyone think, "French fries." Ever.
Vice President Joe Biden got the tongues furiously wagging again after a recent meeting with black ministers in South Carolina.
But why is there such tolerance in high levels of government for alcohol and such admonition for other substances resoundingly less harmful?
Vice President Biden and his son's response should be to join the millions of people who are challenging the ignorance and irrationality of locking up hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens because of a nonviolent drug offense.
No matter how politically incorrect Biden -- the working class Joe from Scranton, Pa. -- has been, his mouth, in fact, is his strongest tie to the average American, who can relate not only to what he says, but to how he says it.
In Christie's world, taxpayers cannot afford $7.5 million for women's reproductive health care. But these same taxpayers are on the hook for the $7 million bill of his Bridgegate defense lawyers, who charge $350 an hour.
Congress followed up their recent five-week vacation with almost two whole weeks of actually doing their jobs, so to reward themselves they're now going to take off on another vacation. Until mid-November.
For many, the name, Shylock, conjures all the vicious lies, caricatures and tropes of Jews that pervaded Europe for centuries. It reminds Jews like me that there are hatemongers out there who truly believe that we Jews control international finance.
By invoking Shylock, the villain of The Merchant of Venice, Biden trafficked in one of the most insidious stereotypes about Jews, that the people of the book are unethical money lenders.
In 2008, as you'll recall, the overwhelming frontrunner finished third in Iowa behind Barack Obama and John Edwards. She ended up just a weekend of furious Bill Clinton campaigning in New Hampshire away from being stampeded from the race at its very beginning.
Maybe what victims really need is support and understanding from the media and the public, and some accountability and transparency from the legal system.
This brings me to another World War II veteran, another woman, and the oldest living female California World War II veteran, Bea Cohen, now 104.
As the Ilinois governor's race marches ever closer to the November election, both candidates have nine weeks of hard campaigning ahead of them.

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's as good as they're going to feel all day." -Dean Martin
Here's mine. It tasted great, though I think it was slightly better before the second microwaving. That seemed to dry it out a little more than I'd have wanted, but it was fun and easy to make, and I'll definitely do it again.
I also made some duck prosciutto (from Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing) ...
...and I thought they'd go well together on a sourdough pizza.
Danek, that looks so good! We are now getting 1.5 gallons of fresh (unpasteurized) goat's milk a week. I'll make some chevre today, and mozzarella next weekend, maybe cheddar the following week.
Thanks for all of the pictures, Superiorbrew, wherever you are!
Is this the procedure?

Doctor Sleep
A Novel
From Library Staff
The now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) must save a very special twelve-year-old girl from a tribe of murderous paranormals. Stephen King at his riveting best!

I have read and re-read The Shining so many times, it is by far my favorite King story, so I was hesitant to read this but also dying to read it too. Needless to say King did not disappoint in the least. More of a thriller twist on the abilities of Danny then the true horror of the first book, it is still a fascinating read to see where he ended up. How his life progressed after the terrifying events at the Overlook, and the residual effects of his father on his adult life. King was not re-writing the original, merely writing a progression - so no, not the 'hid the book under your mattress' level of terror of the first one but a thrilling and entertaining look at the after effects of that terror. Definitely worth the read, but do so with a grain of salt....
I recently read through both The Shining and Doctor Sleep. I watched the movie adaptation of The Shining too. I gotta say, the movie was NOT scary. The novel The Shining was so much more terrifying (e.g. the hedge animals scene especially). However, the book was difficult to read because King was overly descriptive (not my style). The sequel- Doctor Sleep was AMAZING. I loved how King expanded on Dan's character. Abra was a nice addition. The ending made sense as things came together. Less scary than The Shining (novel), but an entertaining thriller nonetheless. I would totally recommend reading Doctor Sleep.
A good thriller but nowhere near what King is capable of
Really enjoyed reading about what happened to Danny from the Shining.
Excellent read. Page turner to stay up late to finish. Not so impressed with Mr. Mercedes though.
A patron review from the Adult Summer Game: "This is a sequel to 'The Shining' but could be read on its own. It follows the little boy from The Shining who is now an adult who could possibly save a 12 year old girl. Pretty spooky in parts- great antagonist."
Classic King.
Not his best book. It seemed that Rose the Hat and her followers were going to fail from the get go. There is no real battle here, only some kind of execution. A bit disappointing. It's like King wanted to make a follow up to the Shining, but didn't have the guts to really produce a stuning sequel. I feel that the result is kind of mushy. Maybe because there were to much characters to take care of.
Good read, keeps you on the edge of your seat, and most of all I love the fact that we finally get a glimpse of what happened to Danny Torrance. :)
Suspenseful, funny, sad, and full of all the good stuff that I know King has to offer. There were many references to The Shining so it's important to remember some of the characters from Shining, as they come up again in this book (bathtub lady, Dewar, etc). I always wondered what happened to little Danny and this book answers that. Sure, it was horrific what the True Knot did to those kids... but I certainly did not feel that he elaborated on this too much. What about Gage in "Pet Sematary"?? That was horrific beyond belief to read. Anyway, I immensely enjoyed reading this book, and as a true Stephen King fan, I think this was one of the better ones I read lately. Koontz "The Taking"??? It was good but the ending was ridiculous!!

Henry justifies high-risk strategy
August 1, 2009
Graham Henry has justified his side's expansive gameplan © Getty Images
All Blacks coach Graham Henry has fought to justify his side's expansive game-plan after a second consecutive Tri-Nations defeat to South Africa.
Henry's men went down 31-19 to the Springboks, being mercilessly punished by fly-half Morne Steyn. The Bulls pivot broke the Tri-Nations scoring record by landing all of the home side's points, slotting eight penalties conceded by the frantic All Blacks.
While losing the breakdown battle to Heinrich Brussow and the Springbok back-row, the All Blacks were forced to counter from deep inside their own territory with little success.
"The guys were trying to play the right style of football against this particular team," Henry said. "It's just that it's high risk, some of it. It's difficult when you're living off crumbs. When you're chasing your tail and you haven't got a lot of ball to play with, you push it. If we'd nailed a couple of the opportunities, it may turned the game around a wee bit for us."
Attack coach Wayne Smith said reverting to a kicking based game mid-test wouldn't have solved the All Blacks' problems.
"You kick long against this team and it relieves the pressure for about five seconds, two seconds maybe. Then it's coming back at you in the air with great chasers after it," Smith said. "We were slightly off with some of our decision-making and slightly off with some of our execution. We weren't that far away but far enough for us not to be in the game at the end."
South Africa coach Peter De Villiers was surprised that the All Blacks persisted with their high-risk game, which was also hindered by slippery conditions at Kings Park. The Springboks face Australia in Cape Town next weekend, and their coach is taking nothing for granted.
"That's the New Zealand way of playing the game, they try to put you under pressure at first phase, which they couldn't manage to do," De Villiers said. "But they tried to run the ball from there. They're a very good second phase team but they didn't have that space to play in.
"There are still four (Tri-Nations) games to be played. We're not as great as we think we should be. The platform is there, we know where to work from. We're so organised and we trust each other so much at the moment that the input of everybody plays a big role in this team."

can I use metal sharpening rod to sharpen Felco shears?
Lynn NevinsOctober 27, 2012
I just went online, and it says to use a sharpening stone to sharpen Felco shears. I don't have a sharpening stone, but I do have a metal sharpening rod that I use for kitchen knives. Could I use that or must I really get a stone?
Sharpening anything is more technique than anything else. I have an assortment of tools and it depends on how bad of shape the tool is in as to what tool I use. In some cases I will glue very fine high quality sandpaper to a shape I want to use, but be careful, you can ruin an edge quicker than you can repair one.

The business is called Allele Fund. It';s motto is: We will serve you with integrity in all we do."

Scottish independence gets the Taiwan animation treatment, Jimmy
WHO wants independence for Scotland? Mel Gibson, that's who. And he's a Celtic fan. Scottish First Minister and SNP leader Alex Salmond and UK Prime Minister David Cameron are debating over a referendum on independence of Scotland. Salmond wants to be a leader of a free land (surely famous, of historial importance and powerful? -ed) and Cameron wants the thing decided quickly.
(The referendum is pencilled in for 2014 – 707 years after Mel Gibson's death!)
Salmond recently declared his intention to hold a referendum in the fall of 2014. That's when Tory austerity cuts are expected to hit Scotland hard, while Scottish national pride gets a boost from the Ryder Cup, Commonwealth Games and the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn, when the Scots under Robert Bruce scored a decisive victory over the English in the First War of Scottish Independence.
Cameron, whose Conservative Party has only one Scottish MP in Westminster, is supported in his desire to hold a referendum before 2014 by Liberal Party leader Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband. Westminster maintains that only the British Parliament has the legal power to hold a valid referendum on Scotland's future.

Lady Garden is an actual person and she hates cyber bullying
NOMINATIVE Determinism Watch detects Lady Garden. Yep, Lady Garden is an actual person:
By Nicholas Randall, Press Association Political Staff:
Liberal Democrat Lord Storey, head of a primary school in Liverpool, said it was easy for under-age children to set up accounts on social networking sites and use them without permission from parents and teachers. He told Government spokeswoman Baroness Garden of Frognal at question time in the House of Lords: "You will be aware of the hugely increasing problem of cyber bullying by and of children and young people, particularly in schools."… Lady Garden said the Government was "committed to tackling bullying on social networking sites" and would be prepared to hold meetings on the issue. She added: "The Government is pressing the internet industry in the UK and Europe to implement clear and simple processes for dealing with abuse online."

David Cameron get Jeremy Clarkson Tourette's
ANYONE else suspect that David Cameron sees Jeremy Clarkson's schtick of saying mildly offensive non-PC things in a loud voice as a way of reaching the people who perceive a loss of free speech in modern life and reassuring them that he understands?
In an interview with the Telegraph, Cameron said of shadow chancellor Ed Ball's appearances in the House of Commons:
"But I'm very bad, in the House of Commons, at not getting distracted, and the endless, ceaseless banter, it's like having someone with Tourette's permanently sitting opposite you."
Cameron is talking to the Tory voters who might think he's soft. His words are not accidental. They echo the studied offence of Clarkson, who aims to be the voice for the man blessed with common sense who sees through the PC bullshit. David Cameron has contracted Jeremy Clarkson Tourette's, a strain of the illness that causes the victim to say non-PC things to a deadline.

Is Ron Paul damned by his racist homophobic newsletters?
RON Paul, the Congressman seeking the Republican nomination for president says:
"Look at the percentages," he said. "The percentage of people who use [illegal] drugs are about the same with blacks and whites, and yet blacks are arrested way disproportionately. They're prosecuted and imprisoned way disproportionately. They get the death penalty way disproportionately. How many times have you seen a white rich person get the electric chair?" Those truly concerned about racism, he said, should "look at the drug laws which are being so unfairly enforced."
True enough. Racism is engrained.
But is Ron Paul an anti-racist or is he just pointing out the inequalities?
In 2008, The New Republic researched Ron Paul's newsletters. Titles like Ron Paul's Freedom Report, Ron Paul Political Report, The Ron Paul Survival Report might not ahve been written by Paul but they carried his name on teh masthead.
The Freedom Report's online archives only go back to 1999, but I was curious to see older editions of Paul's newsletters, in part because of a controversy dating to 1996, when Charles "Lefty" Morris, a Democrat running against Paul for a House seat, released excerpts stating that "opinion polls consistently show only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions," that "if you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be," and that black representative Barbara Jordan is "the archetypical half-educated victimologist" whose "race and sex protect her from criticism." At the time, Paul's campaign said that Morris had quoted the newsletter out of context. Later, in 2001, Paul would claim that someone else had written the controversial passages. (Few of the newsletters contain actual bylines.) Caldwell, writing in the Times Magazine last year, said he found Paul's explanation believable, "since the style diverges widely from his own."

Vladimir Putin exposed over fake photo to discredit Aleksey Navalny
PUBLISHERS loyal to Vladmir Putin's All-Russia People's Front have produced a photo of Russian anti-corruption blogger Aleksey Navalny stood by a smiling Boris Berezovsky. Vladimir Putin hates the exiled Berezovsky. He is also no fan of Mr Navalny. The picture in the newspaper created in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg carries the caption "never hidden". The claim is that Berezovsky is behind Navalny's fight against Putin's re-election as Russian President in March.

Ed Miliband salutes Bob Holness's work on 'Blackbusters'
BOB Holness has died. The presenter of TV's Blockbusters has completed his last Gold Run. In the desire to look in touch and go-ahead, Ed Miliband, the Labour leader (yes, really) gets on twitter and thanks Bob Holness for his work on "Blackbusters".
Diane Abbott may care to print Ed's tweet and frame it on her office wall.
Bob, can we have an 'o', please, for Blackbusters fan Ed Miliband… (Some on twitter are already hoping he gets 'sucked' for this…)

The elite use Diane Abbott racist comments to divide and conquer the white working class
DIANE Abbott MP says white people "love to play divide and rule". Abbott says this on twitter dying a chat with freelance journalist Bim Adewunmi about black teenager Stephen Lawrence and his racist murderers Gary Dobson, David Norris and whoever else still to be brought to book. She say whites are using a "tactic as old as colonialism". Is this because black people were always united? Or is it because white people are all racists? The media and her enemies says Diane Abbott needs to explain. Outraged of twitter – that place where fair-minded, right-minded people demand that Emma West be raped and murdered – sense a new target for their hate and intolerance.
(Just as you wonder how worse it can get for Abbott, George #Galloway says on twitter: "Diane has been my friend for 25 years." Ouch!)
Abbott say her comment has been "taken out of context".
Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi says the context is that Abbott is a bigot:
"A healthy society should not tolerate any form of racism. DAbott should apologise and resign or EdM must sack her. DAbbott of all people should lead by example. Must resign."
For what? She should resign as an MP for saying what she thinks? And was it racist? Do whites feel threatened?

Rupert Murdoch shows Twitter support to anti-gay marriage Rick Santorum
TWITTER has gained a Rick Santorum fan named Rupert Murdoch, leaving many to deduce that he's going to try and buy it. Yeah. He did an incredible job with MySpace didn't he?
Either way, he's been spouting off like the rest of us… however, Murdoch has already been offending everybody. In his short time online, he's already slagged off the whole of the UK, slighted Glenn Beck and, perhaps worst of all, shown his support for an American presidential hopeful who wants to nullify all existing gay marriages.
Murdoch said of Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who is surging in Iowa polls, Murdoch tweeted Monday night: "Can't resist this tweet, but all Iowans think about Rick Santorum. Only candidate with genuine big vision for country." On Sunday he tweeted: "Good to see Santorum surging in Iowa. Regardless of policies, all debates showed principles, consistency and humility like no other."

Kim Jong Un leads North Korea into 'Socialist fairylands'
WHAT news of socialism and North Korea, now under the rainbow of Kim Jong Un?
North Korea vowed Sunday to stage an all-out drive for prosperity as it unites behind new leader Kim Jong Un, ushering in 2012 with promises to resolve food shortages, bolster its military and defend Kim Jong Il's young son "unto death" …
North Korea said it would boost its military, and boasted that it was "at the epochal point of opening the gates of a thriving country," with parts of Pyongyang "turned into socialist fairylands."

Kim Jong Bow was there to see North Korea's former leader Kim Jong-il ascend to Heaven in a 1976 Lincoln Convertible.

Margaret Thatcher loved Liverpool because the official records say she did
MARGARET Thatchers's Cabinet contemplated allowing the post Toxteth riots Liverpool to fester and die. She rejected it. Indeed, Mrs Thatcher detailed Environment Secretary Michael Heseltine to Liverpool as Minister for Merseyside. He would head a drive to pump money into the city.
Delroy Burroughs, a "Community Leader" in Toxteth tells the BBC that the report "exonerated his community".
It doesn't. The papers revealed under the 30 Year Rule just tell us what discussions were worthy of note.
What's also revealed it that Thatcher and her Cabinet talked about the Riot Act. The then Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir David McNee, offered the Riot Act as an option when Thatcher visited Scotland Yard and Brixton police station after the Toxteth riots that had followed the riots in Brixton and Bristol.
The Times notes:
He argued that the best way to keep control was by introducing the power to arrest anyone who was on the streets after a state of riot had been declared by a magistrate. The Riot Act, introduced in 1714, fell into abeyance in the 20th century and was repealed in 1967… Warning of a state of riot could be announced by loud hailer, and arrangements could be made to ensure that a magistrate was always on call,"
It's the kind of idiocy you expects from the Met, who fail to listen. When people who want to smash things riot, the police's big idea is to give them a real grievance and be the willing cudgel for the draconian state that see freedoms as luxuries to remove at will.

Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher refused free ironing board
MARGARET Thatcher, currently appearing as Meryl Streep in the cinemas, was once, according to papers released by the national archives, embroiled in a row over the No 10 ironing board. The iron lady was the ironing lady.
To make Downing Street ready for Mrs Thatcher's moving in, the public purse invested £1,836 in a sprucing up, including £464 on bedding, "replacement crockery" for £209 and £19 for an ironing board.
Nick Sanders, Mrs Thatcher's private secretary, was unimpressed. He wrote to Whitehall mandarins:
"This must not happen again. It is all too likely that such information will be picked up and used against the Prime Minister at question time."
Maggie wrote:
"I will pay for the ironing board."

Kim Jong Un turns South Korea into a 'sea of revengeful fire'
KIM Jong-il is dead. Men are weeping blood. Women are wailing. Housing estates have dimmed their lights. But fear ye not, North Korea might have stopped for Kim Jong-il's Princess Diana-themed funeral, but South Korea was wise not to use the opening to launch an attack. Kim Jong Un is more than ready. The Rhetoric Machine has been turned up to 11 and all is as it ever was.
The female announcer on North Korea's TV stayion tells one and all, on behalf of the National Defence Commission:
"On this occasion, we solemnly declare with confidence that foolish politicians around the world, including the puppet forces in South Korea, should not expect any changes from us."
"The sea of bloody tears from our military and people will follow the puppet regime until the end. The tears will turn into a sea of revengeful fire that burns everything."

Margaret Thatcher urged 'abandon Liverpool to managed decline'
DID Margaret Thatcher like Liverpool? Those around her didn't. In the wake of the Toxteth Riots, Margaret Thatcher was secretly urged to abandon Liverpool to a fate of "managed decline", according to official papers made public for the first time today. Senior ministers in Thatcher's Conservative government urged her not to waste public money on the "stony ground" of Merseyside, suggesting it would be like "trying to make water flow uphill".
The riots in Toxteth followed the year's earlier Brixton riots. Lord Scarman's reports attributed their cause to "complex political, social and economic factors" leading to "disposition towards violent protest".
Not all of Thatcher's children benefitted from the free market and the booming City.

Sarah Palin – You Betcha: Inside the Palins' Assemblies of God church
SARAH Palin… Do you belive in her? What does Sarah Palin believe in? Nick Broomfield's Sarah Palin – You Betcha! investigates life inside Palin's Assemblies of God church.
Near the start of the programme, Palin's parents explain to Broomfield that the family had left Roman Catholicism and been re-baptised into the Assemblies of God while Sarah was a child. The reason they did this is not given (and Broomfield doesn't ask), although it seems likely that social pressure played a role: in Alexandria, Egypt, a former classmate named Yvonne Bashelier claimed that Palin and her friends have a "spiritual bond" through the Assemblies of God:
To go against Sarah would be to go against your church, whether you agree with her or not, and going against your church and your community is a pretty powerful thing…
As for non-evangelicals:
A lot of it was unspoken pressure. You just got left out of the group. People wouldn't speak to you, Sarah would encourage other people not to talk to you.

Aidan Burley joins the Daily Mail's Nazi party
GOOD to see that the Daily Mail had learnt from its past mistakes, exposing Tory MP Aidan Burley for being at Stag do in France where the looming groom was dressed up as a Nazi and the toff-faced "louts" chanted "Hitler, Hitler, Hitler" and similar things. The Mail realises that such things are wrong. It slammed Prince Harry's "crashing insensitivity" wearing a Nazi armband to a fancy dress party.
The Mail has eschewed Nazi japes ever since it cheered on the Black Shirts with hearty "Hurrah!" in the 1930s and had Lord Rothmere, the paper's owner, write in 1933: "The minor misdeeds of individual Nazis would be submerged by the immense benefits the new regime is already bestowing on Germany."

Says a Baik Keun-shik:
"I have been living here, a coal mine village, for about 50 years, but I have never seen a thing like this."
Ri Yon-souk agrees:
"It's not just a strange natural phenomenon. It means our 'Dear Leader' was a born great man, so nature as well as all the people around the world cannot forget him, we can feel his existence in our warm heart."

Sleeping Kim Jong il is laid out like a fairytale princess
KIM Jong il is dead. His body has been put on display in glass box. Given that this is Christmas time, you can't help thinking Kim's mourners in North Korea and China are waiting for a Prince to ride in and give the leader an awakening kiss, like in the fairytale pantomime.
Prince Harry could do much to improve the West's relations with North Korea if he can muster the courage to plant a smacker on Kim's lips. Of course, if Prince Harry breaks the glass, kisses Kim il Jong and then the despot fails to awaken there will be a nuclear war and Harry will look gay and weird. But them's the risks. Peace in Neverland was never achieved at no cost.

Korean News salutes wise comic book fan Kim Jong Un
KIM Jong Un is Now no.1 leader supreme in all of North Korea. To him the Kim Jong il Otter Hat of power and the chance to spend the rest of his life looking at orgasmic flats (you need to see this) and stuff.
Anorak has gotten hold of the last photos of Kim Jong il looking at stuff. And while you enjoy those, you can read a few words from the Korean News Agency on the passing of a living double rainbow:
Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, passed away from a great mental and physical strain at 08:30 December 17, 2011, on train during a field guidance tour
The North Koreans pushing that train are grieving hard for the "tender-hearted father of the people" with whom he shared "weal and woe".
They are weeping bitterly out of self-reproach and regret that they failed to keep Kim Jong Il in good health despite the behests of the President.

12 Crazy facts about Kim Jong il
KIM Jong il has died. North Korea mourns. And we wonder what the man was really like. Here are 12 crazy facts about Kim Jong il:
Kim Jong il was a superhero
North Korean legend has it that Kim Jong Il was born in a secret place by North Korea's most sacred mountain, Mt. Paekdu (aka Baekdu mountain). At the moment of his birth, a double rainbow appeared and a new bright star shone in the heavens. Either that or he was born in Siberia in 1941 when his father, Kim Il-sung, leader of a "patriot and revolutionary family" was in exile in the former Soviet Union in 1942.
Kim Jong il can control the weather
According to the book by Chol-hwan Kang and Pierre Rigoulot (2005). The Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten Years in the North Korean Gulag, Kim control the weather. (see rainbow and star) Basic Books. ISBN 0-465-01104-7
Kim legalised drugs and gave them out for free
Kim was once addicted to painkillers. Sot hat he would not enjoy the experience alone, he allowed (surely ordered? – ed) his staff to inject themselves with painkillers so they too would experience the joy of addiction.
Kim Jong il was shortist
Kim Jong il issued pamphlets advertising growth drugs. Small people would take the bait and be whisked away to live in splendid isolation on previously "uninhabited islands". Critics say Kim Jong il was trying to kill off the shorties. But others go with the theory that Kim understood their pain and wanted the shorts to live without being looked down on by tallies – literally.
Kim Jong il understood disability
In readiness for the World Festival of Youth and Students in 1989, Kim deported disabled people from Pyongyang. Once more, Kim understood suffering. He knew that watching the able bodied running and jumping would be unbearable for the disabled. so he sent them to live in splendid isolation. And all was normal.
Kim Jong il loved Hennessy
Kim Jong Il was Hennessy customer No.1. Dr. Jerold Post said Kim invested $600,000 to $850,000 annually on the amber nectar. . He is partial to the Paradis cognac, which can sell for over $700 per bottle. In comparison, the average North Korean makes about $1000 per year.
Kim Jong il created the world's best run city
Kijong-Dong is a wonderful place on the border with South Korea. There is no poverty. No crime. No traffic jams. No blackouts. No residents. But there is a 300lb North Korean flag, visible from much of South Korea.
Kim Jong il ran a waterpark
Images of Kim Jong-Il's mansions reveals a supreme slide of freedom. Everyone gets a go. It's Communism, people. just need to wait until Kim has finished.
Kim Jong il loved train travel
Was Ki Jong il afraid of flying – or was he just afraid of flying in North Korean planes? In any case he loved to move about in armoured trains. And the North Koreans were happy as larry to push and pull him along (see pedestrian motorways of North Korea).
Kim Jong il was the world's best golfer
It was 1994 when Kim Jong Il shot an impressive 38 under par, including 11 holes in one. It was golf. Hey, it was crazy golf. Happily, while envious foreign media ignore Tiger Kim, local media were there to record the action as fact
Kim Jong il loved the movies
So keen was Kim to make a Godzilla movie that he kidnapped South Korean director Shin Sang-ok and his wife Choi Eun Hee and encouraged them to make Pulgasari. Shjooting took Shin on location to Austria, from where they escaped.
Kim Jong il loved The Omen
Did Kim kill his younger brother Kim Shu-ra? Did Kim casue Kim to drown in the family's swimming pool when he was five?
Kim Jon il invented the sandwich
North Korean newspaper Minju Joson heralded Kim's invention of the Kimwich – a delicious invention of "double bread with meat". Any meat would do. Rat. Dog. Mum…

KIM Jong Il, leader of North Korea, is dead. Kim Jong il died from "fatigue" while riding a train. The North Koreans pulling and pushing said train are reported to be suicidal with grief.

Kim Jong-il dies of physical fatigue – a North Korean life in photos
RIP North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. You were a terrific puppet made flesh and bone. You were the star of Where's Kim? You ate live fish. You were shortist:,
In preparation for the World Festival of Youth and Students in 1989, Kim Jong Il had disabled residents removed from Pyongyang. The government also distributed pamphlets advertising a wonder drug that would increase the height of short people.
How did Kim Jong-il die? North Korea's state broadcaster says Leader No. 1 died from "physical fatigue" while traveling on a train. The North Koreans pushing the train are inconsolable with grief.
Kim's son, the generously built Kim Jon-un (left), is unlikely to work so hard for the good of his nation's pomade industries. But he will make a bigger target in his otter skin hat….
