Like Flies

Well, the second-craziest despot to rule a third-world autocracy has become the newest member in Ozymandias' Infernal Big Band. That is, he's dead. Neither will he be missed, nor will anyone hesitate to celebrate his demotion to mere worm-meal as Jong-Il's death is unencumbered by gruesome criminal circumstance. Good ol' fashioned natural causes as opposed to, say, occupational hazard.

That being said, given that no one has the slightest notion what North Korea's contingency plan was once Dear Leader slipped this mortal coil, I'm suddenly very happy to be exiting the Orient for the next few weeks...

Yet another flyjin abandoning the region in its time of need. I guess all that talk of wanting to be minister of propaganda was just talk?

Oh, that is a low blow、you son of a gun. Give me a break, man, you know I'm coming back. I've got shit to do here! And given that North Korea doesn't have the electricity to keep Pyongyang's streetlights lit, it'd be a fucking miracle if they had the rocket fuel to heft a warhead all the way across the Sea of Japan.
