"Despot Teddy Boy".

So true.

If Elvis wasn't pretending to be dead that is what he would look like.

.....Letterman will have a field day with Jongy - Rodman relationship....

I can see the attraction Rodman had for that crazy Korean hottie. He is only human.

It is going to be interesting to see how this all plays out, becasue as of right now, it makes very little sense.

"Former NBA star Dennis Rodman, following his improbable visit to Pyongyang this week, has become the only Westerner to have had a one-on-one with the reclusive Kim,"

"Even former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, who spent four days in North Korea in January, were unable to arrange a meeting with the country's leader."

This is just . . . . crazy.

Apparently Rodman was in North Korea with some members of the Harlem Globetrotters to film a tv show about a kids basketball camp.

Rodman is almost as cute as Beyonce and would have made for better halftime
entertainment at the Super Bowl that she (Beyonce) did.

I hope the new Kim Young 'Un is maintaining the fine tradition of his father as regards the uniforms of the female soldiers.

We may ridicule North Korea but in reality there are countries in Europe who deserves to be ridiculed even more. Italy and Greece for example. And why not my own country, Sweden, the neoliberal version of North Korea.
With a bona fide clown as Prime Minister. Or the city of Detroit which is now governed by sequestrants.

Hey!

They're saving money on uniform material!

You're right, GB. I can't win this argumentation anyway....

North Korea Experts: Rodman Trip Could Prove Useful

Interesting take on Rodman's trip from some policy wonks in DC.

Here is the money quote:

"Scott Snyder, director of the Program on U.S.-Korea Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, said that American officials were being too coy in soliciting intelligence from Rodman and the others who were on the trip.

“In my view, there’s every reason why the U.S. government would want to understand more about the process and how the trip was handled,” he said. “It’s unlikely that this is going to be considered an act of diplomacy in the end, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its utility.”

According to Snyder, information on the “Kremlinology” of the visit and how the logistics of the trip were handled -- for instance, where the visitors stayed, how they were treated, and who greeted them -- are potentially significant indicators in a country where ritual and protocol are often key to deciphering which officials have the most influence.

Other recent American travelers to North Korea, including Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, may have gotten a small view into the country’s power structure, but they were not privy to what Rodman may have seen and heard during his conversations with Kim.

“Dennis Rodman achieved something that Eric Schmidt did not achieve, so that’s worthy of attention,” Snyder said. “Rodman said that the young leader wanted Obama to call him. It certainly doesn’t mean that peace is going to break out, but it certainly should perk up the ears of responsible officials related to this. Yes, it could be a form of disinformation, but if it is a potential lead, then it needs to be analyzed and understood.”

I think we need a definition of the word "dead".

To borrow from Bill Clinton, it depends on what the meaning of "dead" is...

In any case, I added a citation to the Sharon "vegetative state" quote after VT22 scolded me.

it seems that 'Idiocracy' is coming true.
