#1 "...An army dance ensemble performed a concert featuring numbers such as General on a Galloping White Horse and a female solo, I Do Not Know a Warmer Bosom."

...Ya know, I was going to call this 'creepy' - but 'creepy' would have been an improvement.

#2 "I Do Not Know a Warmer Bosom"

Clearly calls for research.

#3 Everybody loves a parade -- especially if they'll be sent to a gulag for not participating.

#4 ...Childrenâs dance displays, synchronised swimming, fireworks and Kimâs personal touch - flower shows
Presumably the flowers double as half-time snacks.

#5 Couldn't find those exact songs, but, there is this site with MIDIs:

North Korean MIDIs including ones close to the "spirit", however Cognac induced to the birthday offerings, one dealing with "The (Little) General" and the other dealing with horses...:

The Hoofbeats on Mt. Paek-du

(Stolen from an American Western - "The Duke" would be pissed...)

General Kim Jeong-Il

(Self elevated - same modus opperandi as Saddahm before "Whaki Iraqi" began his subterrainian life.)

Found no North Korean music about Bosoms. Pity.

It's fun to hate this guy. If he weren't a mass butcher, he'd be thuroughly entertaining...

#8 Not exactly, tu - way too much fiber in that diet.

#9 Fiber, yes, but the other parts are wheat flour and salt -- both key components in a starvation diet. And, NorK just announced another ration reduction.

#10 "Hello, Mr. Kim, this is George W. Bush. I hear it's your birthday, and I know how much you like nuclear weapons, so I got one for you. . . . Yeah, it's one of them new bunker-busters. . . . I'm having it delivered right to your front door. . . ."

#11 Serve any "long pigs/cows" ala SOLYENT GREEN, or is the good stuff reserved, as usual, for the Norkies fav national predator!? Socialist and Commie Utopia > happiness is a PC well-regulated slave who doesn't know or believe he's a slave - his wine, wealth, lands, identity, women and pet dog, each any and all, jointly andor severally, belongs to the State, and second to the Red Army, even his kimchee!

#12 The Korean peoples fought hard to protect themselves from the Ming, Mongols, Manchus, and invading Japanese samurai armies under Hideoyoshi-Ieyasu, ...etc only to end up in the Cold War with Commies who proclaim Korean unity and sovereignty but covertly take orders from Moscow and Beijing, AND STILL DO EVEN AS THEY AND THEIR CHILDREN STARVE UNTO SELF-OBLIVION.

#13 The North Korean common people have been digging up the recently dead, and killing the recently born, because there is nothing else for them to eat. The new announcement that the food ration will be cut again will just aggravate that particular behaviour. One way or another, the situation there needs to be fixed very soon.
