#1 From yesterday:

We do not know such a word as "defection".

You might want to have Kimmie invent one then, and most chop-chop.

#3 This may be another round of purges and the younger O wanted to avoid a dirt nap. I donât think the Norks have a retirement plan for anybody unless they are ready for burial. At first I thought this was the son of O Chin U, and that would have been a HUGE defection. This guy is the son of a ârevolutionary heroâ who lost the struggle for the top military job. That makes the son an adversary and if he has no political power, he probably wouldnât survive if his father is no longer of this world. Given that reality, it would be smart to grab a boat and head for the nearest U.S. base.

#5 It was a speedboat, Shipman, and I wanted to say, "Evinrude, don't fail me now." My best guess that the speedboat was an inboard motor. So that is the basis of my statement.

#6 Oh, whose 73-year-old father, Gen. Oh Keuk-Ryul, is was head of the operations department of the Korea Workersâ Party

#7 My best guess that the speedboat was an inboard motor.

Still in that case you could have said "OMC inboard don't fail me now". But you didn't. You can see why I'm suspicious.

#8 North Korea loses a brigadier general; America gains a small business.

#9 Time to leave a'fore the Party turns you and the kiddies into PC Meats for the masses, ala SOLYENT GREEN. It may no longer be cats, dogs, monkeys, assorted birds, andor insects, etc. in your NK Commie Socialist kimchee and stews. Since Bill Clinton hates California-based BIG BOY restaurant burgers/food, as oppos to the USA, lets ask the NorKors to send Billary some proper NK cuisine and see if they'll eat it, and lets ask CASTRO to send over some CUBAN salsa!? AFter all. famine/hunger-struck NK cadavers > just "LONG PIGS/COWS", as 1930 headhunters from New Guinea used to say.

#11 GUYS like you? I do not resemble that remark.

Mass muttering.
