Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to frighten the children

But on the other hand, if the little perishers are playing up then just show them a photo of 'The Glorious Leader', that will soon put an end to their mischief.

Anyway, this is a sort of Good News/Bad News story.  The Good News is that Fat Boy Kim might, just might, be on the way out.  Hopefully, an enormous amount of blood, his blood, will be spilled in the process.  According to Mr. Thomas Lifson at The American Thinker there has been a bit of an upsurge in North Korean officials 'doing a runner' to the nearest safe haven.  The latest is a high ranking officer in Fat Boy Kim's elite Special Operations Force who, one would suppose, lives a fairly safe and prosperous life inside the regime.

But the squeeze is not just from the bottom up.  Apparently, the Chinese are losing patience with Fat Boy and are applying real pressure from on high.

China recently embargoed North Korean coal exports to its power stations, the major source of foreign currency for the regime other than counterfeiting and drug dealing (in part via diplomatic pouches).

'Flingers clossed' and all that sort of thing . . .

"a high ranking officer in Fat Boy Kim's elite Special Operations Force"
I would imagine that means he is either a chef or a pimp.

I wonder, Whiters, if FBK is a fan?

Six months re-education for you, 'W'!

Whitewall, I reckon even China are reluctant to invade N Korea and find the horror they have propped up for decades. But they must have an idea!

Jimmy I'll bet China has some of the same thing within its borders.

Whitewall, agreed but they do not put people with a bird nest hair job on the media.
