North Korea’s Next Supreme Leader… His Son.

Today’s big news coming out of South Korean intelligence circles is North Korea’s Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-II, decision to appoint his youngest son, Kim Jong-Un, to a post in the ruling communist party. Yes, you guess it, Mr. Kim Jong-Un is expected to take over some time between 2010 and 2012 from his ailing father…

If only the Supreme Leader would give me more notice, I’d plan a parade or something… Nothing too big or lavish… After all, we need to save ourselves for the official party in 2010 or 2012…

To celebrate today’s news, I offer some excerpts from Canadian graphic novelist Guy Delisle, “Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea”. His work experiences as an animator has brought him to the most dangerous and remote places in the world, Burma, Shenzhen, China and Pyongyang, North Korea. Its a fantastic read. Pick one up. I promise you won’t be disappointed… Check out Delisle’s website http://www.guydelisle.com/
