This is my tribute to the insane, belligerent, dwarf-like dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-il, who has been firing off his rockets again lately. I wonder sometimes what life must be like in North Korea...some posit that the citizens there are perfectly happy and fiercely patriotic of Dear Leader and country, mostly because they are completely and utterly isolated from the rest of intelligent life on the planet. Who knows. This may indeed be the case.
Watching Tv today there was a commercial with the guy that runs "Monster Garage" or whatever that program is...Jesse whatshisname. He builds choppers first and foremost, but he also builds these ridiculously outrageous mechanical contraptions that start out life as cars. So he is over in Iraq to entertain the troop gearheads. He said something that made me laugh: "I'll bet you $100 that an Iraqi car has never pulled a wheelie in the entire history of Iraq."...and I thought, so true. That's about as certain a statement as saying the sun will rise in the sky tomorrow morning. I wonder what passes for fun in Iraq...
And I wondered, are Iraqis really missing out in life? If they could fathom what they are missing...NBA basketball, Formula One, Epcot Center, Typhoon Lagoon, the Metroplitan Museum of Art, the Stage Deli in Manhattan, the joys of Netflix and dual tuner DVRs, Yellowstone National Park, Stony Creek Park, Whistler Mountain British Columbia, cheap, good, plentiful beer, the joys of mountain biking, snowmobiling, skiing, libraries filled with books spanning from the beginning of time, Apple computers, plentiful pornographic material...if they actually experienced what the West has to offer, would they go back to their old-tyme ways. We are truly a sedentary society that loves our leisure time. God bless America dammit.
