Tuesday Morning Monologue - December 20, 2011

Is it Tuesday? Not right now, actually, because it's Monday when I'm writing this. Yes, I write these the night before. Which is why Monday's blog made no mention of Kim Jong-il's passing. That will be rectified today. Oh yes. Let's do it.

Kim Jong-il passed away late Sunday night, taking his strongest stance yet against nuclear disarmament negotiations.

North Koreans mourned the death of Kim Jong-il across the country on Monday, or they got shot.

With all that grieving, North Korean mourners could be expected to put on some extra weight this winter, or they would if there was any food in the country.

This is especially bad news for the North Korean film industry. Without Jong-il's leadership, it's unlikely anyone is going to step up, find the next generation of gifted filmmakers, and kidnap them.

Leadership of the little dictatorship passed to Kim Jong-il's son, Kim Jong-un. Is there any chance that "un" in Korean means "not nearly as crazy as?" Or does it just mean that he's caffeine-free and flavored with lemon and lime?

Feel better now? Okay.

Back in America, Sarah Palin reminded America that it's not too late for someone to get into the presidential race. Did she just threaten us?

Due to mounting legal pressure, AT&T dropped it's bid to buy T-Mobile. Then, just for good measure, AT&T went ahead and dropped thousands of calls.

And finally, MTV said they would be bringing back their long-cancelled practical joke show Punk'd. That's a joke, right?

And that's the end. Until it starts again. In the meantime, be good to yourselves, and each other.
