Kim Jong Un to Receive New, More Prestigious Title

[bemildred]

WASHINGTON—

North Korea’s historic ruling party congress entered its second day Saturday with leader Kim Jong Un expected to be bestowed a new, more prestigious title.

North Korea’s state-run Korea Central News Agency reported that Saturday’s itinerary includes electing Kim to a new position that will likely put him on an equivalent level with his father and grandfather, who held the title of general-secretary of the Workers’ Party.

Kim currently holds the title of first secretary, and while symbolic, the elevated title is another clear signal to the world that Kim has a firm grasp on power within the country.

1. Well, thank God. It was long overdue. nt

3. I imagine the sweeping powers of the General Secretary will far exceed those he has now.

As First Secretary.


I find it hard not to read this as a sign of insecurity, though the article treats it as consolidation of power.

4. I don't think he's insecure. I think he's a stark, raving paranoid.

5. Oh he's nuts, no question about that.

All the more reason to worry about him feeling insecure. People die when dipshits like him feel insecure. And let's be candid here, he has plenty to feel insecure about.

6. Yep. Paranoids have enemies too.

2. Here's a title for him:

Fat Ass Toad with Bad Haircut.

Or maybe: Chunky Munky with a Brain-dead Barber.

How about: Piece of Shit that Ate North Korea.

I can go on...but I think everybody knows what a zero this piece of shit is.
