Our old friend Kim Jong Il weighs in on Japan’s textbooks:
“This betrays philistinism peculiar to Japan, a vulgar and shameless political dwarf,”Â? an unnamed North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said Tuesday, according to KCNA.
And in a turn of events worthy of the Deer Leader’s blog :
North Korea on Wednesday called for regional security talks among Northeast Asian nations but said the United States and Japan should be excluded.
The Illmatic can be pretty emotional, but wait! The commentary continues stating:
Since the United States lies across the Pacific Ocean and Japan is an island separated from the rest of Asia, they have no direct stake in the region’s peace and security…
The Norks have a tendency to ignore Japan in defense matters. Remember that time they did a missile test and [sarcasm] forgot Japan was in the middle of the firing range? [/sarcasm]

"bq"KIM JONG-IL AGREES TO GIVE UP NUKES IN EXCHANGE FOR ANGELINA JOLIE
Bush Blasts Proposal as "ËœIndecent'
In what some hailed as a breakthrough in a long-running diplomatic standoff, North Korean President Kim Jong-Il today agreed to give up his nation's nuclear weapons program in exchange for the actress Angelina Jolie.
Under the terms of the deal, which calls for the transfer of Ms. Jolie to North Korea by summer of 2007, international arms inspectors would have the right to inspect sites in North Korea in exchange for granting President Kim the right to inspect Ms. Jolie.
The accord, which caught many in diplomatic circles by surprise, would unite Ms. Jolie, widely considered the sexiest woman alive, with President Kim, widely considered the craziest man alive, raising the specter that he may be planning to create a race of super-sexy, super-crazy people.
Such concerns may have prompted President George W. Bush to blast the nukes-for-Jolie deal today, calling it "an indecent proposal."Â?
