The Un

The Dear Leader, who got his job from dad, the Great Leader, is set to pass down the key to the executive washroom to Kim Jong-un:

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has signaled the anointment of his youngest son as heir to the ruling family dynasty as the rival Koreas bolstered their militaries along a disputed sea border on Tuesday.


One theory is that the current crisis has been provoked by Kim Jong-il to lessen opposition to putting his 25-year old son in line.

Given the state of North Korea's economy and society, I think we can settle on this third generation's popular name of The Un, following "Great" and "Dear." Kim Jong-un will be called "Leader Strung By His Heels by People from Lamp Post" in the history books.

Congratulations Jong-un!
