Dear Lede-er

There must be a special school where Communist spokesmen go to learn just the right blend of hysteria, scorn, and obfuscation:

North Korea's official KCNA news agency said on Monday that reports of a large accidental explosion at the site or a nuclear test was a "preposterous smear campaign."

"Probably, plot-breeders might tell such a sheer lie, taken aback by blastings at construction sites of hydropower stations in the north of Korea," KCNA said.

Probably. So typical of plot-breeders, isn't it? I am amused by this kind of thing for a moment and then I just start feeling sorry for North Korean people. Those poor bastards have the worst government in the whole world.

Plot-breeder? Is that a breeder reactor that generates pot boilers for genre novels? That is the real threat, these days, shodily concieved plots. We'd better get some UN inspectors over to the Stephen King mans, pronto.

Preposterous perfidious probable proliferating plotters! One trait of treasonous trashmongering terrorist territories is their assiduous assonance and consonance. They've studied in the Batman school of Evil Leader Literary Construction.

Their news site is a font of unintentional comedy: http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm

Sample: "The U.S. imperialists are now bent on their moves to send midget radios and TV sets into the DPRK in an effort to break up the single-hearted unity there and degenerate and disintegrate it from within. This fact alone well shows how desperately they are running about with bloodshot eyes to destroy the DPRK, the bulwark of socialism."

Mmm, midget radios!
