It’s been a busy couple of days, and I haven’t had much of the solitary time that brooding and writing requires. Today, for example, we spent gallivanting around the city, and at one point we found ourselves harborside in the out-of-the way Brooklyn neighborhood known as Red Hook.
The weather was splendid, and we took a little stroll along the waterfront. There appeared in the harbor a truly colossal cruise-ship, the biggest I’ve ever seen. I snapped a photo of it. I have no idea what ship it is, or where it was going. Here it is:
Not much of a post, but it’s the best I can do for today.

Well if you’ll look a bit closer you’ll see the NewsCorp logo amidships. About the O-3 deck.
I was hoping at least for a post congratulating Kim Jong-Il for his son’s ascension to power. I’m sure the Dear Leader was equally crestfallen. However, he can take comfort in the fact that his name is an anagram for “Joking Mil.” How do I know this?

The Internet is truly God’s answer to people with too much time on their hands.
Send in your receipt, and we’ll send you a full refund.
Given his youth, Kim Jong-un may prove to be Kim un-Jong.
As for that colossal cruise ship, just remember that the universe is expanding, so the ship is getting smaller all the time.
Just to keep things in perspective . . .

Actually, that Kim Jong-un situation, which will probably proceed as a kind of multi-party regency, could turn into rather a messy business.
Let’s hope so . . .

Regrettably, the dictators of oddball Communist countries all seem to die of old age. First Enver Hoxha, and soon Castro and Kim. It would be so much more gratifying if youtube carried video of marchers carrying their heads on a pike.
Not the CeauÅŸescus: they were chased around a courtyard and machine-gunned.
Fair point. My favorite, however, is Leon Trotsky being killed with an ice axe. It has that je ne sais quoi quality which a courtyard machine gunning lacks.
