Song of the Day (9/20/2018)

Reagan, and happy (almost) Friday to you! Recently, certain members of this readership have complained that the face of this blog is changing. Well, I'm here to tell you that as long as this blog has a face, this readership has somewhere to sit and read. Let that soak in. I do apologize for the... Continue Reading →

Arch Stanton Guest Post: Kim Jong Il’s Titles, Ranked

Everyone knows North Korea's leaders (Kim Il-song, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un) have an array of special titles, but they have more than you'd think. Like, WAY more.
