“North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il is said to be a film buff, so perhaps he’s familiar with the classic “Groundhog Day,” in which Bill Murray plays a TV reporter who is condemned to relive February 2 over and over again.

Better yet, the diplomats are crazy. The definition – continuing to do the same thing over and over again and yet somehow expecting a different outcome.

The only two things Kim understands and which have any chance of changing his behavior are:

1. tying a noose around his wallet and
2. a stiff whack on the nose

Where are the 2 x 4’s?
