pick a lil' blog a lil'

this little tidbit is from the Japan Today website:

SEOUL — CNN founder Ted Turner arrived in the North Korean capital Pyongyang on Saturday, North Korean official media reported.

"Robert Edward Turner, chairman of the Turner Foundation INC. of the United States, and his party ... arrived here," said the Korean Central News Agency, monitored here.

South Korean officials said Turner was visiting the Stalinist state to discuss a project to turn the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas into a nature reserve.

He will visit an international environmental forum on the project here early next week, they said. (Wire reports)

Um, okay. Just what the Koreans(and the rest of the world) need.............an idiot with perhaps one of the more idiotic ideas I have heard espoused recently. Which is really saying something as ridiculousness is so much in vogue right now. Maybe he'll find his soulmate in North Korea's murderous dictator Kim? I mean only a bunch of far left nutjobs would choose to hold an international conference on the environment in a country that quite likely has the most repressive regime in the entire world. The endangered species in North Korea are the people of this country and they don't need a dang wildlife preserve and they certainly don't need some dim bulb fool and his comrades vomiting up their insane ideas. I wonder how the starving citizens of North Korea would make of the sumptious meals these "eco-conscious" fools are sure to indulge. Disgusting.
