World: North Korean heir apparent: Kim Jong-un looks friendly to us

  • Is it us, or does it seem like Kim Jong-un might perhaps be a little too nice for the job of being the heir apparent of North Korea? He doesn’t seem to have that unhinged, bloodthirsty look to him that his dad has. Fun fact, by the way: Kim Jong-il wasn’t born in North Korea. He’s technically Russian (specifically, Siberian) by birth. source

Politics: Pamela Geller, on drawing attention to that whole Park 51 saga

  • ‘I gotta be me. I gotta be free.’ I’m serious. I haven’t thought about that song in a million years. But it’s really true.
  • “Atlas Shrugs” blogger Pamela Geller • In a lengthy New York Times profile on the woman who enabled the Park51 controversy to spread like wildfire. Geller, whose hard-line anti-Islamic stances once got her banned from PayPal, has been a longtime critic of the religion and has pushed more than her fair share of hatred into the world. And she’s built enemies along the way, such as Charles Johnson of “Little Green Footballs,” a former friend who had this nice thing to say: “When people like Pam Geller are the loudest voices out there talking about it, it drowns out everything else and makes everyone look crazy.” (On a side note, this article about Johnson is equally entertaining.) Geller’s next project, by the way? Boycotting Campbell’s soup. source
