An open letter. Sent this to a friend, she's blocked me. Been a good day.

47. Reminds mme of something that happened to me around 2005

I was expressing my distaste for a certain head of state who had no leadership qualities at all, liked to play soldier, while having to rely on his (his dad’s, really) inner circle for advice on anything military. For that matter, it was the fact that his dad had gone before him that put him in the position in the first place. Were it not for that, he would have ended up as a low-level bureaucrat or a street sweeper.

I got an angry riposte from some Republican who thought I was showing a shameful disrespect to our president (W). I explained that I had been talking about Kim Jong Il of North Korea, but if they saw so much similarity in the two, well far be it from me to disagree.
