1. No, it is North Korean Juchemobile

It is everyday worker's car in North Korea, and designed by Great Leader Kim Il Sung who wisely directed that every person in North Korea have one. The plans were stolen by western imperialist spies who renamed it after one of their own presidents.

8. Really? The nation that gave the world the week-long Reagan necrogasm critiquing someone else?

Hoo boy, the coverage this morning leading off the Toady Show was just precious. Every talking chucklehead in the popular media has conveniently forgotten the week spent mourning our own Dear and Glorious Leader, the multiple settings, the sunset farewell and the dramatic coffin clutch of the grieving widow.
