Totalitarian of the Day Award goes to Kim Chong-il (aka Kim Jong-il), North Korea’s “Dear Leader,” “Great Leader.” News reports today say that he has secreted at least $4 billion in European bank accounts, just in case he loses his position atop the nation that he has impoverished. That’s a minimum of 10 percent of the country’s GDP, which is no doubt over-estimated at $40 billion.  I feel generous so I also award him the dishonor of Thug of the Day. Worse still, Murderer of the Day.
