Kim Jong-il: The Improbable Golfer

While other world leaders are busy dropping bombs on civilians, using mercenary armies to occupy foreign lands and building apartheid walls, Kim Jong-il is just keeping it real.  Kim is always described as a dictator and an evil despot--somebody the rest of the world should fear.  The last time I checked, the North Korean army wasn't occupying Iraq or Afghanistan.  And it wasn't threatening to level Lebanon.

While other politicians were singing about bombing Iran, Mr. Jong-il was just busy shooting the best round of golf in the history of the world.  According to state media, KJI shot a 34 on a 7700 yard, par 72 course.  That is 38 strokes under par--something that should shame Tiger Woods into hiding for more than a few months.  He reportedly had 5 holes in one.  The probability of having a hole in one, is 1 in 5000.  The probability of 5 in one round?  You figure that out. 

Wouldn't you much rather have a world leader be the best damn golfer in the world than one who invades foreign lands in search of oil and democracy? 

And if you were wondering, the first time Jong-il ever bowled--he scored 300.  Chew on that, Nicolas Sarkozy.
