#1 Although the use of run-on sentences was typical of what usually comes from that bunch, I found the tone and timber of this bit a little....tame. There were no references to a "sea of fire" or other such gobbledy gook. As a result, they score low with me today.

Perhaps the writer needs an increase in his ration of grass--he seems all tuckered out!

#2 With Cheeseâ¢! *6.5* Windy, but more bark than bite.

#3 What? No Juche? No "Sea of Fire? Rates no more than a 5.

#4 What a windbag! You are right - this is pretty tame.

K C N A:
The Korean Central News Agency is the state-run agency of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
It speaks for the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government.
It was founded on December 5, 1946.
It is located in the capital city of Pyongyang. It has branches in provincial seats and in some foreign countries.
News is transmitted to other countries in English, Russian, and Spanish.
The KCNA is in charge of uniform delivery of news and other informations to mass media of the country,including newspapers and radios.
It develops the friendly and cooperative relations with foreign news agencies.

Unfortunately the people of NK have been steadily fed this B-S for their entire life and dont know any different. They dont get any news except this personallity cult B-S about how great and glorious Kimmie Boy is and how dispicable the 'Imperialists' are.

#5 Where's the passion? Where's the Juche? 5.8

#6 A sad day for the NKor. Not only does Howard Dean sound more passionate than they do, but even Gephardt does.

#7 I think I'll give em a pass on this one. After all, it's a birthday party. They've been saving their lawn clippings for weeks. They want to let their hair down and throw back some White Slag. Every day can't be a spittle fest. You run of spittle! When they get a hold of Condi's remarks, we may see the return to the Sea of Fireâ¢ and Merciless Chastisement to Punishment that we know fills their shriveled little hearts.

#8 Sorry, guys, 5.0 at best. Structure rambles on, no Juche, no Army Based Policy, no Sea of Fire...where's the passion, dammit?

#9 What we're probably missing here is the stage direction in the announcement:

"To be announced in one breath"

Kinda makes it a challenge

#10 *holds up card* 58. Songun policy is a synonym for Juche. However, I concur with my fellow judges on the lack of passion..

#11 Let's see...heroic struggle and victory...okay
Kim Jong Il...represents the motherland and destiny of the nation. Hmmm...asskissy lacks suction.
The rest of this limp effort sounds like the start of the annual "Let's Eat Less Tree Bark So the Army Doesn't Pass Out From Hunger" campaign.

Faugh. 6.0...at best.

#12 It sounds like there's about to be a change of personnel in the Korean Central News Agency. It sounds like neither the guy that wrote it, nor the guy that delivered it, was sincere. It sounds like even they're getting tired of the spittle and juche. 4.2 is the best I can do. Hope the guys working on this had their bags packed and tickets for China ready - they'll need them, like yesterday.

#13 I'm saddened at KCNA's loss of spirit. Where's the fire, where's the passion, where's the Juche? Pah. Weak, 4.5.
