Kim Jong-Il is dead, and his son Kim Jong-Un is set to take over. What will this mean for the hermit kingdom? I don’t know. What I do find interesting is this little known fact: The titular head of the North Korean state is still Kim Il-Sung, the late Kim Jong-Il’s father. This “necrocracy” as the late Christopher Hitchens called it does give me an idea. Maybe we should adopt a similar approach here in the states. Our electoral system and its conjoined parties has become a mockery of even its very modest original promise. Rather than not vote, we could all agree on a necrocratic write in. John Brown for president. How about it, gang?
