So, he’s a despot who likes threatening neighboring countries with nuclear annihilation, and your problem with him is that he’s fat? Classy. ---

Ya gotta wonder what the starving masses think about having such a well-fed overlord. What do they call him? His daddy was Dear Leader, but I don’t know that I’ve heard his self-bestowed title. ---
