Whatever else you might say about Kim Jong-Un, the horse is wearing well-fitting tack, a mild bit, and looks well cared for. And he’s not hauling on the reins.)

Indeed, that’s a handsome dappled horse there. The article I saw on Yahoo was followed by many reader comments (as one might expect), and a great many of them were in this same vein. Yes, that Kim Jong Un is a real beauty! But who is that sitting on his back? . . . And numerous others along the same lines.

I like the last paragraph: **"When Mr. Tracy was asked Tuesday whether he had any concerns that the misinterpretation of these articles could provoke international incidents, he said, ‘The Onion fully intends to provoke international incidents’.”** 😃

That is even better. 😃

Poor kid. He’s the living definition of ‘stuck between a rock and a hard place’ right now.
