A conversation between two of my joking colleagues a long time ago:
Colleague One: You'll come to my funeral, won't you?
Colleague Two: I'll go to your grave (While pretending to open his fly).
Expresses my sentiments about Kim Jong-il pretty succinctly. Good riddance.
Vaclav Havel is a different matter. Quite sad to see him go.

Quote of the Day
There is a question over whether his late mother, a Japanese-born professional dancer called Ko Yong-hui, was Kim Jong Il's official wife or mistress — an issue that might weigh on his legitimate right to replace his father.

Quote from said blog: "Was this amazing one-of-a-kind statistical performance more a reflection on Brees or the Vikings’ pass defense? You’ll have to decide that for yourself. I personally learned nothing new today. I knew going in that Brees was great and that the Vikings’ secondary was abysmal. Today’s statistically absurd outcome only reinforced those points."
It wasn't that historic. He played a great game but he's actually had better games than this. -Rob
Regardless of how ravaged the Vikings secondary has become, Brees put on a clinic for Christian Ponder yesterday. I think Ponder is a good kid, so hopefully he recognizes just how far he has to go to be in the same league as Drew.
Watching Drew Brees every week these last six years has been a joy for Saints fans. He slides back and forth, steps up, and keeps his eyes downfield at all times. Instead of looking for the prototypical QB in stature and arm strength, coaches should watch Brees and teach what he does. If Aaron Rodgers didn't have such an insurmountable lead for MVP, Brees would be in the conversation.
