>I remember when the Soviet Union was the world's greatest generator of the political invective phrase.

I respectfully disagree. As a teen, I read a dozen or more of Kim Il Sung's works, all featuring his "juche" ideology, and he was undoubtedly the master. His stuff had me literally LOL many many times. I would not say "the North Koreans are carrying on the tradition", because it seems to me that the son does not have the gift for it that his father did. The good thing about this site is that it includes much of the late Beloved Leader's work, not just the second-rate imitations of the current incumbent.
