I'm sure this is a fascinating article, I'm just not going to read it. That doesn't mean I don't love this line, lifted shamelessly from
Arts & Letters Daily, which I recommend reading, well, daily:
North Korea is a small, isolated, stagnant pond left over from the flood of Marxism-Leninism, which long ago receded. But it has nowhere to drain away.
[...]
It is more to be pitied than to be feared.
Perfect! But this got me to dig up this
monstrosity, the Ryugyong, the creepiest hotel in North Korea. It isn't any less
creepy now that it's falling in on its own misguided intentions.
