...many times can someone sell the same dead puppy to the same dupes? North Korea's Kim Jong Il is currently conducting an international experiment to determine the answer to this question. The merchandise the Dear Leader is hawking isn't really a dog that won't hunt, of course?it's another phony nuclear deal.

(More, in French, sounds like the word for death. "Donnez-moi un packet de Mort, s'il-vous plait." In Italy, they're pronounced Mor-ay: nearly the Italian word for love.)
