“Dear Mr. Lowry,

While I too suffer from “White American Male Supremacy” syndrome (WAMSS), I

am also the father of two Korean children, and therefore have politically

correct license to describe Kim Jong Il in any form I deem suitable. This

privilege is transferable and over-rides the opinions of State Department

hacks. I hereby authorize you to describe Kim Jong Il as a “lunatic,”

“fever addled madman,” “megalomaniacal vampire,” and “Dwarf King of

Mordor.” Let me know if you need additional adjectives.”
