WNU Editor: Now we know why he is fat and why he is always smiling. Mind you .... he is starting to not like the "fat jokes" ....

On a side note .... and it is something that I have noticed only in the past year .... when North Korean leader Kim Jong Un makes a public appearance in a city .... the streets are completely deserted (see above photo).
What I find telling is that every picture of fat Kim with other officials, all the other officials have a pen and a little notebook, open and ready for the next entry. Love to see a sampling of what they are jotting down.
