Who's Excited? I'm Excited.
I know we're all very excited about tomorrow. It's a big day, October 31st. That's right, the start of the 2007 NBA season is here.
Ok, fine. Maybe you aren't excited. But at least I'm not alone. Kim Jong Il is also completely stoked. His whole administration is full of huge fans.
Gene Schmiel was the deputy director of Korean affairs for the State Department in the early 1990s when he met with some top North Korean officials making a rare visit to the United States. They met during the day, had dinner together and then continued their discussions in a hotel suite, hoping to find common ground with a staunchly communist country – the so-called Hermit Kingdom – that does not allow its 23 million citizens access to cell phones, the Internet, international TV or free press.Things seemed to be progressing methodically when the most senior North Korean diplomat looked at his watch and, Schmiel said, blurted out: "Stop. No more. Michael and Bulls are on TNT, and I've got to see if Scottie (Pippen) has gotten over his latest injury."
However, unlike Dear Leader, I have tickets for the third Clippers game of the year. Sucker!
