RANGOON -- Fresh off a bloody crackdown on more than 2,000 peaceful Buddhist monks, Myanmar's ruling junta announced today that it was targeting kittens and bunnies next.
"After last week's fun in Rangoon, I was quickly left bored and listless. I found myself wanting some other group to crush ruthlessly, and I wondered, 'What could be even more defenseless and wholesome than a Buddhist monk?' And I thought, "Kittens!" said Senior General Than Shwe, head of Myanmar's government. "So I decided to kill me some kittens. And after that it'll be bunnies."
Myanmar's army won't even have to use its own weapons for the kitten kill. China is contributing submachine guns and ammunition, while Thailand has sent thousands of hungry dogs.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that if Myanmar ran out of its own kittens, he would gladly supply Russian ones.
The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution condemning the act, but saying that it has no jurisdiction over hostile acts against felines and rodents. And even if it did, the council declared, it wouldn't have the authority to act. And even if it had the authority, it would just sit by and watch because at this point that's all it knows how to do.
I used and referred to your post in my blog (www.kcidybom.zaadz.com). Hope that's okay with you - funny stuff.

Since the Axis of Drivel connecting Rangoon and Pyongyang still spins , perhaps the Dear Leader can regurgitate a few bunnies for his Burmese buddies - they sure won't be getting any from Berlin:
