KIM WILL DRINK UP ALL THE HENNESSY YOU GOT ON YOUR SHELF

Two stories from today's papers: The Seattle Post-Intelligencer takes a tour of Portland's breweries while the Washington Post offers up an excellent story on U.N. sanctions against North Korea that prohibit the sale of luxury goods. An interesting tidbit:

The case against selling weapons and nuclear know-how to a bellicose government argues itself. Restricting designer duds, Chanel No. 5 and rare stamps involves subtler reasoning, said Jerrold M. Post, psychiatrist and director of the political psychology program at George Washington University. Post's book "Leaders and Their Followers in a Dangerous World" profiles Kim's eclectic tastes and includes a sales figure from Hennessy that puts Kim's annual cognac budget at up to $800,000 a year.
