This just in...

Many in the diplomatic community were pleasantly surprised by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il's recent decision to rejoin the six-party nuclear talks. U.S. intelligence sources have now revealed a major reason for his change of heart. In a recent electronic intercept, Kim was overheard commenting on the large number of government offices that Americans will be voting on today: "I've never managed to hold even one election, but these Americans can have hundreds in just one day? How can I compete with that?"

Update: Yes, this is a joke (stupid and juvenile...but still a joke). Pronounce Kim Jong-Il's quote above as he would pronounce it and hopefully you'll get it.
