The Crimson Peanut to the rescue

The Elders discuss the North Korean situation.
Some presidents spend their retirement fishing.  Mr James "Jimmy" Carter spends his playing Mystery Men.  At the moment, he's in North Korea trying to solve its nuclear weapons problem–and we know how well Mr Carter was at handling the Communists when he was in office. 

I say "superhero" because Mr "Brezhnev lied to me!" Carter is there on a mission for the World Council of Elders; a self-styled organisation of washed up politicians elder statesmen who think they have some sort of right to poke their noses into other people's business.  I'm not sure if they gave Mr Carter a power ring before he set off, but I'm told that the Elders do like to put on tights and sit around in their domed Arctic fortress of an evening until it's time for cocoa.

Just the place for Jimmy. No killer swamp rabbits. Anything meatier than a shrew had long ago been devoured by a population desperately enjoying the benefits of communism. And the shrews are nervous.

In other matters, sincerest wishes that Barry Husseinovich will soon join the Elders as their annoying kid sidekick.
