North Korea Upgraded to "Axis of Valuable Allies"

Washington, DC - Following its successful nuclear test, the White House has promoted to North Korea to become a member of the "Axis of Valuable Allies."


"Bring me my brown pants!"

Previously, the President had labeled North Korea a member of the "Axis of Evil." In today's press conference, Snow was asked about the apparent abrupt change.

"There really hasn't been an abrupt change. We were, you know, monitoring North Korea, and so we started them off in the penalty box, if you will," said Snow. "They were like a teenager getting their driver's permit, if you will."

"But now that we've seen that they have the capability to safely explode a nuclear device, we are pleased to have them join us as an ally in the global war on terror. We're pretty sure that Kim Jong Il shares our interest in building an enduring democracy in Iraq. If you will."
