Today's video of the day comes to us from North Korea.  That's right, North Korea.  The country is known for its secrecy, and rarely do photos or videos from inside the nation make their way to the outside world.  With the proliferation of small cameras and smartphones though more and more video gets smuggled out from visitors to the hermit kingdom.  It's very risky to do this, so if you find yourself in North Korea, probably better not to take the risk.

This morning, I went out early to buy my copy of the weekend FT — a great newspaper, by the way. I was a bit surprised to see that my regular newsstand, on 6th Avenue and 55th Street, had exactly 3 newspapers for sale — one copy of Baron’s and two copies of The New York Post. That was it. No FT, no NY Times, no Washington Post, no… nothing.
