		<description>"John Ashcroft was a preacher’s kid."

Also a surprisingly good singer.  Not saying that he belts it out with a lot of soul - we are talking about John Ashcroft here - but the man can hold a tune, no doubt about it.  However, I don't know if that makes him any more presidential than being a preacher's son.  Doubt it.</description>

		<description>John Ashcroft was a preacher's kid.  

Tell me now, objectively, that he did a bad job.

He made all the right moves.  I think he should run for President.</description>

		<description>go and read up on kimsoft.com.  His mother was.  His father, no.

It's more similar to shin-sa, tenno banzai, the way I see it.  It was a natural transition, too.  Ilsung himself was not a Christian.  He did use whatever he thought useful of it for his self worship.  He actually persecuted foreign missionaries, like a good communist would.

He who doesn't read kimsoft is bound to falter.</description>

		<description>Kim Il-sung must have been a preacher's kid.  They usually turn out to be terrors.</description>

		<description>Heh, evidently the elder Kim's mother was indeed a Pentecostal Christian, as described by Thomas J. Belke in &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Juche-Christian-Study-Koreas-Religion/dp/product-description/0882643290" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Juche: A Christian Study of North Korea's State Religion&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which from the looks of it might be a useful resource on this topic.</description>

		<description>Wow, did I just coin a term?  A quick search for "Norkette" in Google turns up just 191 hits, all for stuff that has nothing to do with the Norks.</description>
