North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il - DEAD
Quote:
SEOUL, South Korea – DEVELOPING: Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69.
Kim's death was announced Monday by state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.
Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media.
The leader, reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine, was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.
The news came as North Korea prepared for a hereditary succession. Kim Jong Il inherited power after his father, revered North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, died in 1994.
In September 2010, Kim Jong Il unveiled his third son, the twenty-something Kim Jong Un, as his successor, putting him in high-ranking posts.

Hm... The BBC says the South Korean military has been put on alert.
Probably just overreacting...
Good times

The MSM never ceases to educate/amaze me. I never knew "mercurial and enigmatic" was the Politically Correct way of saying "batshit crazy". Good riddance to bad rubbish. Hopefully somebody gets ambitious and his son(s) suffer an untimely fate. Maybe then the North Korean people will have a chance to improve their lot and maybe join the rest of the world.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)

The kid that admitted he wasn't crazy enough to lead the country in an interview a few months ago.

his son kin jong-un took power as successor, and he looks like he's ready to fall over from obesity soon, won't give him long. Doesn't really look like someone ready to be a leader, can't wait to see what happens

The passing of the Froot-Loops should be a splendid display...
Wonder how they are going to get enough people fed in order for them to be strong enough to stand along the parade route...??
So "Great" leader begat "Dear" leader... wonder what the next one is?
Anybody in Vegas taking odds or did I miss the announcement?

Refrains from "Won't Get Fooled Again" come to mind, or was that for the 2012 elections?
