Enjoy eternity in HELL.

#3 Rooters sez:

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il died Saturday on a train trip, a tearful state television announcer, dressed in black, reported Monday.

The announcer said that the 69-year old had died of physical and mental over-work on his way to give "field guidance."

Yeah, that "field guidance" shit takes a lot outta ya...

#6 Unfortunately, my take on the situation is that the son who is heir apparent is probably nuttier and more antisocial than darling dad.

This will get interesting as the various factions try to consume or eliminate each other to elbow their way to the table with Junior.

Could get ugly.

Who's making the popcorn on this one.

Hopefully the ROK is on full alert.

#7 I did the same thing, Angie. I wonder what Hans Brix and Aric Bardwin have to say.

#8 I'm sponsoring a couple of kids in S.Korea and one of them is in an orphanage on the outskirts of Seoul. My behind is puckering 'cause I can't do a thing about it. I'm afraid those dipsticks in the North will start a shooting war.

#10 I rather doubt the son will be able to keep control. He will be a faction leader, at best.

I have no idea what the factions are, though. Anyone have a link?

#11 Shall we start a pool on the life expectancy of Junior? Just looking at the guy gives me the creeps.

#12 From Ace:

God was too busy killing Kim JOng-Il to help out Tebow.

#13 Oh the irony ...

* TOPIX > NO "MAGIC ANSWER" FOR NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR STANDOFF:US.

* IIRC SAME > PYONGYANG POSER: NUKES FOR FAST FOOD.

Yeah, ROK repor went on full military alert after they got the news.

"Fatigue" = heart attack or stroke while asleep or in diabetic coma???

OTOH, THIS IS STILL THE "ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE" - Perhaps Kimmie died at TORA BORA watching 1960's = 1980's, 1990's Whitney Huston MTV Videos wid OSAMA???

#14 NO! Who will make all the holes-in-one on the golf course with Kimmie dead!? Matt Damon!?
