Dear Leader News

Un-faked recent picture of Kim Jong-Il (click)

Rumors are flying that North Korea's communist boss, Kim Jong-Il, aka Dear Leader, is is seriously ill, incapacitated or perhaps even dead. I got the word from Henry Louis Gomez at Babalu Blog:

Castro Death Watch is linking to a Sky News article about a big announcement that's supposed to be coming out of North Korea tomorrow. Apparently a Japanese newspaper is speculating that Kim Jong Il may be dead. There have been rumors of a stroke or other health incident by the "dear leader" for several weeks.

As the truth is a scarce commodity in any communist nation, speculation, rumor and untrustworthy official denials are all we have to explain the coming big announcement.

Of course, there is always wishful thinking.
