    Good riddance, too bad the son who will take over is an even bigger piece of shit than the dad was.

    He apparently died a day or two ago. But no word got out of Korea about it until now.

    The U.S. has surveillance satellites in orbit, of course, that cross over North Korea (and other countries) regularly. They are designed to pick up radio signals from the ground. My guess is that our gummint knew about it within a few minutes of its happening, but said nothing until North Korea said something.

    May God have mercy on his soul

    I know I would not


    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    Surprised that the TV station was allowed to announce his death, with all of the censorship there. I won't lose any sleep. Now the clock begins ticking on the idiotic son taking over.

    I hope he suffered great pain for a long period of time before dying.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    I think this is where "f*ck 'im" comes into play.

    I hope he burns in Hell for eternity.

    There goes Obama's perfect record.

    According to Limbaugh, Kim Jong Il was the only foreign leader Obama never had a chance to bow down to, or apologize to.

    And now he never will.

    Too bad, so sad.

    BTW, I've seen several headlines describing how North Korean citizens are crying inconsolably at the death of Kim Jong Il. And there's a piece of video of a large Korean woman, sobbing and wailing as she makes the announcement of Kim's passing.

    When my wife saw that, she was amused.

    My wife was born and raised in mainland China, came here and got her green card after the Tian An Men Square uprisings. Now she's a naturalized U.S. citizen.

    She says that, when Chairman Mao died in 1976, everybody went around sobbing and wailing... but you never saw any actual tears in anyone's eyes. You had to wail and cry, because if you didn't, you risked being thrown in jail.

    That was how Communist China was back then. I wonder if North Korea is any different?
