It's "very likely" that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's powerful uncle, Jang Sung-taek, has been removed from his top-level position in government, two South Korean lawmakers said Tuesday, citing a briefing from their county's intelligence service.

And two close allies of Jang -- Lee Yong-ha and Jang Soo-kee -- have been publicly executed, one of the South Korean lawmakers said at a news conference.

Pork Chop doesn’t like anybody at all. What we need to do is set North Korea against Bashar (Girrafe Neck) Assad in Syria. Both scions of bloody dictators. Both made endlessly wealthy from the gratuitous suffering of their countrymen. Both fish out the water. Both envious of the West. Both viewing the world as a cornered rat does. Start floating rumors back and forth. See who eliminates who first. If that scenario starts up, grab the popcorn!

What kind of document is that of the family tree? I’ve tried to copy it to put it in an email but cannot. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Like the “Lady Riding the Tiger” you can ride the tiger out but you will be in the Tiger’s stomach on the ride back! Similar to poking the tiger in the cage when the cage is unlocked, oops!

Because it some kind of interactive thing. The guy they think is missing is married to Jong-un’s aunt, his fathers younger sister (his sookbu or something)

Everyone has different terms for every family relation and its different for males and females. It is quite complicated if you ask me.

Is it too much to hope that there’s some disaffection in the Nork ranks, that someone(s) has(have) figured out that the country would be a lot better off on two squares a day, and just screw all the scrimping, scraping, and starving for the nuke projects?
