Praying for the collapse of one more tyrant in the Axis of Evil.

A reunified and free Korea. What a wonderful thing to ponder.

This article is so annoying. You have one source saying that some portraits have been removed and other sources saying that many portraits remain, and the author acts as if these statements are contradictory. Not even in North Korea can all portraits be removed at exactly the same time.

Since until now taking down the Beloved Leaders portrait can get you tossed into a hard labor camp for the rest of your artificially truncated life, the fact that some people are taking them down strikes me as a serious development.

If he's dead I hope he doesn't keep lying to us about it like Arafat did. Stick a mirror under his nose. If there's no fog on it, cremate him regardless of what he says.
