Yomiuri News in Japan is reporting that Kim actually died yesterday (December 17). Further, since the line of succession is not clear, confusion or unrest is to be expected.

Mr. Kim died from fatigue during a train ride on Saturday, a weeping (NK state) television announcer said.

Chairman Kim Jong-il passed away in this train due to accumulated mental and physical fatigue

The Republican establishment is deeply saddened that they will lose two days of Newt Bashing.tm. Darn their luck.
