SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69.
Kim's death was announced Monday by state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.
Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media.
The leader, reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine, was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.

You have to love it!
The most isolated and thoroughly communist country in the world is now ruled by a hereditary dynasty! Just like Russia was prior to the Communist Revolution.
Communism has now failed militarily, economically and politically! I don't think there is another way that political system can fail.

I've been trying to rhyme Kim Jong Il with Ding-Dong, the witch is dead, but I'm just enjoying the news too much to keep on trying.
