The fat little coward is afraid his loving, admiring subjects are going to bump him off! Life is good.

Castro with a sudden mystery illness and brother Raul AWOL, now Kim Be Ill’in nowhere to be seen?

I know I’m wrong but if Chavez goes missing…..

Somebody should check Kim Jong-Il's shark tank. He might have accidentally fallen in.

When his body bloats and produces enough gas to become buoyant.

He has probably joined the Scientologists in Clearwater. Check the bus station on Park Street.

He's golfing, and when you're on a streak of 108 hole in ones, you're just not gonna stop.
