These two are more than concerning and appear to hold the power currently...unstable as they are:

“Pyongyang power couple — Kim Kyong Hui, Kim Jong il’s sister, and her husband, Jang Song-taek, both 65 — hold senior posts in North Korea’s nuclear-armed military, and diplomats say..... they appear to have shown little hesitation in the past in purging, and even killing, internal rivals.

Last year, Mrs. Kim was given the rank of four-star general in the army despite persistent reports that... she is a raging alcoholic who has been hospitalized for alcohol poisoning more than once.

Korea scholars say have no reason to doubt South Korean news reports that the cold-blooded ways of Mrs. Kim and Mr. Jang...... helped explain why their 29-year-old daughter committed suicide..... in Paris in 2006, overdosing on sleeping pills and alcohol, rather than give in to her parents’ order to return home to their care.

Yep. I/we call him "Fishlips", in the biz. It has somewhat caught on. Don't have a nickname for her yet.

Maybe General Mrs. Kim Kyong Huisky (a Korean pronunciation for "whiskey"). Real kitchen drinker it sounds. Also, I guess Hennessey can continue to export in massive quantities to DPRK.

Front cover of today's Rodong Shinmun (Workers Daily) newspaper from Pyongyang. Why, IT'S A KEEPER!!

Basically says the "Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Il Has Passed Away" with black bold border and full color shot (usually no color in this daily DPRK official paper to my knowledge).
