AP feed is saying the fucker's dead.  Wikipedia says the same.

Tim?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Beeb now reporting.


I think they've just said Korean state television has confirmed this.

Yes NK state television announced it some 6-7 minutes ago.

He's not dead, you fools. He is gone asleep like his dad is.

Man, I was expectantly watching Spellus's thread fall and Habbs rise.

I like to think this is karma for losing Hitchens, Evora and Havel in such a short timespan.

Who can say what the fuck this means though :blink:

2011's been very interesting.  I think the same could be true of 2012 :ph34r:

I was about to post a joke about his "late" comment but the thread disappeared into the ether.

You could almost say we've lost a Saint, a Sinner* and a Devil in the last 3 or 4 days.

It means his son, who by all the limited known accounts is about as batshit goofy as the old man was, will continue to make things interesting.
