  • I think we should honor him by remembering the amazing 'facts' of his life. Like this one: “According to North Korean historical literature, Kim Jong Il was born in a log cabin inside a secret base on Korea’s most sacred mountain, Mt. Paekdu. At the moment of his birth, a bright star lit up the sky, the seasons spontaneously changed from winter to spring, and rainbows appeared.” Enjoy them all at:

    dear leader
    a swallow and a rainbow told us you would come
    down from the heavens
    to lead us, oh great one dear leader
    you studied education
    and through the floods, famines and wars
    we worshipped your two chins
    you fearless leader of our nation dear leader
    oh none could e’er refute
    greatest dictator of them all
    you were born to persecute  dear leader kim
    illest leader of the heavens
    rest in style like james bond
    of whom you were so fond dear leader
    they said your mood was in the weather
    and today, it is so breezy
    are you feelin a little gassy?
